Manchester United’s transfer business is beginning to take shape as the club continues to back Ruben Amorim ahead of a critical campaign.
With Matheus Cunha already through the door and talks progressing over Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, United’s intentions to strengthen their frontline are no secret.
The club is looking to add at least two new attackers before the Premier League kicks off, with a blockbuster opener against Arsenal awaiting in August.

Behind the scenes, United’s recruitment team, now under the strategic guidance of Christopher Vivell, has been actively pursuing options across Europe.
Now, according to L’Equipe, Manchester United have made contact with the entourage of Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, opening exploratory discussions over a potential deal.
Christopher Nkunku, 27, is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2029 but is reportedly open to leaving the club after a frustrating debut season in England.
The French international, capped 14 times by Les Bleus, struggled with injuries and inconsistent playing time at Chelsea, leading to growing speculation about his future.
Although United have not yet submitted a formal offer, they are understood to have enquired about the conditions of a possible transfer in recent days.

The move would not be straightforward, given Chelsea’s significant investment in Nkunku last summer, but the player’s willingness to move could be a decisive factor.
Nkunku is one of several attacking options being tracked by United, alongside Brentford’s Mbeumo and other forward-thinking profiles that fit Amorim’s tactical style.
For now, no negotiations have begun, but Nkunku’s name remains active in United’s internal discussions, and the situation could develop quickly depending on Chelsea’s stance.
If a deal is pursued, it would mark another bold statement of intent from Manchester United — one that could reignite Nkunku’s career and add a creative spark to the squad.
