Manchester United invested in a new striker over the summer but continue to be linked with other goalscorers ahead of the summer transfer window.
Manchester United had to add another striker over the summer with Rasmus Hojlund needing some support in the final third.
United paid £36million to sign Joshua Zirkzee, bringing the Dutch forward to Old Trafford after impressing at Bologna.
The former Bayern Munich forward showed plenty of quality in Italy but wasn’t a prolific goalscorer, bagging just 13 goals in 53 Serie A games.
United have encountered similar problems with Zirkzee so far this season; he has scored just once in all competitions.
One Italian pundit has predicted a swap involving Zirkzee and Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and other strikers have been mentioned.
Randal Kolo Muani available again
United fans have fallen in love with Viktor Gyokeres and are dreaming of his arrival after United appointed Ruben Amorim as the new head coach.
A rather familiar name has now become available though with Randal Kolo Muani potentially leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
United were negotiating to sign Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 but ended up signing Rasmus Hojlund instead.
Kolo Muani met with Erik ten Hag to discuss a transfer but United chose to avoid a deal, paving the way for Kolo Muani to join Paris Saint-Germain instead.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg now claims that both PSG and Kolo Muani are open to a January loan move.
Kolo Muani has ‘several’ loan requests from the Premier League, meaning United could feasibly pounce to sign him once and for all.
L’Equipe note that PSG want to move Kolo Muani on in January but that may be difficult given his significant wages in the French capital.
Manchester United should think twice about Kolo Muani
L’Equipe reported in October that United and Arsenal are both interested in signing Kolo Muani in January.
We can understand United looking into other strikers, especially on loan, with Zirkzee struggling for goals.
Kolo Muani only scored nine goals in 40 appearances last season and two in 10 games this season, bringing his PSG record out to 11 goals in 50 games.
That is no improvement on Zirkzee’s record in Italy despite Ligue 1 arguably being a lower standard than Serie A.
PSG forked out £76.4million for Kolo Muani according to BBC Sport and the move simply hasn’t worked out.
The 25-year-old is now available but having failed to prove is quality after a big move, United should probably look elsewhere for a new forward.
