Ruben Amorim is hopeful that Manchester United will secure the services of 26-year-old PSG flop Randal Kolo Muani, a target for Arsenal and Chelsea.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Randal Kolo Muani is the subject of interest from Manchester United. Ruben Amorim hopes to have the Paris Saint-Germain attacker at his disposal next month. However, the Red Devils face stiff competition from fellow Premier League clubs Arsenal and Chelsea for the 26-year-old forward.
Randal Kolo Muani and PSG plight
Randal Kolo Muani has seen his progress come to a grinding halt since joining Paris Saint-Germain from Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023. The Frenchman was among the most productive attackers in Europe before returning to his homeland 15 months ago.
The 26-year-old struggled to make his mark in his debut season with PSG and has fallen in stature in the first few months of the 2024/25 season. Kolo Muani has managed only 453 minutes of game time across 14 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with two goals and one assist. However, the player’s stock in the market is high, with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United among his prospective suitors.
A man in demand
Arsenal will likely delve into the market for a versatile attacker in the January transfer window after losing Bukayo Saka to a long-term hamstring injury. So, the French international has emerged as a viable target, with the Gunners ready to intensify their efforts to secure his services.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Randal Kolo Muani is understandable. The Blues were keen on signing a striker in the summer transfer window before a late move for Victor Osimhen failed to see the light of day. So, the PSG flop has emerged as an option worth considering for the West London club.
As for Manchester United, Kolo Muani has emerged as a target amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim is optimistic that Manchester United will beat Arsenal and Chelsea to the Frenchman’s signature.
PSG will likely sanction a loan exit for the 26-year-old flop, considering they might recoup a higher sum in the summer transfer window. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards for the French international amid his links with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
