Manchester United are reportedly planning a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward, Randal Kolo Muani as a replacement for Marcus Rashford.
Ruben Amorim excluded Rashford, 27, and Alejandro Garnacho from United’s matchday squad for Sunday afternoon’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The England international has been linked to a number of elite European clubs and a move to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia since he was left out of the squad.
Speaking to reporter Henry Winter yesterday, Rashford finally spoke out about the matter.

The 27-year-old said that it was “disappointing” to be excluded and even alluded to the fact that he was “ready for a new challenge and next steps.”
However, United would require a replacement if he were to depart, perhaps as early as January.
According to SportBible, the Red Devils have identified Kolo Muani and are willing to bring him to Old Trafford. French publication Le 10 Sport, also stated that United showed interest in the player last month.
The Paris-based club have “cleared a January departure,” according to L’Equipe, after the player lost favor with PSG manager Luis Enrique.
Kolo Muani, 26, signed with the Parisians from Bundesliga team Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth £76.4 million in the summer of 2023.
However, he has only scored 11 goals in 54 games for the French champions, failing to live up to the high price tag.
