Christopher Nkunku makes decision on future as Man Utd and Chelsea learn release clause

Manchester United and Chelsea have been dealt a huge blow to their hopes of signing Christopher Nkunku as the Frenchman has signed a new contract at RB Leipzig - although the prospect of a deal is not quite yet dead.

The forward, 24, was linked with a switch to Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge this summer after a sensational season. He scored 35 goals in all competitions for Leipzig last term while also providing 19 assists.

Despite rumours that he could leave, Nkunku has elected to extend his stay in Germany by penning a new deal which is set to run until the summer of 2026.
