In a recent article on X, the football journalist Mercato, Santi Aouna, said that Manchester United was locked in a three-way battle for Paris Saint-Germain Randal Kolo Muani. It was said that the Red Devils are faced with competition in the form of Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur in the French striker’s race this summer.
Kolo Muani had a solid loan spell for Juventus last season when he made a series of impressive screens for them in the last third. The 26 -year -old scored ten goals and collected three assists in 22 games for the Turin Club in the previous campaign in all competitions.
The French international led the line for Juve at the top while he had an average of 1.94 shots per 90 minutes in football in Serie A. He kept 52% of his attempts on the target. Kolo Munai was a little disorderly during the distribution of the ball in the last third after having made only 69.9% of his passing attempts in the higher level of Italian football (statistics via Fbref.com).
His current contract at the Ligue 1 club will expire in the summer of 2028. Thus, Man United has no choice but to respond to the requests of the French club if they want to sign Kolo Muani this deads.

Kolo Muani is competent to find a yard of space for himself to obtain strikes to the goal. He can be a decent finisher in the last third when he plays confidence in the field.
The French striker can even create strange luck for others around him in and around the opponent’s penalty surface. However, he might need time to adapt to the Premier League life if the Red Devils can find a way to win the race for his services.
Kolo Muani would bring more goals and depth to the front line of the boss of Man United Ruben Amorim. He has what it takes to fight for regular football of the first team at Old Trafford.
At 26, Kolo Muani has his peak years in front of him, which makes him an excellent choice for the Mancunian club to consider in this transfer window. He could even help the Mancunian club come back to a challenge for a European place in the Premier League next season.
