Two Premier League giants ‘REJECT chance to sign PSG star amid Man United interest – as asking price is revealed’
Manchester United may be forced to feed on the transfer market scraps that their Premier League rivals turned their noses up at.
Ruben Amorim is keen to sign another striker but with a limited budget he will likely have to make a sale first, with Rasmus Hojlund on the chopping block.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani is on United’s shortlist but it has emerged that Chelsea and Arsenal said no when offered him, according to ESPN.
Chelsea preferred Liam Delap and Joao Pedro while Arsenal are said to have held no interest in the wantaway Frenchman.
United have missed out on three major targets now as Delap signed for Chelsea, Hugo Ekitike joined Liverpool, and Viktor Gyokeres nears a £64million switch to Arsenal.
Kolo Muani is an option and ESPN reports that they could either sign him on loan with an obligation to buy, or pay £44m for him now.

Neither side were willing to take on the wantaway PSG star, who could cost £44million – but he e rediscovered his prolific form at Juventus on loan in the latter half of last campaign
Ruben Amorim wants another striker but may be forced to offload one of his men first
PSG signed Kolo Muani for £77m two years ago but he has only scored 11 goals for them and spent the latter half of last season on loan at Juventus.
He perked up in Italy and returned to the type of form we saw at Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 10 goals in 22 games for the Old Lady.
Kolo Muani was born in the Paris suburb of Bondy before progressing through the Nantes youth system and signing for Frankfurt in 2022.
It was there where he became a continental star, scoring 23 goals in the 2022-23 season and playing in the World Cup final for France.
United showed interest in the forward back in the summer of 2023, but ultimately opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund instead.
However, they face competition from Newcastle, who are also in the market for a striker due to Alexander Isak wanting to leave.
Man United have already strengthened their forward line this summer by agreeing a £71m deal for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m.
Going the other way, they have whisked Marcus Rashford out on loan to Barcelona, who he could join for £40m at the end of the season.
Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony are also expected to leave the club to help fund new signings.
