Manchester United lost their fifth game of December on Thursday with Wolverhampton Wanderers beating them 2-0 at the Molineux Stadium.
Ruben Amorim has now won a meagre seven points from a possible 21 since his arrival, which is less than the points former boss Erik ten Hag had accrued in his final seven matches before he received his marching orders.
The current United squad looks ill-equipped to deal with the Portuguese’s demands and a change in approach might be the order of the day or else the team looks to be gearing up for a relegation scrap.
The team lacks an out-and-out goalscorer with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling to make an impact when given the chance to start games, with both more suited to the role of a substitute.
United need reinforcements up top
That is why, as per Teamtalk, Amorim has demanded INEOS to acquire disgruntled Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani’s signature in January.
PSG are open to selling the Frenchman in January with Luis Enrique not his biggest fan, however, the move will be far from easy with multiple Premier League sides in the race.
Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal all like the 26-year-old, who prefers a move to the Premier League and wants to play for a club who are playing in the Champions League.
“Ruben Amorim is hopeful Manchester United can sign Randal Kolo Muani in January but they will face competition from several other Premier League sides for the Paris Saint-Germain striker, TEAMtalk can reveal.
Amorim wants Kolo Muani
“Sources have now confirmed to TEAMtalk that the French striker wants to move to the Premier League and Kolo Muani is keen to keep playing in the Champions League.”
The Red Devils are languishing in 14th position and will need to work overtime to convince Kolo Muani to trade Paris for Manchester.
The France international has looked like a shadow of his former self since his move to Ligue 1 but two season ago, he netted 23 goals while also registering 17 assists for former outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.
He can play all across the frontline and will be desperate to prove his critics wrong, just the sort of hungry player United need right now. He will also be available for a cut-price fee, something that will suit INEOS.
Whether they can land the PSG striker, called “one of the best strikers in Europe“, ahead of their league rivals remains to be seen.
