Rumours of Manchester United and Cole Palmer\u2019s relationship refuse to go away, and the Chelsea man seems to have a number of friends who are confident he will eventually make the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s<\/a> star man has enjoyed a rapid return to form in recent games after struggling for the majority of the season due to injury.<\/p>\n

Palmer<\/a> will almost certainly start again due to his excellent record against Burnley, however the long-standing fear that he will eventually move on refuses to go away.<\/p>\n

What position do you want to see Palmer in against Burnley? <\/p>\n

Despite Ben Jacobs saying there is nothing in the Palmer to United rumours<\/a>, the Englishman\u2019s close friend has predicted a future move could be on the cards.<\/p>\n

Musical artist Tunde did a Q&A session on his Instagram<\/a> story, and when he was asked what the chances were of Palmer joining United, he said: \u201cVery high.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story has now been deleted, but will no doubt spark fear amongst the Chelsea fanbase that they could be caught in a situation where they may lose the interest of their star man.<\/p>\n

There have currently been no indications that he wants to leave, and in fact only signs that he is really enjoying his time at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Palmer has been revitalised since partnering with Joao Pedro<\/a> in attack, and the duo now have an excellent relationship both on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n

\"\" Chelsea have done what they can to protect from Palmer exit<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, if a boyhood United fan is approached by the Red Devils, there is very little Chelsea can do to stop him wanting to join.<\/p>\n

When the Blues signed the attacking midfielder, they made sure they tied him down for a long period of time. According to Capology<\/a>, his contract lasts until 2033.<\/p>\n

With there being seven years to go until his deal expires, Chelsea are in a position to command a price that would set a Premier League record.<\/p>\n

PSG would be the only side able to afford that<\/a>, potentially easing fees for now that Palmer could be poached in the near future.<\/p>\n
