United's pursuit was given a boost when it was reported that the France international was open to a Premier League switch.
However, the Red Devils were dealt a huge blow when Leipzig's director Oliver Mintzlaff insisted the club had no intention of letting Nkunku leave this summer.
But United fans desperately want the Old Trafford outfit to pull out all the stops to get Nkunku to Manchester, reported by

And one supporter who believes Nkunku will provide a solution to the club's problems next season, : "@ManUtd here is our man."
While a third Red Devils loyalist : "Think he'd be perfect for us."
However, United's hands may be tied in the matter as Nkunku's contract with Leipzig expires in 2024.
And reports claim even an offer of €100million (£84.4m) might not be enough to convince the German outfit to do business.
Plus, United will also have to fend off interest from Chelsea who have got eyes on Nkunku aswell.
But's it not all doom and gloom for United if they don't manage to bag Nkunku.
Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong is set to become a United player in the coming weeks after his transfer was seemingly sanctioned by Blaugrana boss Xavi.
And he could be joined in the middle of the park by Wolves fan favourite Ruben Neves, who is said to be at the top of new United boss Erik ten Hag's wishlist.
If both transfers are completed, the pair will front a new-look United midfield as current talisman Paul Pogba is on the verge of re-joining Juventus on a free transfer.
