Manchester United have been linked with a move for the French international striker Randal Kolo Muani in recent weeks.
According to L’Equipe, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are now the favourites to sign Randal Kolo Muani this summer. Although the French international is valued at €100 million, a deal could be done for around €60-70 million.
It is no secret that Manchester United need to bring in a quality goalscorer, and Kolo Muani would be a superb long-term investment. The 24-year-old could share the goal-scoring burden with Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford next season.
The England international carried the Manchester United attack all by himself this past season and needs more support and help if Manchester United are to compete for the league title and the UEFA Champions League.
Kolo Muani has been in sensational form for Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 23 goals and picking up 17 assists across all competitions. The striker will be looking to join a big club this summer. And the opportunity to play for Manchester United can be hard to turn down.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat the competition from Bayern Munich and secure his signature. The opportunity to stay in Germany and play in his comfort zone could also be an attractive option for the player.
However, Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world with the finances to compete for major trophies. Furthermore, the attraction of playing in the Premier League could prove to be tempting for the French international.
The reported €60-70 million fee could prove to be a bargain for the striker in the long run if he manages to fulfil his potential and settle into the Premier League quickly. The striker is still only 24 and is likely to improve with coaching and experience.
In addition to that, the French attacker can play as a centre forward as well as a wide forward on both flanks. His versatility will be an added bonus for the Red Devils and Erik ten Hag. Manchester United must do everything in their power to sign the player this summer. Kolo Muani is more than just a goalscorer and has the attributes to develop into a complete forward in the coming seasons.
