Manchester United face Bayern Munich transfer battle as loan deal claim emerges

Manchester United's summer transfer window rolls on and it could be a busy one based on recent reports.

United have added Matheus Cunha to their squad in a £62.5million deal from Wolves, and there is the potential for more moves to come. Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo is a target for United and there remains confidence that a deal will be completed despite two bids being rejected by the Bees.

Ruben Amorim will be looking ahead to his first full season as United head coach, which will start with a home clash against Arsenal on August 17 in the Premier League. United will also be mindful of September 1, which will be deadline day for this year's summer transfer window.

Here, the Manchester Evening News takes a look at some of the latest United transfer news and gossip that has emerged over the last 24 hours.

United are once again being linked with a move for Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku.

The Athletic have reported that United are set to battle Bayern Munich for the France international's signature this summer.

Nkunku looks increasingly likely to leave Chelsea this summer, with United now being mentioned as a potential destination.

It remains to be seen what price tag Chelsea would demand for Nkunku, who scored 15 goals in all competitions last season.

MEN Sport says: United have been linked with signing Nkunku in the past, and it's not a surprise to see those rumours again, given the club's desire to sign a centre forward. What may prove to be crucial is the asking price from Chelsea and whether or not it will fit into their budget for the upcoming campaign.

Antony's future at United could be coming to an end based on a fresh report.

Caught Offside have claimed that Real Betis are in talks to sign Antony once again
