Man Utd Eye Randal Kolo Muani as Potential Zirkzee Replacement
Manchester United are reportedly targeting Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani as a potential replacement for Joshua Zirkzee, according to Italian outlet Tuttojuve. The club, currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League with just 22 points, have struggled with their attack and are looking to strengthen their squad in the upcoming winter transfer window to help improve their position and push for European qualification.
Muani, who has fallen out of favor with PSG manager Luis Enrique, could be a key addition to United’s struggling forward line. The French striker, who impressed during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, has found his opportunities limited at PSG, where he has barely started matches this season.
While the details of the potential deal remain unclear, Manchester United are said to be exploring the possibility of a loan move for Muani, potentially with an option to buy at the end of the season. This approach would allow the Red Devils to assess whether the £26 million-rated forward can adjust to the intensity of Premier League football and fit into manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical system. Muani could complement Rasmus Højlund in attack, providing additional depth for United’s struggling offensive line.
Meanwhile, Zirkzee, who was brought in from Bologna for £36.5 million last summer, has failed to make an impact in England. The Dutch forward’s lackluster performances, including an early substitution against Newcastle United, have raised doubts about his future at the club. Reports suggest Juventus are considering a loan move for Zirkzee, which could pave the way for United to explore similar loan arrangements for Muani.
