After a dismal loss to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, Manchester United secured consecutive victories against Rangers and Fulham in two distinct competitions.

Consequent to the outcome, they have ascended to the 12th position in the Premier League.
Simultaneously, Manchester United has been investigating the potential acquisition of several new players during the winter transfer window to assist Ruben Amorim in reconstructing the squad.
Lecce standout Patrick Dorgu is under consideration, and Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is also on Amorim’s agenda.
Caught Offside reports that Manchester United is eager to enhance their attacking options before next week’s deadline, citing the lacklustre performances of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund this season.
Nkunku was on the verge of transferring to Bayern Munich; however, that agreement has collapsed, making him amenable to negotiating a contract with Manchester United.
The Old Trafford club seeks to incorporate Alejandro Garnacho into this transaction to reduce the cost, and the Blues are keen on acquiring the South American’s services.
Chelsea seeks £70 million for Nkunku and is amenable to permitting his departure on a loan arrangement this season, with an obligation to finalise the transfer next summer.
Upon joining the West London club from RB Leipzig, Nkunku initially encountered injury issues and is currently out of favour under Enzo Maresca. Consequently, he want to depart in order to participate regularly in play.
The 27-year-old is adept at playing both the CAM and CF positions. He is a skilled player; nonetheless, his injury history is worrisome. Consequently, having already acquired an injury-prone player such as Mason Mount from Chelsea, United should avoid repeating this error.
Do you believe Amorim’s team should acquire Nkunku for Manchester United prior to the deadline?
