Man Utd, Newcastle Transfer Target Set to Leave PSG for Key Reason | OneFootball

Randal Kolo Muani appears to be on the sidelines, with Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique showing little interest in making him the starting No. 9. Moreover, a journalist reveals the strained relationship between the coach and player.

So far, he’s played only 416 minutes across all competitions, sparking rumors of a possible January exit.

Recently, there’s been talk of a potential Premier League move for the 2022 FIFA World Cup runner-up, with Manchester United reportedly showing strong interest, according to a report from CaughtOffside last month.

As reported by TBR Football, intermediaries are also contacting several Premier League clubs—including Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United—to gauge interest in Kolo Muani.

While speaking to France Bleu Paris, journalist Abdellah Boulma noted why the French striker is likely on the way out and not in Enrique’s good gracious as the Spanish boss opts to use a false No. 9 rather than Kolo Muani.

“I think it will be beneficial for both parties and for Luis Enrique, who doesn’t trust him,” Boulma told the outlet (h/t Le10Sport). “It would be reasonable for him to leave.”
