Cole Palmer has revealed that there will be a split in loyalty in the Palmer household when Chelsea visit Manchester United later tonight.

Palmer has revealed that some members of his family are Manchester United fans, as he also admitted he has never played at Old Trafford.

“I’m relishing the game,” he explained.

“I’ve never played at Old Trafford, so hopefully I play and score a few goals!

“I’ve got a few friends who will be there who are United fans. They will be in the United end. Then my other mates will be in the Chelsea end. A few of my family are City fans, a few are United. It’ll be interesting.”

Cole Palmer also spoke on settling in another city far away from home.

He said: “I felt like I was ready to be playing every week a while ago. I didn’t get the opportunities, so when I came here and got the opportunities, I was just excited and trying to show what I could do.

“It’s been difficult [settling away from Manchester] but I think the performances from myself have helped. If I wasn’t playing – or playing rubbish – I’d be thinking what’s going on. But I’m really enjoying it to be fair.”
