Manchester United are ready to make an offer for RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.

United have been keeping tabs on the 24-year-old, who was named as the Bundesliga Player of the Season earlier this week, ahead of Erik ten Hag's arrival.

Now that the new United manager is firmly in place, the club are said to be ready to make a formal offer for the Leipzig star.

Sky Deutschland says Nkunku's representatives are 'in contact' with Manchester United over a potential deal this summer.

United are said to be leading the race to sign the 24-year-old and an offer is 'to be expected next week'.

However, Nkunku, who has a staggering 54 goals contributions in 50 games across all competitions this season, is contracted at the club until 2024.
