Gary Neville endorses Cole Palmer's potential move to Manchester United
Summary

Gary Neville expressed that Cole Palmer would be a valuable addition to Manchester United if he were to join from Chelsea this summer. Palmer, regarded as 'gold' by Neville, has been a standout since his transfer to Chelsea, where he has become a key player despite a challenging season. Chelsea views Palmer as 'untouchable' and has a long-term contract, but there are indications he might prefer a move to United. Neville noted that such signings align with historical strategies of Manchester United, comparing potential recruits like Harry Kane and Declan Rice to past successes. While a midfield overhaul is planned, it's unclear if Palmer's transfer will be pursued actively.
