Man Utd add £62m forward to summer list after scouts stun Rangnick

Man Utd have made RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku one of their summer targets, according to reports.

The 24-year-old recently made his France debut after scoring 17 goals and providing 12 assists in the Bundesliga so far this campaign.

Nkunku has two years left on his contract at the end of this season and a reported release clause of around £62m, with lots of clubs taking interest in him.

He has played as an attacking midfielder this season too but many of his goals have also come when he’s been deployed as a forward.

And ESPN reporter Mark Ogden recently claimed that the Man Utd scouts had stunned interim boss Rangnick when they admitted that they had compiled no information on Nkunku.

Since then Sky Sport Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has insisted that Nkunku is now on United’s ‘list’ for the summer transfer window.

He confirms that Rangnick ‘is a big fan’ and that ‘there were talks about the player’ with the Premier League club now ‘considering the option of bringing him’ to Old Trafford.

However, Plettenberg hinted that the Red Devils could have to clear some room as ‘there are still too many other options in the squad’ at Man Utd.
