Manchester United could replace Marcus Rashford with a player who has been compared with Thierry Henry. Rashford, 27, currently has representatives in Italy trying to thrash out a move to one of Serie A's giants in AC Milan. While all eyes are on the United academy product, there has not been as much attention paid to who could be coming the other way.
In recent weeks, Ruben Amorim's side have been linked with a loan move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani. The striker has endured a difficult time in the French capital since his whopping £76.4 million move from Eintracht Frankfurt. The 26-year-old, whose introduction off the bench inspired France's comeback in the 2022 World Cup final, has also been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus. Given his attributes as a 6'2" wide player who's transitioned into a central forward and is known for his dribbling ability like Arsenal legend Henry, it seems like he would be an excellent fit for United.
According to NBC Sports, if Amorim requests a replacement for Rashford, Kolo Muani will be high on the list. In the striker's one and only full season at Frankfurt, Kolo Muani contributed a staggering 15 goals and 14 assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances. As impressive as his goals and assists were, his versatility and ability to perform through the middle and on either flank made him an incredibly useful player.
