Eintracht Frankfurt chief sends Manchester United warning over Randal Kolo Muani interest

Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche has insisted the Bundesliga club have "no intention" of selling star striker Randal Kolo Muani in the summer transfer window.

Earlier this week, MEN Sport reported that United are keeping tabs on Kolo Muani and Atalanta ace Rasmus Hojlund should they be priced out of a move for Tottenham talisman Harry Kane.

Muani has scored 16 goals in 35 appearances for Eintracht this season and started in France's Euro 2024 qualifying wins over the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland over the last week. The 24-year-old, who only joined the German club last year, is under contract until 2027.

Frankfurt chief Krosche admitted the hype around the Frenchman is 'understandable and normal', but claimed the Bundesliga side will aim to keep hold of the player for at least another season.

"Basically, we have no intention of selling Randal Kolo Muani after only one year with us this summer," he told Sport1. "But the hype about him is understandable and completely fine. He deserves that after his great performances."

Krosche added: "We want to continue on this path with him and not necessarily sell him. Another season with us would certainly do him good."

While the Reds are keeping tabs on both Muani and Hojlund, Erik ten Hag is intent on signing England captain Kane as he approaches the final year of his contract.

Given United are likely to have qualified for the Champions League, and are prioritising a new striker, Kane could potentially be tempted by a switch to Old Trafford. However, sources expect at least four European clubs to be in the market for a forward in the summer, with Chelsea and Bayern Munich
