Manchester United 'may struggle to convince £54m-rated Christopher Nkunku to join them without the Champions League' with Arsenal and Inter Milan also plotting a summer move for the RB Leipzig star

Manchester United face a fight to convince RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku to join them this summer if they miss out on the Champions League, according to reports - with a host of other elite clubs interested in the £54m attacker.

Nkunku has enjoyed a superb breakout season in the Bundesliga after previously impressing with the team, and United, who are set to begin their rebuild under the inbound Erik ten Hag, have been keeping close tabs on him.

It is likely that he will move on in the next transfer window, too, and Sport Bild in Germany have claimed that United are interested but may struggle to tie him down.
