Cole Palmer: Gus Poyet offers advice over shock Man United switch
Manchester United’s reported interest in Cole Palmer has received a strong warning from Gus Poyet.
According to Manchester Evening News, the ex-Chelsea midfielder believes Palmer should remain at his current club rather than move to Old Trafford.
These comments come as Palmer continues to be linked with a switch to M16. His name has been regularly appearing in transfer discussions recently.
Blunt verdict
The 58-year-old left no room for doubt when asked about the idea of Palmer joining United. His response was simply, “I wouldn’t, if I were him.”
The former Uruguay international also observed that United’s name does not carry the same weight as it once did, remarking that it is “not the United from Sir Alex Ferguson.”
In addition, he went further to assert that “Chelsea now is a better club” compared to United in terms of structure and consistency.
Bigger picture
Furthermore, Poyet’s argument extended beyond club conditions. He also raised concerns about Palmer’s role on the pitch.
The 23-year-old left Manchester City after being used on the wing by Pep Guardiola. The former Tottenham Hotspur man therefore suggested similar questions would arise again if Palmer were pushed into wide areas at United.
Poyet also made it clear that he wants Palmer to stay at Stamford Bridge.
Moreover, he stressed that the Blues need him and emphasised that he rates the England international highly.
From a United perspective, Palmer’s name continues to be mentioned when people discuss future attacking or creative options.
Based on Poyet’s view, however, the message is that if Palmer is considering what is best for him right now, West London is the ideal place to stay.
