Manchester United eye Bundesliga star as Christopher Nkuku price-tag ‘skyrockets’

Manchester United will face a long wait to return to action following their Champions League exit.

Ralf Rangnick’s men were dumped out of Europe’s premier club competition by Atletico Madrid earlier this week, and a postponement this weekend means they are not back in action until after the international break.

Rangnick and his men will use the extra time between now and the internationals to right some wrongs on the training ground.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the United board may well use the time to sound out potential additions for the summer when they will want to significantly improve.

Here we round up all the latest transfer rumours surrounding Old Trafford.

Diaby links

United are said to have joined the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Moussa Diaby.

The 22-year-old has been excellent this season, scoring 16 times and assisting nine so far this season.

Diaby is attracting plenty of attention on the back of his fine form, and according to the Daily Mail, United, Arsenal and Newcastle have all expressed an interest in a £50million move.

Nkuku price tag

The Red Devils are also being linked with a move for RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku.

Nkuku has been on fire this season, scoring 26 times and assisting 15 so far this season across all competitions.

According to Sky Germany via SportWitness, United have shown an interest, and BILD have added that the cost of pulling off the transfer could now be as high as €75m, or even more.

Barca and Rashford

There were reports yesterday of Liverpool’s interest in Marcus Rashford, but it seems it is Barcelona who have made the first move.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Barca have made initial contact to find out whether Rashford could be an option this summer.

It follows reports from Fabrizio Romano that the forward is considering his options ahead of this summer.
