Table of Contents
Following a trophy-less and European qualification-less season, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly looking to revamp the team’s attack with the addition of French players Randal Kolo Muani and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
After a disastrous season that saw Manchester United finish 15th in the Premier League and lose the Europa league final to Tottenham, notable changes are expected at Old Trafford. With no European football next season, manager Ruben Amorim is wasting no time in reshaping the squad. While the club is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Brazilian player Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton, the Portuguese manager is also keen to bolster the attack with additional firepower.
Manchester United targets Kolo Muani and Mateta
According to reports from journalists Danny rust and Dean Jones, Manchester United is targeting French forwards Randal kolo Muani and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Kolo Muani, currently with PSG after a loan spell at juventus, is unlikely to have a future in Paris due to the club’s strong attacking options. However, his performances for the French national team have kept his reputation high.
“Manchester United are eyeing Randal Kolo Muani and Jean-Philippe Mateta as their search for fresh firepower continues.”
Jean-Philippe Mateta, who plays for Crystal Palace, has had another strong season in England, including a successful CUP run. Amorim is reportedly interested in bringing both French players to Manchester, believing their different styles – Mateta’s power and kolo Muani’s speed – would complement each other. They could potentially replace the Hojlund-Zirkzee duo, who have been deemed underwhelming. though, financial constraints could be a hurdle, as Crystal Palace and PSG might potentially be reluctant to sell their attackers, and Manchester United will need to reduce spending without Champions League revenue.
