Manchester United have opened negotiations with Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku over a potential summer transfer, as the French international struggles for playing time at Stamford Bridge.
According to L'Equipe, the Red Devils have initiated preliminary discussions with Nkunku's representatives, though no formal offer has been submitted to Chelsea yet.
Nkunku has found himself on the periphery under manager Enzo Maresca's system at Chelsea. Despite appearing in 33 Premier League fixtures last season, the forward started just nine matches and accumulated only 910 minutes of playing time in the league.
United's Attacking Reinforcements
The potential move for Nkunku comes as Manchester United continue to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season. The club has already secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves and is reportedly exploring multiple forward options to bolster their squad.
Beyond Nkunku, United are also maintaining contact with Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo as they look to provide more firepower for their frontline.
The move would represent a significant shift for Nkunku, who joined Chelsea with high expectations but has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter in the Premier League.
Should the transfer materialize, it would add another chapter to the growing list of players who have moved between the two Premier League rivals in recent years.
