Manchester United are looking to bolster their offensive options ahead of the new season, exploring the possibility of signing Christopher Nkkank from Chelsea this summer.
The arrival of Matthews Kuña from the wolf has already been confirmed, and with the approaching move of Brentford star Brian Mbeumo, United has not wasted time reshaping the front line.
Once one of Europe’s most promising offensive midfielders during his time at RB Leipzig, Nkunku has endured a difficult spell at Chelsea since £52 million.
The French spells in West London are undermined by injuries and inconsistent performance.

According to Fichajes, Man United sees Nkunku as a player who can inject creativity and goals into the attack, while providing tactical versatility on the frontline.
Chelsea reportedly open to leaving the 27-year-old, but despite limited involvement over the past two seasons, they have made it clear that they don’t enjoy low offers.
Chelsea set a price tag of £35 million on Nkunku. That’s £17 million less than what I paid for RB Leipzig.
Man United is genuinely interested in signing French attackers who believe they can provide depth and diversity to their attacks.
United are about to rebuild their offensive line
With players like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho facing an uncertain future with the club, the Premier League Giants are ready to add attacking options to their teams.
Despite his struggle at Chelsea, Nkank is still a talented player and can play in many different positions.
The potential arrival of the Frenchman could prove to be a sensible business if he can rediscover the form that has become one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting talents.
The debate could accelerate in the coming days. However, the main hurdles remain financial terms and may prove challenging before an agreement is reached.
