Manchester United are plotting a move to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani as a report in Spain reveals the details of Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Barcelona.
Following a disastrous 2024/25 campaign that saw Man Utd finish 15th in the Premier League table and lose the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, the Red Devils have been very active in the summer transfer window.
United have already signed Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5million and have agreed a £70million deal with Brentford for Cameroonian winger Bryan Mbeumo.
Signing a striker is next on the agenda for the Premier League giants, with TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, reporting on Friday that the Red Devils are intensifying their pursuit of RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko.

According to FootMercato, Newcastle United are also interested in Kolo Muani, with the Magpies and United having ‘initiated contacts’.
Juventus are doing everything they can to convince the France international striker to extend his stay at the Italian club, having signed him on a loan deal from PSG for the second half of last season.
