Bruno Fernandes told Manchester United the value of signing Randal Kolo Muani
Man United are desperate for a world-class leader this summer and Erik ten Hag has several options, Randal Kolo Muani already impressing Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United are still looking for a world-class striker and Bruno Fernandes may have already alerted his team to Randal Kolo Muani.
A world class number. 9 has long been a priority at Old Trafford and Erik ten Hag is keen to score more goals for his side and relieve Marcus Rashford. Harry Kane was the main target but Daniel Levy doesn’t seem at all willing to accept any offers.
United make this assumption and therefore have a shortlist of alternative options. Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund are both interesting, although both current clubs are trying to overload their respective stars. Another possible option is Kolo Muani. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a stellar season in front of goal for Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 23 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions – good enough form to catch Fernandes’ attention.
“Kolo Muani, I think he’s doing very well,” the Reds midfielder told Royaltiz recently. “We saw in the World Cup that he was good, but I think he is doing even better this season.”
“I think he’s one of the most promising [players] in the world right now along with Rafa [Leao]. He probably has the next step to a good club now. He’s a player that I really like to see what will happen in the future because I think he’s a player who still has a lot to bring to football.”
How much Frankfurt will ask for Kolo Muani remains to be seen and the France international won’t come cheap – although less than Osimhen or Hojlund. United remain vigilant to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations and the £55million initially paid by Chelsea for Mason Mount will essentially halve Ten Hag’s budget.
However, sales will be sanctioned to raise funds and a number of first-team ancillary options are expected to see the budget rise significantly. A quality striker will cost a lot of money and if the club want to listen to a current player about who they want to sign, their most creative outlet could be a good place to start.

Former Ajax player looking foward to reunite with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford – Reports
According to Gazzetta, former Ajax star Andre Onana is keen to reunite with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. The Red Devils have been linked with the player, who plays for Inter Milan.
United are actively looking to sign a new goalkeeper. David de Gea’s contract has expired, and the Spaniard looks unlikely to stay at the club. Hence, United are looking to sign a new shot-stopper in the summer. Onana is United’s primary transfer target.
He previously played under Ten Hag at Ajax. The goalkeeper was a key player for Inter Milan last season as the Nerazzuri reached the UEFA Champions League final. He made 41 appearances across competitions, keeping 19 clean sheets.
Manchester United are looking for a goalkeeper who can distribute well with the ball on his feet. Onana corresponds to this profile. Its range of passes was fully exposed throughout last season.
Having played under ten hag before, Onana is well aware of the style of play of the Dutchman. Therefore, it could prove to be an excellent addition to Old Trafford and adapt well.
What did Frank Lampard said about Manchester United-Target’s Mason mount? Mason Mount is set to join Manchester United from Chelsea. The Red Devils have reportedly agreed a £60m deal for the player.
However, Mount was not in his best form last season. He made just 35 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing six assists. Along with spending time on the sidelines due to injuries, Mount also failed to secure a regular starting spot. Hence, many are sceptical whether Mount can make a team like Manchester United better. Frank Lampard, who served as Chelsea’s caretaker manager after Graham Potter’s sacking last season, defended Mount in April. He said about the 24-year-old (via Manchester Evening News):
“I’m not going to tell anyone what opinion they should have on football, but if anyone thinks Mason Mount is not already a top-level player, then I’m not sure what they’re seeing.”
Lampard added:
“From working with Mason – you can ask myself, you can ask Thomas Tuchel, you can ask Gareth Southgate, you can ask Graham Potter – it’s clear he’s a top player and a top lad.
“One thing I know about Mason, the first thing a top player should have is a real hunger to succeed and play and do well for Chelsea, and he’s had that since the first day I took him to Derby. That’s simple for me. He is still a young player. He can go further, but he is already a top player.
Mason Mount is a very technical player and has demonstrated his skills at the highest level. He could prove the critics wrong by returning to form under Ten Hag at Manchester United.

Man Utd takeover: The reason for the delays in the club sale process
Qatar’s bid to take ownership of Manchester United is growing in confidence they will win the race to buy the club from the Glazer family understands 90min.
Led by Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the Qatari bid has gained the edge over a rival bid from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS in recent weeks. It’s a proposition that would see the 13-time Premier League champion 100% owned, up from Ratcliffe’s latest offer of a partial buyout.
The family has pledged £6 billion, although all offers to date have come in below the asking price. The valuation was set by the Glazer family and the Raine Group, who negotiated the sale on their behalf. United’s valuation is compared to the valuations of other sports franchises, notably the NFL, and it is understood the Glazers believe United are worth far more than the $6 billion sale of the Washington Commanders in April.
Instead, they believe the value is more in line with that of the Dallas Cowboys, the world’s most valuable sports franchise, last valued at $8 billion – and that United even have the potential to surpass that figure. .
READ THE LATEST ON THE MAN UTD TAEKOVER
However, none of the buyers are willing to increase their offer at this stage, as the whole sales process takes nearly eight months and counts. The Glazers’ trial, and the property in general, has caused frustration and massive protests from United fans over the course of 18 years – with the protests becoming even more violent in recent months and years.
The delay in the sale has so far impacted United’s proposed transfer deal as manager Erik ten Hag was looking for players but none had signed by early July. There is also uncertainty about goalkeeper David de Gea, whose contract expires on Friday.
This delay was caused by internal disagreements between the six Glazer family brothers, with Joel and Avram – the two most involved in the day-to-day running of the club – favoring Ratcliffe’s eventual offer. However, the other four brothers prefer a full sale, payment and exit, which would be allowed by accepting Qatar’s offer.
A settlement could be reached between the brothers at any time, with Qatar currently confident their bid will win if a decision is made. But as it stands, the “strategic alternatives” process initiated by the Glazers in November continues.

Arsenal prepare record-breaking Declan Rice offer after transfer deadline
Arsenal have already seen a bid for Declan Rice rejected but are now looking to make an improved offer which could see West Ham finally sell their coveted captain.
Arsenal are set to make an improved £90m offer for Declan Rice today.
The Gunners are determined to make the West Ham midfielder their primary transfer target in this time slot.
Last week, West Ham rejected an opening offer of £80m plus surcharges as they kicked off the ball to sign the England star. But now they are preparing to return with a new offer which will be worth £90m with surcharges and they hope it progresses.
Rice, 24, is determined to join Arsenal and aims to complete a move to the Emirates by the end of June which should put Arsenal in a strong position. Manchester City have also been linked with Rice, but Arsenal are confident he is in pole position amid doubts over whether Pep Guardiola’s men are really waiting for the West Ham captain.
But Arsenal have a clear plan for Rice, seeing him as an integral part of their summer plans and as a potential successor to Grant Xhaka, who is expected to join Bayer Leverkusen once Mikel Arteta is able to sign new midfielders. ground.
Rice has been given the green light to leave West Ham if a Champions League club can meet his price demands.
Arsenal to make second offer for Declan Rice on Tuesday
Arsenal really appreciate Rice’s ball skills as well as his versatility as he can play in a deeper midfield, as an energetic box-to-box player and also as a midfielder.
Rice helped West Ham win the Europa Conference League and it seems like the perfect way to say goodbye to the London stadium this summer. After the European Cup triumph, CEO David Sullivan said: “We promised him he could go. He carried on with all his heart. You can’t wish for a man who has shown more commitment to us this season.”
“In due time he will have to step in and we will have to get a replacement – or more replacements. We don’t want that.” We offered him £200,000 a week 18 months ago. He refused.
