Nkunku, despite injury struggles, remains an integral part of Chelsea’s plans. Meanwhile, Højlund is seen as a key part of United’s future, having shown great promise in his debut season. The idea of a player publicly dictating a club’s transfer strategy, especially one as specific as forcing out a rising talent like Højlund, does not align with professional football norms.
At this stage, there are no credible reports suggesting Nkunku is leaving Chelsea, let alone setting conditions for a move to Manchester United.
