According to Florian Plettenberg, a German football analyst, Manchester United has apparently expressed a real interest in signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani this summer.

The Red Devils’ intention to bolster their forward line throughout the offseason is an open secret. Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen have already been mentioned as their main targets, but Kolo Muani is also said to be on their radar, according to recent reports.

Plettenberg wrote on Twitter that Man Utd had been ‘pushing most’ to sign the forward and that Kolo Muani’s representation are looking into the market to help their client take the next step in his career this summer.

According to the report, United has been trying to entice the Frenchman to Old Trafford at the end of this campaign, but nothing has progressed about this agreement as of yet; nevertheless, things may change over the next few weeks.

But according to Plettenberg, Man Utd won’t have an easy time signing Kolo Muani because Bayern Munich is also interested in bringing the 24-year-old in the summer.

News Kolo Muani: Recognise that Manchester United is the team pushing hardest right now! beyond FC Bayern! The player has not yet made a decision. With no club, there is no verbal agreement. His management is conducting a market investigation. After meetings between Tuchel and the managers, Bayern must now take the next move.

Kolo Muani joined the team last summer, and his current deal has more than four years left on it. Frankfurt is in a good position to demand a high charge if they are forced to sell, and it is said that they are asking for a value of about £88 million. Therefore, United would have to spend a fortune to sign Kolo Muani during the offseason.

The Frenchman has had an outstanding season so far, making 43 appearances across all competitions while tallying 16 goals and 10 assists.

Therefore, it is not surprising to learn that major European clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich have shown interest in the 24-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window.

Kolo Muani is a gifted athlete with the capacity to advance to the level of a striker of the highest calibre. So if Manchester United decides to buy him at the end of this season, it would be a wise move.
