Manchester United have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani after the Paris Saint-Germain striker was made available for transfer. United have endured a mixed start under now boss Ruben Amorim, claiming a remarkable derby win against Manchester City last weekend, but also dropping points to Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest.

But with the January transfer window opening shortly, United way well look to bring in some fresh bodies to aid Amorim’s transition to a new-look team and formation. Increased depth in the wing-back position is a possibility, but the Red Devils are also keen to add more firepower in attacking positions.
Kolo Muani, who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt for €75m (£64.2m) plus €15m (£12.2m) in add-ons in 2023, is seen as a primary target who the club could attract in January. The French international has struggled since his move to Ligue 1, scoring just 11 goals in 54 appearances and was most recently left out of the Parisien club’s matchday squad for their Ligue 1 fixture with Monaco.
‘I could speak about it, but I won’t because my decisions say it all, even if, as I have said, all of my decisions can be changed,’ Luis Enrique recently said when asked about Kolo Muani’s future with the club. According to French publication L’Equipe, RB Leipzig are also interested in a potential deal, with PSG happy to sanction a move next month.
