Manchester United wants to submit an application for Marcus Rashford’s successor in January, and Ruben Amorim has not been convinced about the Englishman since taking up the position.
Rashford started Amorim’s first two games First league responsible games Manchester Unitedafter which he had to settle for a substitute role in the second half against both teams Arsenal AND Nottingham Forest.

Manchester United are considering potential successors to Marcus Rashford
As a result, the 27-year-old Manchester United academy graduate’s time at Old Trafford appears to be coming to an end, with reports now linking strikers from across Europe to replace him.
According to TeamManchester United is interested in signing a contract PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani in the January transfer window, where a loan with an option to buy was advertised.
Sky Sports Germany reports that Kolo Muani is no longer part of PSG manager Luis Enrique’s plans and the French team are ready to let him go.
He has started just two games in all PSG competitions this season, and Kolo Muani’s playing time in the Parisian’s team is extremely limited. Despite making 14 appearances in total, scoring two goals and providing an assist, the 26-year-old is increasingly out of sorts having played just 78 minutes in total since the start of November.
Kolo Muani would fit well into Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation at Manchester United, and his ability to play as both a center forward and a winger would make him well suited to any striker position in the starting XI.
Despite Kolo Muani still having three years left on his contract and the fact that he moved to PSG in the summer of 2023 for over £75 million, Transfermarkt values ​​him at just £25 million. This cost is much more related to the transfer fee Manchester United would like to pay, given their desire to stay within the parameters set out in the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Principles.
IN FourFourTwoIn his opinion, bringing in Kolo Muani in the January transfer window would be a wise idea, especially on loan with an option to buy. If he does not feature at Old Trafford, there is no obligation to make the transfer permanent, although Manchester United have signed several loan signings in recent years – Marcel Sabitzer, Wout Weghorst, Sofyan Amrabat – which underlines that the club is open to all types of deals.
