MANCHESTER UNITED are “pushing hard” to sign £105million-rated striker Randal Kolo Muani this summer, according to reports.
The Red Devils are desperate to add a forward ahead of next season and have compiled a star-studded shortlist.
Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen are among United’s targets as they chase a new No9.
And according to Sky Germany, the Red Devils are eager to sign French international Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt.
United face plenty of competition for the 24-year-old’s signature – with Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Tottenham all interested.
Bayern are particularly keen, having failed to adequately replace Robert Lewandowski after the Pole’s exit for Barcelona last summer.

But it is United reportedly making the biggest push.
And according to reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Red Devils consider Kolo Muani an even higher priority than Napoli hot-shot Osimhen.
The 6ft 2in ace hails from Parisian suburb Bondy, the same hometown as Kylian Mbappe and William Saliba.
He has scored 13 Bundesliga goals this season, as well as a further two in the Champions League.

Kolo Muani joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a free transfer from Nantes last summer, having helped Les Canaris win the Coupe de France last term.
His impressive form saw him earn his maiden France call-up last year, and he went on to be named in Didier Deschamps’ 26-man World Cup squad – coming off the bench in the final.
With Tottenham virtually out of the top four race, United are confident of sealing a deal for Kane in their striker hunt.
But they are keen to avoid a summer transfer saga and could look to other targets should Spurs drag their heels.
