Man Utd: £64m Ten Hag target 'might think he's too good' for Old Trafford

Manchester United target Christopher Nkunku ‘might think he’s too good’ for the struggling club at this moment in time, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The 24-year-old has been in exceptional form for RB Leipzig throughout the current campaign and has been linked with a move away from the Red Bull Arena as a result.

According to German outlet Sport Bild, Leipzig chiefs would be reluctantly willing to sanction the sale of Nkunku if their €75 million (£64m) valuation is met this summer.

The report states that the France international’s boyhood club Paris Saint-Germain are eager to recapture his services, while United are also listed as potential suitors.

And it’s little surprise that Nkunku, who Goal described as “unstoppable”, is attracting the attention of some of European football’s biggest clubs following an outstanding 2021/22.

In 49 appearances across all competitions, the versatile star has registered 34 goals and 19 assists despite Leipzig struggling to hit their previous heights both domestically and across the continent.

Incoming United manager Erik ten Hag is expected to oversee several changes during his first transfer window at the helm, and Nkunku could be a valuable addition to his new-look side.

When asked if the likes of Hugo Ekitike and Nkunku could arrive at Old Trafford, Jones claimed that the former is unlikely to sign before stating that the latter is ‘most likely’ to end up at PSG.

He told GiveMeSport: “I don’t think Ekitike is very likely. And Nkunku they should be interested in, but I’m not sure how interested he will be in Manchester United.
