DBasia.news – Christian Pulisic chose to join Chelsea over Manchester United when he left Borussia Dortmund. Robin Walker, a staff member in the Dortmund coaching team, was a strong reason behind Pulisic’s decision to go to Chelsea.
Christian Pulisic was fighting for Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of the 2019 winter transfer window. At that time, the two clubs were still being handled by their old managers.
At that time, Chelsea was still under the care of Maurizio Sarri. On the other hand, Jose Mourinho is a figure who is in power at Manchester United.
Apparently, this condition was used by Robin Walker to persuade Christian Pulisic to Chelsea. Not without reason, the Borussia Dortmund coach team member is a fan of the Blues.
Robin Walker exploits the reputation of Jose Mourinho who rarely plays young players. The result, Christian Pulisic also decided to accept Chelsea’s offer.
“When I was at Borussia Dortmund, I told Christian Pulisic to choose Chelsea. That was because Jose Mourinho was still handling Manchester United,” recalled Robin Walker.
“Christian Pulisic’s father will be upset with Jose Mourinho who rarely plays young players. I am also trying to sell the City of London to Pulisic.”
“Christian Pulisic’s agent also agrees with me. He said when making a decision it has something to do with property investment. I am glad Pulisic chose Chelsea,” he added.
Overall, Christian Pulisic has played in three matches with Chelsea. Of this amount, the player from the United States contributed one assist.
