<p>Amorim has been tasked with revitalising the Red Devils after he replaced Erik ten Hag as head coach. United have already been linked with a number of players, including Amorim's former <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruben-amorim-raid-man-utd-plot-new-bid-teen-sensation-geovany-quenda-sporting-cp/blt5fc7195db9e62c5a" target="_blank">Sporting CP stars Geovany Quenda</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bad-news-man-utd-viktor-gyokeres-january-transfer-plan-ruben-amorim-reunion-sporting-cp/blt0d88aa4bdb4c9902" target="_blank">Viktor Gyokeres</a>.</p>

He has an identity and he wants intelligent players – Christopher Nkunku is one of those," Petit told <a href="https://www.casinohawks.com/"><em>Casino Hawks</em></a>. "In terms of how he links up with strikers and wingers, he could have a big impact at Old Trafford if Chelsea decide to sell. Looking at the dressing room at Manchester United, he could make a big difference."</p>

WHAT PETIT SAID

<p>Nkunku, 27, played the full 90 minutes as France beat Italy 3-1 in the Nations League on Sunday and will likely be involved as Chelsea meet Leicester in the Premier League on Saturday.</p>
