Former USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel says Christian Pulisic can enjoy a fresh start at Chelsea under manager Graham Potter.

Attacker Pulisic was linked with a summer loan exit to Manchester United.

And Friedel told Betway: "From a United States fan perspective, I want Pulisic to play more, and I want him to do well in the World Cup.

"He may really benefit from Thomas Tuchel leaving, because things weren't going incredibly well on the playing front in terms of starts and minutes on the pitch.

"Again, I don't know what Graham Potter's views are of him, but he is a new head coach so he is going to give him a chance: I am sure of that at some stage.

"But he might be one of the players who really benefits from a managerial change."
