According to Corriere dello Sport, United have made their interest in the French forward known and are willing to meet PSG’s €50 million asking price.
Kolo Muani spent the latter part of last season on loan at Juventus, and the Italian club want to make the move permanent.
However, United’s interest could trigger a transfer domino effect, with the Premier League side considering using Rasmus Hojlund as compensation.
Hojlund struggled in his debut season at Old Trafford, and a switch to Juventus could help United unlock the Kolo Muani deal.
PSG, who paid €93 million for Kolo Muani in 2023, are eager to sell and raise funds for other targets.
The striker is also keen to continue working with Juve boss Igor Tudor, making this a complex transfer triangle, reports Football 365.
Despite signing Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, United legend Rio Ferdinand insists they still need a proven goalscorer.
He believes Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins fits the bill, but Kolo Muani’s availability presents a tempting, high-profile alternative for the Red Devils.
