Man United 'in talks to sign forward duo Rasmus Hojlund and Randal Kolo Muani'
According to reports, Manchester United has engaged in discussions with Atalanta and Eintracht Frankfurt regarding the potential signings of Rasmus Hojlund and Randal Kolo Muani during the upcoming summer transfer window. Manager Erik ten Hag is eager to bolster his attacking options in order to alleviate the workload on Marcus Rashford for the upcoming season. While Harry Kane has been identified as their top target, Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly unwilling to sell their star striker to Manchester United and would rather let his contract run down and lose him for free next year.
Recent reports suggest that United has been monitoring the progress of Hojlund and Kolo Muani, and now it appears that their interest in the duo has intensified. The club's football director, John Murtough, has reportedly engaged in multiple conversations with Atalanta and Eintracht Frankfurt regarding the potential transfers.
Both clubs are reportedly open to allowing their players to depart if a suitable offer is presented. At this stage, Hojlund is considered the more probable signing for Manchester United, as he recently signed with the SEG agency, which also represents Ten Hag. The Danish forward has enjoyed a productive debut season at Atalanta, scoring eight goals in Serie A and helping his team secure a fifth-place finish.
On the other hand, Kolo Muani still has four years remaining on his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt and would be a more expensive option for Manchester United. The Bundesliga club is likely to demand a fee of up to £68.7 million (€80 million) for the 24-year-old. Kolo Muani has recently had his most prolific season, finding the net 15 times in the Bundesliga as Frankfurt finished seventh. Only Niklas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku scored more goals than him in Germany's top division.
In addition to Hojlund and Kolo Muani, Manchester United has been linked with other attacking targets such as Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus and Victor Osimhen of Napoli. However, Napoli's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has made it clear that Osimhen is not for sale this summer, while securing Vlahovic's signature would require a significant financial commitment from Manchester United. As a result, the club may prefer a more affordable deal for either Hojlund or Kolo Muani.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United will continue their pursuit of strengthening their attacking options. The potential signings of Hojlund and Kolo Muani would provide additional firepower to the squad and offer valuable support to Marcus Rashford. The club's discussions with Atalanta and Eintracht Frankfurt indicate their determination to secure the services of these talented young forwards ahead of the new season
