Although he recently declared to Téléfoot that he was not considering leaving PSG this winter, Randal Kolo Muani still risks hosting the next January transfer window. His name is once again associated this Tuesday with Manchester United.
Since his two starts with the French team against Israel and Italy, Randal Kolo Muani has now played more with the Blues this season than with PSG. 427 minutes against 416. A statistic which says a lot about his precarious status at the club, where he is confined to a substitute role, with a few appearances from time to time.
If he assured Téléfoot on Sunday that he was not thinking of leaving PSG this winter, wanting to continue working and not giving up, numerous sources have raised in recent weeks the possibility that Kolo Muani will leave Paris during the transfer window. January. The player and the club would be on the same wavelength and a loan with an option to buy seems the most credible formula in the event of a winter departure.
Manchester United want Kolo Muani this winter
On November 3, Sky Germany mentioned several avenues in England for the former Frankfurt striker. No club was mentioned, but L'Equipe had mentioned an interest from Arsenal and Manchester United a few days earlier. This Tuesday, German journalist Christopher Michel, who covers Eintracht Frankfurt news for the site fussball.news, confirms Manchester United's interest in Kolo Muani.
The Mancunian club has had a very complicated start to the season with a worrying 13th place in the Premier League after 11 days. Erik ten Hag has just been dismissed and replaced by Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, who promised not to draw on Sporting CP this winter and therefore not to enlist Swedish goleador Viktor Gyökeres in January. The latter also announced that he would finish the season at Sporting CP.
A six-month loan in the pipeline?
According to Christopher Michel, Manchester United would therefore be thinking about Randal Kolo Muani this winter and should not be able to offer anything better than a loan (he does not mention a possible purchase option). In England, the Daily Telegraph confirms that INEOS wants to reduce costs at Manchester United and will not go crazy during the next transfer windows, the idea being that Amorim optimizes the current squad as best as possible.
However, adjustments are to be expected in January and Kolo Muani has an interesting profile for the 3-4-3 dear to Amorim. He had already played in this system of play in Frankfurt and has the versatility to play up front as well as on the right wing.
