Pulisic amtaja Mourinho pale Man Utd
Rising U.S. national team star Christian Pulisic refused a move to Manchester United because of his father's dislike of Jose Mourinho.
According Robin Walker, who coached Pulisic at non-League side Brackley Town in 2005, the Chelsea attacker never contemplated going to Old Trafford because of their former coach.
Mourinho's poor track record of giving youth a chance saw Pulisic's father all but block the potential move with the 20-year-old instead signing for the Blues in January with Walker's encouragement.
"He wouldn't go to Manchester United because of Jose Mourinho," Walker told The Telegraph. "His father couldn't stand Mourinho because he didn't promote young players.
"It was at that point I asked, 'What about London? That's where it's at.'
"I'm a Chelsea fan, I grew up in London supporting them. When I was in Dortmund last year, I told him that he had to come."
