Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has expressed confidence in the club’s ability to lure top talents, including Chelsea’s rising star Cole Palmer, despite their current struggles in the Premier League.
United’s Troubling Season
United are enduring a difficult campaign, sitting 13th in the league after 20 matches, just seven points above the relegation zone.
Head coach Ruben Amorim recently acknowledged the possibility of a relegation fight, intensifying the pressure on the club.
Financial constraints, particularly around Financial Fair Play regulations, further complicate their ability to make significant acquisitions without offloading players.
Cole Palmer’s Development at Chelsea
Palmer, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City last summer, has quickly become a standout performer at Stamford Bridge.
The 21-year-old midfielder has impressed with his creativity and composure, establishing himself as a key figure under Mauricio Pochettino.
Brown highlighted Palmer’s potential during an interview with The Sports Daily, stating:
“Chelsea have done so well to develop Palmer after taking a small risk in signing him, and look at how good he is as a player at such a young age.”
Palmer’s boyhood allegiance to United adds an intriguing dimension, though his success at Chelsea and their likely qualification for the Champions League make a move highly unlikely in the immediate future.

United’s Appeal Remains Intact
Despite their struggles, Brown believes United’s historic stature and star power can still attract elite players.
“Luckily for Manchester United, they still have the star power to be able to tempt top players like Cole Palmer to the club,” Brown remarked.
However, he acknowledged the financial challenges of securing Palmer, given his growing reputation and Chelsea’s investment in his development.
