RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku has been warned that moving to Manchester United during the upcoming transfer window might cost him his promising career. Nkunku has been earmarked as a target for United under Erik ten Hag after his stand-out performances in the Bundesliga this season.
The 24-year-old has scored 30 goals and provided 19 assists from 45 matches in all competitions. His blistering form has put United and other potential suitors on red alert.
After showing interest in Jadon Sancho for a number of years, United finally sealed a £72.9million transfer for him last summer. However, while the club themselves are being urged to utilise the Sancho saga as caution for future deals, ex United defender Paul Parker believes emulating Sancho shouldn't be the target for a player like Nkunku.

Speaking to bettingexpert, Parker said: "The problem you have got there is that Manchester United went and got Sancho, who showed good form and good stats while at Dortmund. He's moved into a little bit more of a high-pressure league.
"But there should be something there and it's not materialising. He chose the right team at the wrong time.
"Will it be the right choice for him [Nkunku] to come in there and put everything he's earned over in Germany to come and play in the Premier League for Manchester United? I'm not highly recommending to go there at this moment in time, because it could cost you your career."
