Man Utd already have four perfect players for exciting transfer target Randal Kolo Muani | Football | Sport
Manchester United have been told they already have four players whose styles would suit the addition of transfer target Kolo Randal Muani. Former Red Devils striker Louis Saha believes Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount would all complement the Frenchman.
Kolo Muani has been linked with a blockbuster switch from Eintracht Frankfurt to Old Trafford. His form in Germany has seen him become one of Europe’s most highly-rated forwards.
United’s desire to sign an elite striker this season has seen them identify the 24-year-old as a possible signing. There is also reported interest in Victor Osimhen, Rasmus Hojlund and Harry Kane.
However, Saha believes that Kolo Muani would suit United’s current squad. The ex-France international has offered fans an insight into what they can expect if United sign Kolo Muani.
“In the last year, Randal Kolo Muani has really developed and during the World Cup showed his talent and that he can handle the pressure. It was really captivating to see the way he had a strong link with Kylian Mbappe,” Saha told Paddy Power.
“He’s a smart lad, he’s got stamina, height and he’s really hard to defend against. Players like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount would all be very excited to play with a player who gives them so many options.
“He’s busy and always wants the ball. Manchester United need a player that brings more options to the team and the squad and Kolo Muani would do that.”
Saha is sceptical about what the immediate impact new signing Mount will make at Old Trafford. Concluding a drawn-out transfer saga, United confirmed the £60million arrival of the playmaker from Chelsea on Wednesday.
But the 44-year-old said: “Mason Mount isn’t necessarily going to go straight into the Manchester United team. It’s such a long season coming up and he’ll have to fight for his place.
“It’s a big transfer fee for someone who’s only got a year left of his contract but he’s going to bring diversity to this team because he’s a very smart, active and busy player. He’s also very creative and those are things that Manchester United have sometimes missed recently.
“They need creativity, but also mobility and only Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes had that last season. Mount can do it but from midfield, rather than from someone like Antony or Rashford. He’s like a playmaker but a bit more mobile and he’ll open up the way they play and give more options. He’ll create more one-on-ones for the strikers and it’s a brilliant signing.”
