Manchester United have been handed a boost in their search for a new attacker this summer, with sources at Eintracht Frankfurt said to no longer view extending Randal Kolo Muani’s stay as a realistic option, according to Christian Falk:
“Everyone’s getting the feeling that it’s no longer realistic for Frankfurt to keep Randal Kolo Muani for one year more,” the reporter wrote.
“The player’s already come out and said it’s the first time he can think about a summer move – to a big club in particular. So, you see, Frankfurt is losing a lot of quality and this could be the reason why Oliver Glasner is considering leaving.
“Manchester United is a big thing for Muani. They don’t have the right striker for this position; look at Wout Weghorst – he’s only scored two goals for them. They are preparing an offer for him. He knows that and if you have United in your head, it’s hard to concentrate on Frankfurt.”
Muani joined Frankfurt last summer and the striker has gone on to have a very impressive debut season in Germany.
He has scored 16 goals and provided 14 assists in 35 outings across all competitions so far this season.
That is a fairly steep fee but considering Manchester United are desperate for a striker, it is a fee they may need to pay.
Wout Weghorst is extremely goal shy and only on loan anyway, whilst Anthony Martial has proven he is not cut out to lead the line at Old Trafford.
