According to an Italian media Tuttojuve, manchester united have made an approach to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani as they look to replace Joshua Zirkzee.
The Red Devils have had a disappointing campaign in the first division and they currently occupy 14th place in the table with only 22 points on the board. The club has struggled in the attacking department and needs more goals in the second half of the campaign to climb the table and fight for possible European qualification.
A new striker could be the objective during the winter transfer window and Tuttojuve They claim Muani could make it to the Premier League after falling out of favor with PSG manager Luis Enrique. Manchester United have approached to try to sign the Frenchman and it remains to be seen if they will be able to complete a deal with PSG.
loan agreement
United spent £36.5m to sign Zirkzee from Bologna last summer but his performances have been disappointing. The Dutchman has not been able to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League and was recently replaced Newcastle UnitedEdit after only 33 minutes on the clock. Zirkzee initially showed frustration as he walked straight through the Old Trafford tunnel.
The Dutchman returned to the bench shortly after, but there are major doubts over whether he has a future at United under Ruben Amorim. It has been suggested that Zirkzee will return to Serie A in recent months and Juventus are already exploring the option of signing him on loan with the option to purchase at the end of the campaign.
If Zirkzee were to leave on loan, United could consider a similar type of deal for Kolo Muani. The Frenchman was one of the most sought-after forwards during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, but his reputation has plummeted at PSG, where he has barely been a starter. He is now considered surplus to requirements under Henry.
United could propose a temporary deal for Muani with a buyout clause for next summer. This would be a risk-free solution for the Red Devils as they can judge whether the £26 million The striker can adapt to the intensity of the Premier League and Amorim's tactical formation.
