United to open Nkunku bidding
Manchester United will open the bidding for RB Leipzig's in-demand Christopher Nkunku with a £60m offer, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.
The Red Devils have long been tracking the 24-year-old, who has just completed a sensational season in Germany.
The forward struck 35 goals in all competitions, and weighed in with 20 assists too as Leipzig finished fourth in the Bundesliga.
Following the appointment of Erik ten Hag, the Premier League club are now ready to begin the business of overhauling their squad.
However, it has emerged in the past 24 hours that Chelsea are ready to rival United for the French international.

Bayern 'keeping eye' on Rashford
Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on Marcus Rashford's ongoing situation at Manchester United.
The English international endured a frustrating 2021-22 campaign, and had entertained the possibility of a move away from the hometown club that he joined as a seven-year-old.
The revelation earlier in the year had put a number of teams on red alert, and Bayern have maintained their interest despite the Red Devils' recent change in regime.
The Telegraph understand that Rashford now wishes to stay and fight for his place under new boss Erik ten Hag, but could a bid from the German giants be too much to ignore?

Good morning United fans
Villarreal star Pau Torres’ agents will travel to Manchester this week to negotiate a contract with United.
According to reports, the centre-back is one of the players up for grabs and is valued at just £45million.
Manchester United ace Anthony Martial is on his way back to Old Trafford after Sevilla rejected the chance to sign him.
Martial joined the Andalusians on loan during the January transfer window but he missed six games through injury, scored just one goal and was even jeered by his own fans in a miserable spell.
Chelsea are “ready to launch a bid” for RB Leipzig forward and United transfer target Christopher Nkunku, claim reports.
New manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo is part of his plans for next season.
Boss Ten Hag has also met with kitchen staff as he wants to look at weekly menus and choose what will stay or go, according to SunSport’s Daniel Cutts.
Ten Hag will speak to the groundsmen about daily training set-ups for drills ahead of pre-season as well.
The 52-year-old is a real stickler for detail, even down to the length of the grass on different pitches.

Man Utd's top Dec
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes West Ham star Declan Rice can be the "catalyst" and "lead the charge" for his former club's revival.
Ferdinand told the FIVE podcast: "It all depends on what Declan Rice wants to do with his career.
"If [he] wants to do a Mark Noble and stay at one club in the Premier League – Declan Rice will be the captain for the next 10 years if he wants. It’s there if he wants to do that
"But I don’t think Declan Rice is Mark Noble. Declan Rice is someone who sees himself going to a bigger club, with all due respect to West Ham, and going to fight for honours in the Premier League.
"You’ve got to ask Declan Rice a question; does he leave West Ham who are basically fighting Man Utd for the same position? If he does go to somewhere like United, [he could] be the catalyst for the next generation, for winning stuff, and you could lead that charge.
"But if you want to win trophies right at this moment, there is a big question over that"

Youri Tielemans boost
Manchester United may have been dealt a transfer blow in their bid to sign Leicester Youri Tielemans.

Darwin Nunez blow

The Uruguay international’s displays have also caught the attention of Arsenal

To the Max
Manchester United have been advised to sign Norwich ace Max Aarons by Rio Ferdinand.
Club legend Ferdinand believes Aarons would have a lot of longevity at United and would prove to be a clever investment.
Ferdinand told his Vibe with FIVE podcast: “Someone like Max Aarons you could put him like a Chris Smalling-type signing where they come in and they have an impact.
“They may not be straight starters immediately but they go and they stay there for 10 years and have a really good career and they impact the club at different levels”
