Nkunku has been in and out of the starting XI throughout the season so far. He has netted 13 goals and provided four assists in 28 games so far. He is averaging 1 shot, 0.6 key passes, and 0.3 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

The French attacker is versatile enough to play at different positions in the offensive line. He is known for his pace, effective dribbling skills, and excellent close control. He also provides key passes and finishing touches.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils have also expressed interest in Christopher Nkunku. It seems like the 27-year-old is open to leaving the Blues this winter and the Old Trafford could be his next destiny if all the parties agree to work on a deal.
