Manchester United are ‘pushing hardest’ to sign £105m rated Eintracht Frankfurt star Randal Kolo Muani, with the Frenchman ‘considered a better option than Napoli’s Victor Osimhen’ – if the club isn’t in it manages to secure Harry Kane
- Randal Kolo Muani is making a name for himself with Eintracht Frankfurt
- The Frenchman also played for the national team and the 24-year-old is attracting interest
- Manchester United prefer Muani to transfer for Victor Osimhen from Napoli
Manchester United ‘are the club pushing the hardest’ to sign Eintracht Frankfurt and French star Randal Kolo Muani.
The 24-year-old attacker is one of the select transfer targets for Erik ten Hag’s men this summer, with the club looking for a striker.
Harry Kane is still regarded as the number 1 choice, but there is no guarantee negotiations with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will be easy.
Alternatives, such as Kolo Muani and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, have emerged, but Heaven Germany report that United ranks the Frankfurt man higher than the Nigerian in terms of interest.
They report that Bayern Munich have already started talks with Kolo Muani’s representatives, valuing the player at around £105 million.

“Unified printing without end,” the publication said. ‘They’re after him. This is the club that is currently accelerating the most – even more than Bayern. At United, Kolo Muani is ranked higher than Victor Osimhen.’
Despite the apparent interest at home and abroad, Frankfurt’s sporting director Markus Krösche denied last week that there has been no investigation or contact with the player, while acknowledging that his star has been targeted is for big clubs.
“It’s normal for the attacker to arouse desires,” he told Sky. But Bayern Munich is not the only club that has to deal with him.
‘On the other hand, Randal still feels very comfortable with us and he also has many areas for development that he can work on very well with us.’
Kolo Muani is a versatile player, who can operate as a central striker, wide out or in a slightly more withdrawn attacker.
He has racked up 13 goals and 12 assists this season, demonstrating that he is just as valuable to his creative achievements as scoring.
In March, after starting for France alongside Kylian Mbappé, the PSG star praised him, saying he is “very complete”.
It seems that Kolo Muani himself is ready for a move, previously saying: ‘We will continue our performances and we will see this summer. After that I always dreamed of playing in big clubs.’
