- Man Utd turning focus to Randal Kolo Muani
- Fears of overpaying for Rasmus Hojlund
- Atalanta's high valuation for Hojlund a concern
WHAT HAPPENED: Manchester United have shifted their attention to Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani as they seek to bolster their attacking options as per ESPN. The move comes amid reservations about the valuation set by Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund, a primary target for United. The club recently completed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan. The Red Devils have already reportedly come to agreements with the striker, however, negotiations with Atalanta are expected to continue.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: United's pursuit of a centre forward has led them to consider alternatives to Rasmus Hojlund, as Atalanta's asking price of at least €70 million is deemed excessive by the club. They view the 20-year-old Danish striker's valuation as disproportionate for a player still early in his career. With concerns over potentially overpaying, United is exploring other options, including Randal Kolo Muani.
