​​Manchester United have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku during the upcoming January transfer window.​​ ​​

According to French outlet L’Equipe, United’s new head coach, Rúben Amorim, is keen on bolstering his attacking options and views Nkunku as a prime candidate.​​ ​​

​​Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in July 2023, signing a six-year contract.​​ ​​However, his tenure at Stamford Bridge has been challenging, with limited Premier League starts and competition from players like Nicolas Jackson.​​ ​​

Despite these hurdles, Nkunku has showcased his talent, netting 10 goals across all competitions this season for Chelsea. ​​

​​The French international’s situation has attracted attention from several clubs, with Manchester United reportedly making preliminary inquiries about his availability.​​ ​​

Nkunku is said to be considering his future, as he seeks more consistent playing time and a key role in the squad.​​

​​Chelsea’s management now faces a decision: retain Nkunku, who was a significant investment, or entertain offers from interested parties.​​ ​​

The club’s stance on this matter will likely depend on their assessment of Nkunku’s potential contributions and the strategic direction under manager Enzo Maresca.​​
