Manchester United sent exciting Randal Kolo Muani verdict amid transfer interest

Former France international Bixente Lizarazu believes Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani has what it takes to deliver the goods at Manchester United - but has warned he may be better off staying in Germany for another season first.

The 24-year-old, who plundered 23 goals for Frankfurt this season, has made his way onto United's radar as they attempt to beef up their attacking options this summer. Manager Erik ten Hag has prioritised the addition of a striker and Kolo Muani is one of a handful of options the club is currently considering.

Kolo Muani joined Frankfurt from French outfit FC Nantes on a free transfer last summer and enjoyed an outstanding debut campaign in Germany, scoring 23 goals and grabbing 17 assists in all competitions. He scored 15 times in the Bundesliga, meaning he ended the season as the division's third-highest goalscorer.

His exploits in his debut season in Germany has resulted in several big-name clubs being linked with his signature, including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as United, of course. And for fellow Frenchman Lizarazu, who was part of the France squad that won the World Cup in 1998, Kolo Muani has the credentials to deliver the goods in England.
