Six things you might not know about Manchester United target Christopher Nkunku

Manchester United need another rebuild and interim boss Ralf Rangnick has made no secret of his admiration for midfielder Christopher Nkunku, highlighting him as a summer target.

The Red Devils are not alone in their interest, however, with Arsenal also keen to lure him to the Premier League, while Bayern Munich are reported to be monitoring the 24-year-old Frenchman.

Planet Sport takes a look at six things you may not know about the 24-year-old Frenchman.

After five years of progression in the club's youth set-up, Nkunku was handed his debut for the club in December 2015, replacing Lucas Moura in a 2-0 Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

In the 2018/19 season, Nkunku made 22 appearances for the Parisian side, but struggled to make an impact, recording just three goals and two assists.

As PSG made more and more big-money signings, youth players became overlooked. With his contract running down, Nkunku began to look elsewhere.

After negotiations with Ralf Rangnick, who was the director of RB Leipzig at the time, Nkunku became the latest young talent to make a move to the Bundesliga.

There, Nkunku has seen much more game time and has flourished into the player that has now become a target for many top European clubs.

The Frenchman managed an astonishing 13 assists in his debut season - a tally only topped by Emil Forsberg's debut Bundesliga campaign.

Following his move, Nkunku said: "I feel I am blossoming and liberated. Changing clubs was not such a bad idea. Now I can say that it is better to leave your comfort zone to grow taller."

PSG quoted the north London side £17million during negotiations, a fee that Arsenal weren't willing to meet.

The Gunners instead went and signed Denis Suarez on loan instead.
