Manchester United have reportedly shown interest in Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku as they prepare for the January transfer window. Under new head coach Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils are exploring options to strengthen their squad, with Nkunku topping their wishlist, according to French outlet *L’Equipe*.
The 26-year-old forward, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig for £52 million last June, is reportedly dissatisfied with his limited game time at Stamford Bridge. He has started just one Premier League match this season. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is allegedly open to letting Nkunku leave, potentially paving the way for a transfer to United.
However, Chelsea may hesitate to sell to a Premier League rival. Despite his contract running for another five years, Nkunku’s 13 goals in 31 appearances have attracted interest from multiple clubs. United could consider him a replacement for Joshua Zirkzee, who has struggled to make an impact since his summer arrival at Old Trafford.
Here is the skill highlight video of Christopher Nkunku.
