manchester united They are supposedly in a battle with Arsenal on a deal to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Randal Kolo Muani, according to Caught offside.
The Red Devils have been struggling with their centre-forward position of late, as Rasmus Hojlund has not been able to show the best of himself in the first division after moving to Old Trafford from Atalanta last year.
New summer signing Joshua Zirkzee has had a difficult start to life in the English top flight. Because of this, United have found it difficult to score goals so far this season.
New Manchester United boss Rubén Amorim tried Mark Rashford in the striker position against Ipswich Town to address the number nine issue and the Englishman even made an exceptional start to the game by scoring the first goal early in the game.
However, his overall performance was not convincing enough and United also struggled. Amorim ultimately had to settle for a 1-1 draw in his first match as Red Devils boss.
Battle
So, it seems Man Utd started exploring options to strengthen the striker position in January to help Amorim turn things around in the second half of this season.
Caught offside reports that Man Utd are interested in Kolo Muani and could make a concrete approach to securing his service in the upcoming winter window.
However, buying the player will not be easy for record Premier League champions Arsenal and Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also in this race. The north London club is even willing to start talks on this deal to overtake Man Utd and Newcastle in this race.
The player has a contract until 2028 with Les Parisiens and is valued at around £33 million per Transfer market. Therefore, signing him in January might not be cheap for Man Utd or Arsenal.
Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus They are the two forwards the Gunners currently have, but neither has been prolific enough so far this season, as the Brazilian has yet to open his Premier League account and champions league this term.
Arsenal would therefore do well to sign a new striker in January to boost their title push in the second half of this campaign.
But Kolo Muani has had a disappointing time at the Parc des Princes of late, so spending big to secure his signature would be a big gamble.
