Paris Saint-Germain outcast Randal Kolo Muani has rejected the chance to join Manchester United
Manchester United are about to finally get a huge deal over the line, which could free up vital funds to strengthen elsewhere in the final days of the transfer window. Rasmus Hojlund’s move to Napoli has inched closer, with the beleaguered striker having agreed personal terms with the Italian champions.
The Red Devils upgrading their forward line with the acquisitions of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko has seen Hojlund become surplus to Ruben Amorim’s requirements at the club. Having not made an appearance in the new season thus far, the writing is on the wall for the Dane.
INEOS have splashed big to acquire three talented and exciting forwards in a bid to address last season’s grave problem of scoring goals. Funnily enough, neither of Mbeumo, Cunha or Sesko have managed to score a goal thus far, as Ruben Amorim’s side have lost and drawn to Arsenal and Fulham, respectively.
Elsewhere, it has been understood that the club failed to strike a deal with a European club for a striker.

PSG outcast rejects Man United move
According to an exclusive report from CaughtOffside, Man United have failed in their attempts to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani.
Randal Kolo Muani spent time on loan at Juventus last season, showing signs of getting back his mojo. He netted eight goals and registered an assist in 16 games and is keen to return to Turin, but Juventus have so far not been able to agree terms with Paris Saint-Germain. This led to Man United contacting PSG over a possible deal for the France international; however, the player was not interested as he prioritises a move to Juventus.
“Manchester United, while waiting to reach a total agreement with Napoli for the departure of Rasmus Hojlund, have started to explore alternative names for their attack. Among the players considered is PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani,” one source told CaughtOffside.
“United recently made contact, asking for information and signalling to the player’s entourage their interest in opening talks. However, Kolo Muani has given no indication of being open to a move to Old Trafford. The French forward has made his stance clear: his priority is Juventus.”

Man United do not need another forward
It looks like United are planning to improve their depth up front if Hojlund departs for Napoli, as evidenced by their interest in Kolo Muani.
With Sesko, Cunha and Mbeumo arriving to bolster the front line that already had Joshua Zirkzee and Chido Obi Martin, the Premier League giants have enough options up top. And with Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount capable of operating as a false 9, there is no immediate need to add another striker to Amorim’s ranks.
Thus, Kolo Muani supposedly rejecting a move to Old Trafford should not sting INEOS and the fans.
