Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani in January.
There are set to be major changes at the Theatre of Dreams following the arrival of new head coach Ruben Amorim, who is supposedly willing to offload Joshua Zirkzee on loan in the New Year.
Joining from Italian side Bologna over the summer, the Netherlands international scored on his Premier League debut against Fulham but has failed to find the net across 16 competitive matches since.
Zirkzee has lost his starting spot for the Red Devils to Denmark star Rasmus Hojlund, who has returned from an injury that plagued him during the opening weeks of the campaign.
Man United will take to the field for the first time under the stewardship of Amorim on Sunday afternoon, when a trip to Ipswich Town is on the agenda.
Man United 'lining up' move for PSG man Kolo Muani
According to French outlet L'Equipe via The Sun, Manchester United are looking at the possibility of signing PSG attacker Kolo Muani during the upcoming January transfer window.
The report claims that the Red Devils are eyeing up a loan move for the 25-year-old until the conclusion of the 2024-25 term, in which Champions League qualification represents the main aim for Amorim's side.
After spending £180m on signings over the summer, it is understood that Man United are not in a position to consider a permanent swoop for Kolo Muani.
It is believed that the 27-time France international is surplus to requirements at Parc des Princes, with PSG boss Luis Enrique happy to sanction an exit for the attacker in the New Year.
Kolo Muani has featured in eight Ligue 1 matches for Les Parisiens so far this season, starting just two games for the defending French champions.
Do Man United need Kolo Muani?
Since the announcement of Amorim taking the Man United job from Erik ten Hag, much has been made of a potential switch for the side to a 3-4-3 formation.
There have been concerns from pundits and supporters alike that Zirkzee and even Hojlund could struggle to perform well in the manager's system.
Operating with devastating impact at the focal point of the 3-4-3 formation whilst at Eintracht Frankfurt, Kolo Muani could be a seamless fit into Amorim's preferred XI.
The potential of the Frenchman to hit the ground running at Old Trafford is extremely attractive for Man United, considering that they currently sit 13th in the Premier League standings and require a quick change of their fortunes.
