Luis Enrique Slammed for Mishandling Standout Linked to Arsenal, Man Utd | OneFootball

As the January transfer window approaches, speculation about Randal Kolo Muani’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is intensifying, especially given his limited playing time this season. Nonetheless, one pundit is going after the PSG manager for his handling of Kolo Muani.

Under Luis Enrique, Kolo Muani has struggled to secure a regular spot as PSG’s main striker. With just 425 minutes across all competitions, rumors about his potential departure in January are growing.

Le10Sport reports that Manchester United have expressed interest in the French forward, reaching out to explore their options. However, with limited funds for a permanent deal, they are said to be considering a loan move for the second half of the 2024-25 season.

At the same time, CaughtOffside revealed that Arsenal are keeping an eye on several attacking targets, including Kolo Muani, Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Mateo Retegui, and Liam Delap.

PSG struggled so score again this past weekend in their 1-1 draw with FC Nantes. As a result, Walid Acherchour criticize the coach for his handling of the situation that led to the disappointing result and lack of goals.

“I’m a big fan of Luis Enrique, but he’s losing his way,” Acherchour said (h/t Foot01). “I’m sorry, but what message are you sending to your locker room?! Gonçalo Ramos, the 15 minutes he’s played this season were against Le Havre (in August).

“Kolo Muani is playing against his former club Nantes at home, and he doesn’t even get a minute. Gonçalo Ramos plays 90 minutes and is exhausted in the last 30 minutes. Put some presence in the box! It’s also up to the coach to use his bench.”

Along with Arsenal and Manchester United, Kolo Muani is now linked to Chelsea, who view him as competition for Nicolas Jackson.
