Man United target Nkunku 'set to stay at RB Leipzig next season'

Manchester United's hopes of signing Christopher Nkunku have reportedly taken a hit, with RB Leipzig insisting that the French international will play for them next season.

Nkunku has enjoyed a superb season for the Bundesliga side, and United, who are set to begin their rebuild with incoming manager Erik ten Hag, have been keeping close tabs on him.  

However, the side who sit third in the Bundesliga, reportedly have no plans on parting with their player.

Leipzig president Oliver Mintzlaff has told Sky Sports, as per the Independent: 'Nkunku will be our player next year.'

Mintzlaff though did go on to add that 'in football, nobody is unsellable.'

Ralf Rangnick, United's current interim coach, will step into an advisory role at the end of the campaign, and it is understood that he is an admirer of Nkunku.
