Speaking to the media, Rosenior made it clear that Palmer remains central to Chelsea’s long-term project and is not looking for an exit.
Recent reports suggested United were monitoring the 23-year-old’s situation following a period of injury problems.
Liam Rosenior is confident Palmer will stay at Chelsea
However, Rosenior was quick to shut down any suggestion that Palmer is unsettled or considering a move.
“I’ve had numerous conversations with Cole and he seems, and is, very happy to be here,” Rosenior said, as reported by ESPN.
“He is a big part of our long-term plans. He is an excellent player. Every player goes through difficult moments in their career with injuries, but that says nothing about his quality.”
Palmer, who joined Chelsea in a high-profile move from Manchester City in 2023, quickly became one of the Premier League’s young talents.
His creativity, sharp movements and goalscoring skills saw him emerge as one of Chelsea’s most influential players last season.
He helped them win both the Conference League and the Club World Cup under former manager Enzo Maresca.
The Blues star has struggled to perform this season
Although injuries have disrupted his rhythm this season, Palmer remains highly regarded within the club. Chelsea see him as a fundamental part of their long-term rebuild under Rosenior.
Man United’s interest, while not surprising given Palmer’s profile, has been seen internally at Chelsea as nothing more than opportunistic speculation.
With United undergoing their own restructuring and looking for creative reinforcements, Palmer obviously fits the type of player they would admire, but Chelsea are adamant he is not for sale.
Palmer is part of Chelsea’s future and is not a candidate for departure.
As the Blues continue their rebuild, the club remains committed to the young playmaker and will ensure any rumors of a move to Old Trafford remain just that: rumours.
