WHAT HAPPENED?
According to ESPN, Chelsea and Arsenal passed up the chance to sign the Paris Saint-Germain forward, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus. However, United are said to be monitoring the 26-year-old's situation, but also like Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The report adds that if United do sign a striker, it is likely that they will need to sell someone in the process. PSG are said to want around €50 million (£43.7m) for a player who signed for €75m (£65.6m) in 2023, but could agree to a loan first with an obligation to buy later. The Red Devils are in need of more firepower after two seasons in a row of a negative goal difference but whether they can get Kolo Muani is another question entirely.

DID YOU KNOW?
The report adds that PSG want to sell Kolo Muani and he doesn't want to stay at the Champions League holders, either. Juventus would like to sign the striker but it is 'financially difficult' for them to secure his signature, as could be the case for United at present.

WHAT NEXT?
While United try and sign a striker, they will have to make do with current options Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, and Chido Obi ahead of the new Premier League season. Before then, they are in the United States for pre-season.
