Ralf Rangnick transfer target Christopher Nkunku could be the face of Manchester United's new era

Since Ralf Rangnick took charge at Old Trafford, Manchester United have been tipped to sign a number of top Bundesliga players including Denis Zakaria and Amadou Haidara to name but two.

This season is looking like his best yet and in the summer, he'll have two years remaining on his contract, but
