Christopher Nkunku is one of the most in-demand players currently plying his trade in the Bundesliga and RB Leipzig are desperate to keep the 24-year-old at the club.
Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has identified the France youth talent as a player that could add strength to what is a struggling midfield at Old Trafford.
Though Rangnick is unlikely to be in the hot-seat come the start of next season, he will be at the start of his two-year consultancy role in the boardroom and could use his past links with Leipzig to try and broker a deal.
