Romano: Man Utd ‘could be offered’ player hailed as the ‘complete’ striker by Kylian Mbappe | OneFootball

Manchester United may be one agent’s first point of call if his client fails to complete his expected transfer this summer.

Indeed, the Red Devils could be contacted to gauge their desire to sign former target Randal Kolo Muani in the event he does not sign permanently for Juventus in the coming weeks.

After struggling to cement a starting spot or find his most prolific form at Paris Saint-Germain for a season and a half, Muani departed for Turin in the winter in hopes of reviving his stagnant career – and that he did.

From making just two league starts and scoring twice in the first half of 2024/2025, the frontman went on to play an integral role for Juventus; he notched 10 goals and three assists in 22 appearances – including three goals in three starts at the Club World Cup.

Such stellar showings have prompted the Old Lady to try and tie him down to a long-term deal. PSG are said to be open to his sale, having conceded that Muani is just not the right fit for Luis Enrique’s project at the moment. However, an agreement is yet to be reached between all parties.

Why United have been tipped for a surprise Muani swoop

That’s where United come in.

The Reds hold long-standing interest in Muani after first being linked with him back in 2023, when he had become one of the most sought-after talents in Europe for his emphatic Eintracht Frankfurt performances.

United ultimately swayed in the direction of Rasmus Hojlund, signing him in a £72m package deal from Atalanta, while Muani – hailed as a ‘complete’ player by compatriot Kylian Mbappe joined the Ligue 1 giants for £76.4m all-in.

Reports in recent weeks have suggested INEOS could turn to the French international to solve their centre-forward crisis, although it remains to be seen if he would be open to the move, given the side failed to qualify for Champions League football for the forthcoming term.

Fabrizio Romano shared his understanding of the situation, confirming there is a chance an approach will be made from Muani’s representatives.

“I’m not aware of concrete talks as Juventus remain favourites now, but Manchester United could be offered this opportunity in case the Juve deal collapses,” said Romano in GiveMeSport’s newsletter.
