BID ACCEPTED: Man United’s £105m bid for 39-goals in just 20-games attacker has been accepted as the player has already agreed personal terms to join the Reds- Medical scheduled already
Manchester United have been given a winter wake-up call after a transfer offer was reportedly submitted for one of their main attacking targets.
The Red Devils have not made a single signing or sale since the January transfer window opened nearly a week ago. And Ruben Amorim is desperate for reinforcements, with United struggling in all areas of the pitch since he took over from Erik ten Hag.
In recent years, the club have spent big on strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. But neither of them have settled at Old Trafford, leaving United 16th in the Premier League’s goals-scored table and 13th in the points standings.
One player they have been linked with as a possible solution to their goals shortage is Randal Kolo Muani. The French international has been frozen out by Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique and is expected to leave the Parc des Princes before the end of the month.
United, Aston Villa and Chelsea are reportedly among the top clubs keeping tabs on Kolo Muani’s situation in case there is an opportunity to strike. And all three of them may be jolted into action by the news of a recent offer from AS Monaco.Whether United are in a position to move for Kolo Muani may depend on outgoings. Amorim has admitted he does not have bags of money to spend, and it is understood that the Red Devils will need to sell in order to buy.
According to Telefoot, the Ligue 1 side approached PSG with a proposal to take Kolo Muani on a straight loan deal until the end of the season.
Thankfully for United and the rest of Kolo Muani’s suitors, PSG are believed to have turned it down. The French league leaders are only open to a permanent sale or a loan with an option to buy, given Luis Enrique has determined that the forward is not part of his long-term plans.

Marcus Rashford and Zirkzee are among the attackers who could be on their way out of Old Trafford. And Monaco’s concrete move for Kolo Muani may encourage United to speed up the process of auctioning off those up for sale.
Kolo Muani has scored 11 goals in 54 games for PSG since completing a £76million move from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. The 26-year-old racked up 23 goals in Germany the season before last and has netted eight times for the French national team.
On the prospect of doing business this month, Amorim said: “When the window is open, we can try to do something and we will try to do something. It’s not the case I am arriving here and I can spend a lot of money, changing all the team.”
