Man United 'plot move for PSG star but face competition from Premier League rival'... as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster squad with further signings
Manchester United are interested in Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani, according to a report. Kolo Muani joined the French side from Eintracht Frankfurt for £76million in 2023 but struggled for regular playing time. The 26-year-old moved to Juventus on loan in January and thrived in Italy with 10 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions. United showed interest in the forward back in the summer of 2023, but ultimately opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund instead. The Red Devils have now reignited their interest as they seek to keep strengthening their attack, according to Tuttosport. However, they face competition from Newcastle, who are also in the market for a striker after missing out on Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool. The outlet also states that PSG are demanding an £8.6m loan fee with an obligation to buy for £26m - fees which are out of Juventus' reach. Ruben Amorim's squad is set to be strengthened once again with the imminent arrival of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, after United agreed a £71m deal for the Cameroonian forward. It follows the £62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves earlier in the summer, with the club keen to address their attacking woes after registering just 44 goals last season - their lowest ever tally in Premier League history. However, United look set for a major attacking overhaul of their own, with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony all expected to leave the club. United are eyeing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson as a potential addition, but the Blues are in no rush to sell and have slapped a staggering £100m price tag on the 23-year-old. To finance any move, United would need to offload several high-profile names. Garnacho is attracting interest from Aston Villa and Chelsea, while Marcus Rashford is closing in on a season-long loan switch to Barcelona.

Manchester United and Newcastle Eye Move for PSG Forward
Randal Kolo Muani: Europe's Most Wanted No.9 Juventus Spell Sparks Transfer Frenzy When a striker thrives in Turin, clubs take notice. Randal Kolo Muani's loan stint at Juventus was not just productive, it was transformative. Having previously been on the fringes of wider acclaim, the 26-year-old France international has turned heads across the continent. FootMercato reports that Manchester United and Newcastle United are circling the Paris Saint-Germain forward, with Juventus determined to make his stay permanent. 'Randal Kolo Muani is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after strikers of this summer transfer window,' states the original report, and that is no exaggeration. His eight goals in 19 appearances for Juve, including a dazzling burst of five in just three matches, came under two tactically distinct managers in Thiago Motta and Igor Tudor. That ability to adapt is not lost on the suitors. In a side not known for flamboyance, Kolo Muani brought vision, movement, and an almost intuitive feel for attacking rhythm. 'Decisive, mobile, and involved in the game like few strikers can be,' FootMercato adds. His touch, intelligence, and selflessness earned plaudits not just from the media, but from inside the dressing room. Juventus fans didn't just enjoy his contribution, they began to believe again. Photo IMAGO Manchester United and Newcastle in Pole Position Interest from Premier League powerhouses feels inevitable. According to FootMercato, 'Randal Kolo Muani is currently in the sights of Europe's biggest clubs, including two Premier League heavyweights: Manchester United and Newcastle.' United's pursuit intensified after Hugo Ekitike reportedly declined their approach, leaving Kolo Muani as their next marquee option to fill the number 9 shirt. At Newcastle, contingency planning is under way as rumours around Alexander Isak's potential move to Saudi Arabia persist. Kolo Muani's name has entered that discussion, with the report stating that 'the Magpies have made contacts around Kolo Muani, convinced that his well-rounded profile and international experience would make him a key part of the project.' Both clubs are right to be keen. Few strikers blend technical finesse with physical prowess quite like him. In an era when centre-forwards are often either rigid focal points or drifting creators, Kolo Muani operates with fluidity and conviction in both roles. Versatility Fuels Demand What separates Kolo Muani from the glut of available forwards this summer is the completeness of his game. 'Fast, technical, and intelligent in his movements,' says FootMercato, 'he is capable of making a team shine while remaining decisive in the penalty area.' That duality is rare and valuable. His composure in big games stood out during Juventus' late-season push, with FootMercato noting he 'finished the season with a total of eight goals in nineteen matches.' His off-ball work was just as crucial, linking play and occupying defenders with clever runs and persistent pressing. For PSG, his parent club, this is both a dilemma and an opportunity. The Ligue 1 champions may well seek to cash in on a forward who fits the 'modern nine' mould, especially as they reshape their attack post-Mbappé. Meanwhile, Juventus are 'doing everything to convince him that the Turin project is made for him.' Their desire is matched only by the growing clamour around Europe. All Eyes on His Next Move As the article rightly observes, 'every move around him is closely scrutinised.' Randal Kolo Muani has become the thinking man's striker, a blend of muscle and mind, purpose and patience. The kind of player who fits seamlessly into elite systems without losing his individuality. From Nantes to PSG and now Juventus, his trajectory has been steadily upward. This summer, the next step could define his legacy. One thing is clear. Europe's major clubs don't just want a goal scorer. They want a player who elevates those around him. Randal Kolo Muani ticks every box. Our View – EPL Index Analysis Randal Kolo Muani to Old Trafford? Yes please. This is exactly the type of signing we've needed since prime Cavani. Strong, intelligent, and unselfish, he's the kind of player who could elevate Rasmus Højlund and take pressure off Bruno Fernandes. After missing out on Ekitike, this is a chance to bring in someone with proven Serie A quality and Champions League experience. Let's not underestimate how hard it is to come into a Juventus side mid-season, under two different managers, and still score eight in 19. Five in three near the end? That's clutch. Imagine him with Antony and Garnacho supplying him. It feels like Kolo Muani fits the Ten Hag system perfectly, offering mobility, strength, and teamwork. He's not flashy for the sake of it, but effective and reliable. We need someone who performs in big matches. FootMercato says, 'His impact in big matches, his consistency, and his sense of teamwork have been praised,' and that's what wins titles. Just hope we don't get priced out or beaten to him by Newcastle or Juve. This is one we need to be bold about.

Paris Saint-Germain spent £76.4 million to sign the prolific attacker from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

The French outlet claim that Juve are 'doing everything' they can to extend Kolo Muani's stay in Turin but they face competition from United and Newcastle United. It is understood the Red Devils have already 'initiated contacts' to explore the possibility of signing the France international. Randal Kolo Muani could replace Marcus Rashford at Manchester United United have allegedly identified Kolo Muani as a 'priority target' for the number nine role, having missed out on Hugo Ekitike, who is nearing a move to Liverpool. The PSG star mainly thrives as a centre-forward, but he is also capable of playing on both flanks. Before the pair fell out, Amorim deployed Rashford as a striker, making good use of his pace and direct dribbling. Not only does Kolo Muani possess similar traits, but he is also very consistent and aggressive in his press. Feature image Mike Hewitt via Getty Images Follow us on Bluesky: @
