Manchester United’s transfer business is far from over as the Reds look to bring in more attacking reinforcements before the 2025/26 season kicks off.
After a disastrous campaign under Ruben Amorim, which saw United finish 15th in the Premier League and miss out on all European competition, Ineos have promised a more decisive and strategic approach in the transfer market.
While Matheus Cunha has already arrived and the club continues to negotiate for Bryan Mbeumo, there remains room for another versatile forward — especially one with experience in Europe’s top competitions.

Chelsea’s bloated squad and continued need to comply with PSR regulations could lead to more high-profile departures this window — and Manchester United are keeping a close eye on the situation.
That brings us to Christopher Nkunku, the French forward once linked to United prior to his move to Chelsea, and now reportedly back on the radar at Old Trafford.
According to The Athletic, Bayern Munich have revived their interest in Christopher Nkunku after failing to land several of their top attacking targets, including Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams.
The Bundesliga champions are huge admirers of Nkunku, who starred for RB Leipzig before joining Chelsea.
Bayern view the 27-year-old as a priority once again — but they aren’t alone.

Manchester United are still monitoring the situation and retain an interest in Nkunku, having tracked him closely during his time in the Bundesliga.
The player is seen as a perfect fit for Amorim’s front line, with the ability to play across multiple attacking roles.
Chelsea are said to want a permanent deal if Nkunku is to leave Stamford Bridge, and reportedly placed a £65million price tag on him back in January.
That valuation may come down as the window progresses, especially with Bayern pushing and Chelsea needing to trim their squad.
Nkunku’s time at Chelsea has been disrupted by injury, but his quality is not in doubt — and United could yet swoop if Bayern fail to close.
With United focused on smart, strategic signings rather than overpriced names, this could be one to watch in the coming weeks.
