'I see Ronaldinho in him' - Manchester United fans agree on Christopher Nkunku after masterclass

Manchester United fans are in full agreement about Christopher Nkunku after yet another brilliant performance for RB Leipzig at the weekend.

After scoring in the Bundesliga club's Europa League semi-final defeat to Rangers on Thursday, Nkunku returned to the scoresheet in blistering fashion against Augsburg. The Frenchman scored twice in their 4-0 victory, a result which keeps them in the top four.

Post-match, Nkunku thanked the Leipzig fans for their support. He posted on Instagram : "Important success and a great way to thank you for your fantastic support this season."

Nkunku's record this season has been scintillating. He has scored 34 goals and grabbed 20 assists in just 50 matches.

At 24, he has already ensured that he is a pivotal member of the RB Leipzig squad and has been linked with a move to the Premier League. Alongside United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have all been rumoured to be pursuing the France international, and it's clear United fans are desperate for their club to win the race for his signature.
