United want to agree January deal for Chelsea star, dream partner for Fernandes

 

Manchester United could make a shock swoop for one of Chelsea’s best-performing players this season, according to French outlet L’Equipe.

The Red Devils have had a mixed start to the Premier League campaign. They are currently 13th in the table with 15 points but only four adrift of the top four.

The club have lacked the cutting edge in the final third in several games, and incoming manager Ruben Amorim could request an attacking acquisition in January.

The Portuguese has already ruled out the prospect of signing any Sporting CP stars, and Nkunku is reportedly on United’s radar.

Nkunku is frustrated with his current situation under Blues boss Enzo Maresca.

The Frenchman did not expect to play in the Europa Conference League and second fiddle in the Premier League. He is frustrated with his reduced minutes off the bench.

Nkunku has the ability to play anywhere in the attack, but Maresca prefers Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson in the league games.

With Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk also competing for playing time, the Blues could open the door for Nkunku’s winter exit.
