Manchester United and Newcastle United join the race for Randal Kolo Muani | OneFootball

Manchester United and Newcastle United are keen to sign Randal Kolo Muani and have made contact regarding a potential move, according to Foot Mercato.

Kolo Muani spent the latter half of last season on loan at Juventus, where he bagged 10 goals and three assists in 22 appearances across all competitions.

Juve would like to prolong the Frenchman’s stay in Turin to partner him with new signing Jonathan David. However, they will now have to fend off some competition.

Despite having signed Matheus Cunha and recently agreeing a deal for Bryan Mbeumo, Man United are still working on more attacking acquisitions.

They were one of the suitors for Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike, but he is set to join Liverpool. United are pivoting to other targets, one of whom is Kolo Muani.

Newcastle were also keen on Ekitike and have wasted no time shifting their attention elsewhere.

Alexander Isak’s future is uncertain amid interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, and the Magpies may need a replacement.

Alongside Yoane Wissa, Kola Muani is now a transfer candidate as Newcastle aim to bolster their ranks ahead of a return to Champions League football.

Paris Saint-Germain would ideally like to sanction a permanent sale or a loan with an obligation to buy for Kolo Muani.
