Manchester United could turn their attention to Randal Kolo Muani as Juventus move breaks down
The 2024/25 season progressed like a painful movie. Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League, which is humiliating for the club’s level. Reaching the Europa League final seemed like a relief, but there too we lost to Tottenham Hotspur. Ruben Amorim took over the reins in the middle of the season, but by the time he came, the damage was done. Now the situation is such that we are not a part of any European competition in the 2025/26 season.
In the last few years, we have witnessed inconsistent campaigns without any sort of stability. There were always expectations, but the team’s performance kept fluctuating. Rasmus Hojlund showed moments of his brilliance, but did not bring consistency. There were expectations on Joshua Zirkzee, but he also crumbled under pressure last season. Now this summer, the club have definitely taken some good steps. Names like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have been brought to Old Trafford, who are Premier League-tested players.
United’s links with Kolo Muani
There is still a big void in attack, though as a reliable centre-forward is needed. According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, United are currently eyeing Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani. His permanent deal with Juventus is on hold, and that is why Manchester United have an opportunity to cash in.

Kolo Muani spent half the last season playing for Juventus on loan. PSG now want a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation to buy rather than a simple loan. Juventus have failed to sell their deadwood at the moment, which have affected their purchasing power. That opportunity could open the door for Old Trafford. Talking about his traits, Kolo Muani is quick, possesses the physical attributes, and is a good target man, but he doesn’t seem to have the killer instinct we need most.
Is this the option?
So, we feel that Manchester United should make the move for Benjamin Sesko before any other striker at the moment, which they are already doing. He is aerially strong, makes intelligent runs, and has a calmness in his finishing. The Slovenian’s playing style could fit well with our system, and he has age on his side. If a deal for Sesko doesn’t happen, then the Frenchman should be considered.
However, frankly, the 26-year-old striker’s recent performances don’t excite me a lot. He looked average at Juventus as well. PSG have rejected him, and he looks lacking in confidence. United need a striker who not only brings scoring, but also energy to the dressing room, and to be honest, Kolo Muani doesn’t fit that profile. We need smart decisions that can be effective for us. The search for a striker is far from over, and hopefully, the next news will bring some relief.
