Source: Utd eye Nkunku as Chelsea mull Garnacho

Manchester United have asked to be kept informed of developments regarding Christopher Nkunku's future, a source has told ESPN, while Chelsea continue to weigh-up a formal move for Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho's future at Old Trafford is in doubt amid interest from Chelsea and Napoli. United's financial position means that, although they've been clear that they are not trying to force Garnacho out, they are willing to listen to offers.

A source has told ESPN that the 20-year-old's preference is to join Chelsea if he has to leave United.

Nkunku is open to leaving Stamford Bridge this month and has been the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. Chelsea would likely need a replacement if the Frenchman does leave and have been linked with Bayern striker Mathys Tel.

United looked at Nkunku during his spell at RB Leipzig. He moved to Chelsea in 2023 but has struggled with injuries.

He has scored 16 goals in 42 games for the Premier League side and has often been used as an understudy to Nicolas Jackson this season.

Most of Nkunku's minutes this season have come in the UEFA Conference League and he has started just three league games this term.

United have drawn up lists of targets for a number of positions, but their limited budget has meant viable options are restricted.

Signing a left wing-back is seen as a priority, sources have told ESPN, and discussions are ongoing around a deal for Lecce's Patrick Dorgu.

Antony, meanwhile, is set to seal a loan move to Real Betis until the end of the season. The Spanish side have indicated they will cover the majority of the Brazilian's wage, a source has told ESPN, which should give United greater flexibility with their finances in the final days of the January window
