Manchester United 'hold internal talks over Christopher Nkunku move'

Manchester United have reportedly held 'internal talks' over a summer move for RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for his German club during the 2021-22 campaign, making 42 appearances in all competitions, contributing 28 goals and 18 assists in the process.

Nkunku continues to be linked with a move away from Leipzig, with a number of clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, believed to be interested in his signature.

Man United are also said to be admirers of the France international, and according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, there have been 'internal talks' at Old Trafford over a move for the Frenchman.

Plettenberg claims that the English club's interim head coach Ralf Rangnick, who will take on a consultancy role at the end of the campaign, 'is a big fan' of the attacker.

Nkunku has scored 17 times and registered 14 assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances this season, while he netted seven times and provided two assists in the group stage of the Champions League.

A recent report claimed that Leipzig are attempting to sign the forward to a new contract with a view to keeping him at the club for another campaign.
