MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly enquired about Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku.

The Red Devils could dip into the January transfer market following the arrival of new head coach Ruben Amorim.

And French outlet L’Equipe claims Nkunku could be at the top of their wishlist.

The 26-year-old is reportedly unhappy with his lack of game time at Chelsea.

Nkunku has started just one Premier League match for the Blues this season.

And manager Enzo Maresca is allegedly open to letting him leave.

The Frenchman has attracted interest from a number of clubs, including United.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea would allow him join a Prem rival.

Nkunku still has five years remaining on his contract with the Blues.

The forward joined Chelsea in a £52million transfer from RB Leipzig last June.

His first season at Stamford Bridge was marred by a series of injury problems.

Nkunku has now scored 13 goals in 31 Chelsea appearances – 10 of which have come this season.

Man Utd could sign him to replace Joshua Zirkzee, who has failed to impress at Old Trafford since joining in the summer.

SunSport revealed last week that ex-manager Erik ten Hag did not even want to sign him.
