According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are considering a double summer swoop for Randal Kolo Muani and Rasmus Winther Hojlund.
It’s no secret that the Red Devils want to improve their striker position for next season. Wout Weghorst was signed on a six-month loan in January, but he will return to Burnley at the end of the season, leaving Erik ten Hag short of strikers.
Several players, including Kolo Muani and Henrik Hojlund, have been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months. According to reports, ten Hag’s top priority is Harry Kane, and United are ready to make a move for him this summer.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have made it clear that they have no intention of selling their striker, who will enter the final year of his current contract this summer, regardless of whether the Englishman signs a new contract in the coming months.
According to the MEN, United are planning a double swoop for Kolo Muani and Henrik Larsson if they are unable to secure a deal for Kane during the summer transfer window.
Kolo Muani and Hojlund have risen to prominence following impressive performances for club and country. They have drawn a lot of interest from clubs all over Europe ahead of the summer window, so Man Utd will face stiff competition.
Manchester United is planning a move for a striker duo.
Kolo Muani and Henrik Hojlund are currently contracted to Eintracht Frankfurt and Atalanta, respectively, until June 2027. As a result, neither club is eager to let their star players leave this summer.
However, it has been reported that if Frankfurt is forced to sell Kolo Muani, they will demand a fee of £89 million. According to a recent report, the player’s mind has changed after learning of United’s interest, and the Frenchman is desperate to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are reportedly willing to accept £35 million for Hojlund, and the forward has recently expressed his desire to join Ten Hag’s side. To entice the duo to join United at the end of the season, United would need to spend around £124 million.
This season, Kolo Muani and Hojlund have excelled in their respective leagues. So, if Man United can close both deals, they will undoubtedly strengthen the Red Devils’ attacking department.
