Manchester United have failed in their effort to sign the player destined to be the successor to Rashford.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani has rejected interest from Manchester United and Tottenham, choosing to join Juventus on loan, as per reports from France.

This month, the 26-year-old has generated substantial interest from many European teams, having failed to play a consistent role on Luis Enrique’s PSG side.

Kolo Muani was signed by PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 for €75 million (£64.2 million), plus €15 million (£12.2 million) in bonuses, but has completed just two Ligue 1 starts so far this season.

The French national team member was tracked by both Manchester United and Tottenham in the January transfer window.

However, on Tuesday night RMC Sport reported that Kolo Muani would join Juventus after the Serie A club reached agreement with PSG early on that day.

Juventus has signed up Kolo Muani on loan for the current season, which means he will play with the team, though they do not reserve an option for a summer purchase.

Kolo Muani is set to undergo medical checks with Juventus on Wednesday.

This would be a setback for Manchester United, who are looking for someone to replace Marcus Rashford; the latter also indicated that he wants to leave Old Trafford in search of “new challenges.”
