5 replacements for Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United

#4 Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund)

If you ever come across a list of the ten best up and coming footballers in the world today, there’s hardly a possibility of Christian Pulisic not being present on that list.

At the tender age of 20, he has already attracted interest from the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea already exploring the chances of luring him to England. That does tell a lot about the immense potential the American carries within himself, doesn’t it? So also does the fact that Borussia Dortmund slapped a price of €70 million to ward off interest from rival clubs this summer.

Pulisic operates as a right midfielder or a right forward for Dortmund as per the requirements. He is blessed with excellent dribbling abilities and watching him take on a bunch of defenders might have become somewhat of a routine for the Dortmund fans right now. He averages 2 successful dribbles per game at the moment.

The 20-year-old prodigy has scored 2 goals and assisted another 2 in 9 games for Dortmund in all competitions this season. He makes 1.3 key passes per game and also takes 1.3 shots on target per game. He is also a brilliant crosser of the ball, making 0.9 crosses per game.

One thing that would work in Manchester United’s favour, should they decide to pursue Pulisic, is the fact that he has already expressed his favouritism for the Red Devils. Knowing that he has a valuable experience at a young age and is a superstar for the future, Jose Mourinho should bring Christian Pulisic on board as soon as possible.
