Man Utd signs an “unstoppable” $52 million in negotiations, he ranks 99th percentile in key STAT

United are now negotiating to sign an “unstoppable” player, Laurie Whitwell revealed in a track and field report.

Man Utd’s forward hunting heat

Man United has confirmed the arrival of Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo’s deal appears to be close to completion, meaning Ruben Amorim’s next task may be to secure the signature of the new striker.

The Ineos’ shortlist has many exciting options, many of whom were prolific ahead of last season’s goals, and while United missed Champions League qualification, some price tags could be a problem.

In a report on track and field, Whitwell now brings new latest news about Man United’s pursuit of a new forward, saying Ekitike is out of their price range, and Naples’ Victor Osimhen’s deal could be tricky given the high salary of the Nigerians.

Amorim wants to seal the party with Gyokeres, but Swedish International is prioritizing moving to Arsenal, meaning the Red Devils may be forced to push for other goals, and they are now negotiating for Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku.

Nkunku’s name is said to have been discussed in negotiations about Alejandro Garnacho’s departure, who recently wore an Aston Villa shirt with Marcus Rashford’s name on his back and didn’t help himself.

Probably, Nkunku is more affordable than Ekitike, initially signed Chelsea for £52m in 2023.

“Unstoppable” Nkuku may need to leave Chelsea this summer

The Frenchman often had a hard time finding game time last season, and the seemingly upcoming Joao Pedro’s arrival is likely to be effortless, so he’ll likely need to leave the Blues this summer for his career.

There are some signs that the 27-year-old can also solve the solution to Manchester United’s offensive problems, and journalist Zach Lowy received high praise during his time with RB Leipzig.

The former Leipzig man is also a solid all-around player, ranking the highest in interception rates and his 90 pass completion rates over the past year compared to other strikers.

That said, Nkunku’s record before the goal is likely to be the main reason for the attention, with the striker in the Premier League last season only finding the back of the net three times, so the moves of Gyokerers or Toney would make more sense.
