Palmer's best friend wants to bring him to MU.

A status update on his close friend's personal page further fueled rumors linking Cole Palmer with Manchester United.

Cole Palmer is on holiday in Dubai with his close friend Tunde.

Cole Palmer is enjoying a short break in Dubai after a busy run of matches with Chelsea. He's accompanied by Tunde, a rapper from Manchester and a longtime friend.

In the series of photos posted, Tunde wrote: "One day I will bring CP (Cole Palmer) back to MU, back home and where he belongs. Just ask him which is his favorite team."

Tunde's social media post quickly attracted attention, especially since Palmer grew up in Wythenshawe and has been a Manchester United fan since childhood. Since the beginning of 2026, the English media have unanimously reported that the 23-year-old midfielder is homesick. Transfer rumors have therefore become more frequent.

In English football, the "home" factor always carries significant weight. But there's a big gap between personal desire and contractual reality. Palmer still has a long-term contract with Chelsea, and there are currently no clear signs of a departure.

On the pitch, Palmer gradually regained his form. He scored four goals in his last two matches, including a hat-trick against Wolves. Against Leeds, he provided an assist but also missed a good chance late in the game.

His season was interrupted by a groin injury that lasted since the FIFA Club World Cup. He missed 19 games due to various fitness issues. Manager Liam Rosenior publicly defended his player and affirmed that Palmer was happy at Stamford Bridge.
