Man Utd 'plot Christian Pulisic loan offer' as Chelsea pariah's stance on switch clear
But they have had a strained relationship since Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard in January 2021. Speaking earlier this summer, Pulisic opened up about his long-standing relationship with the Chelsea boss.
And he admitted that there had been "more difficult times" between the two at Chelsea. He said: "Being an American in Germany was very difficult for me at first, but he [Tuchel] gave me my chance and he clearly saw something in me.
"I was really grateful for that and then we had some good times together and also some tougher times. Now that he's at Chelsea and coming back, I think he's grown as a coach and that I grew up as a player is to try to find that relationship.
"We had good times and bad times, I have to prove myself and that's what I will do."
