Manchester United are very interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani this summer, according to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.
The Red Devils are expected to pursue a marquee striker in the next transfer window and they have been linked with multiple names including Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.
It is now reported by Hawkins that United are ‘very interested’ in a summer deal for Kolo Muani but they are not alone with Bayern Munich also exploring a potential transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain are also among his admirers but Victor Osimhen seems to be their top priority.
Randal Kolo Muani would be a perfect fit for Man Utd
Muani has been a revelation since joining Frankfurt on a free transfer last summer.
He started the campaign with a string of assists for the German outfit. He was described as the ‘assist king‘ by Bundesliga’s official website before the World Cup.
Since the restart, the Frenchman has been a regular contributor of goals. Overall, he has accumulated 20 goals and 14 assists from 40 games for Frankfurt this term.
In our opinion, Muani would be the perfect striker acquisition for United. He has excelled with his hold-up play and high pressing this season while winning a stunning 6.8 duels per game.
These are attributes that Ten Hag prefers in his main striker. Muani would be a clear upgrade on Anthony Martial and could help United close the gap on the title contenders.
Kane is also on the club’s radar heading into the summer but investing £88 million on Muani would make better sense as he is just entering the prime of his playing career.
