Pulisic has been courted by United for 2 years. Not sure why you dismiss Delaney when he is very, very good (city did actually pull out because they see Stones as the lewd defender and Otamendi is playing so well they don't need a second defender, but a rotational one, hence Evans, who is still pony and I can't understand the intense interest in him). What also goes in United's favour is the ability to offer Dortmund a replacement for him by sending Miki back.
