BREAKING: Christopher Nkunku FINALLY spotted at Old Trafford signing AUTOGRAPH for United fans as His deal to Man united set to be Completed TODAY
Following a dismal setback against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, Manchester United have won back-to-back games against Rangers and Fulham in two separate tournaments.
The Red Devils were promising versus the Scottish squad but were ordinary vs the Cottagers last night. Thankfully, they won the match courtesy to Lisandro Martinez’s sole goal.
Following the result, they have pushed up to the 12th slot in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Man Utd have been examining the prospect of adding a few new players in this winter window to assist Ruben Amorim rebuild the squad.
Lecce star Patrick Dorgu is on their radar, meanwhile, Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is on Amorim’s wish-list as well.
Caught Offside suggest that Man Utd are intent on reinforcing the frontline before next week’s deadline following Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund’s disappointing efforts thus far this season.
Nkunku was close to joining Bayern Munich but that deal has gone through therefore he is now ready to settling on a contract to join Man Utd.
The Old Trafford team are hoping to add Alejandro Garnacho in this deal to lessen the price and the Blues are eager in acquiring the South American’s service.
Chelsea want £70m for Nkunku and they are willing to allowing him depart on a loan deal in this window with an obligation to make the transfer permanent next summer.
Following his transfer from RB Leipzig to the West London club, Nkunku originally suffered with injury issues. However, he has since found himself out of favour under the direction of Enzo Maresca throughout his time with the club. As a result, he desires to go out and play on a daily basis.
Despite being 27 years old, the individual is able to perform well in both the CAM job and the CF position. Because United has already signed an injury-prone player like Mason Mount from the Blues, they should avoid making the same error once again. Although he is a brilliant player, his injury record is troubling. Accordingly, United should avoid making the same mistake again.
If Amorim’s team were to employ Nkunku for Manchester United before the deadline, what are your thoughts on the matter?
