Manchester United are allegedly unlikely to sign Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt in the January transfer window.

That’s according to claims from Fabrizio Romano who suggests that Frankfurt are now demanding a whopping €70 million (£62 million) for the 24-year-old forward.

It was claimed yesterday that Erik ten Hag is lining up a £53million bid to bring the five-capped France international to Old Trafford in January.

I believe that the 24-year-old would be an exceptional addition for United. However, there appears to be bad news for the Red Devils concerning their pursuit of the Eintracht Frankfurt ace…

Manchester United could miss out on Kolo Muani

Romano has claimed that the Bundesliga side are now demanding £62 million for the striker:

“Manchester United have been linked with a number of strikers, and the latest is Randal Kolo Muani. Still, in January it is more than difficult for any club – there is no intention from Eintracht Frankfurt to sell the player, and his price tag is around €70m. I think Kolo Muani alongside Jonathan David is one to watch for the summer.”

Missing out on the Frenchman this winter will be a big blow for United. He has bagged eight goals and 11 assists in 23 games in all competitions for the German side so far this season. He is just as much a creator as he is a goalscorer and has been described as an ‘assist king’ by the Bundesliga’s official website.

Kolo Muani is exactly the type of centre-forward the Ten Hag needs in order to take his Manchester United side to another level.

It seems as though the Dutchman may have to wait until the summer before getting his man though.
