Man Utd handed chance to move for star Ralf Rangnick was amazed they didn't scout

RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku is reportedly looking to leave the club this summer after an incredible campaign which may give Manchester United a lifeline in their pursuit of the forward.

Ralf Rangnick is a huge fan of the Frenchman but was left baffled by the lack of information on offer at Old Trafford in terms of his profile. The German was furious that Nkunku had been overlooked by the scouting department and changes ahve already been made to the department ahead of Erik ten Hag's arrival.

The Red Devils have turned their attention towards Nkunku after a sensational campaign with RB Leipzig where he has been incredible in front of goal. In 49 appearances in all competitions, the Frenchman has scored 32 times and assisted 20. What has also impressed the long list of clubs interested across the continent is his versatility. The 24-year-old has played up front, in attacking midfield and on either flank in a fluid system at Leipzig under current boss Dominic Tedesco.
