Joining Manchester United might be ideal for him. They need more depth in the attacking unit and signing him for \u00a335 million is a wise acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>He can operate anywhere across the front 3, adding creativity to the sides. French International scored 18 goals for Chelsea in 60 appearances and also five assists. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summer_movements_are_ideal_for_both_clubs\"><\/span>Summer movements are ideal for both clubs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Nkunku&#8217;s departure from the London club will raise funds for Chelsea to improve their team.

Signing the right players is important to them.<\/p>\n<p>As for Manchester United, their height clubs should be fighting towards the top of the table. They finished last season at the bottom half of the table. Players like Nkunku help them bounce back. If he could regain his shape and confidence, he could have transformed Manchester United with his offense. <\/p>\n<p>He has previously demonstrated his abilities in France and Germany. There is no doubt that he could become a star for Manchester United in the UK. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United manager Reuben Amorim is yelling instructions from players.
