Man United continue monitoring Chelsea star Cole Palmer amid growing reports suggesting the England international could consider returning to Manchester.
Palmer signed a long-term seven-year contract with Chelsea in 2023, including an option extending his stay further.
After leaving Manchester City, Palmer quickly established himself at Chelsea and earned his first England call-up.

Recent reports claim the 23-year-old, a boyhood United supporter, may be open to Old Trafford interest.
It is suggested Palmer has grown unsettled in London after two-and-a-half seasons following his £42.5m move.
Chelsea Planning Ahead Despite Denials
Chelsea are reportedly preparing for the future, with Estevao tipped to become their long-term number ten option.
That potential succession plan could open the door for United if Chelsea eventually reconsider Palmer’s importance.
However, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior strongly dismissed claims Palmer is unhappy or considering leaving.
Rosenior insisted Palmer is settled, happy, and central to Chelsea’s long-term project under his management, reports Manchester Evening News.
The Chelsea boss also blamed speculation on external attempts to unsettle players during managerial transitions.
Rosenior stressed there have been no internal discussions regarding Palmer’s departure from Stamford Bridge.
Despite Chelsea’s stance, United may still test resolve if Champions League qualification boosts their finances.
