Manchester United Hopefully the worst is behind them now. it’s not easy Ruben Amorim So far with the Portuguese coach Played 12 games since taking office At Old Trafford.

In that time, the Red Devils have won just four games, drawing two and losing six. Their defense struggled and conceded more goals than they scored, specifically 23 goals conceded compared to 19 goals scored.

However, the foundation has begun to be laid. Jamie Carragher points out Following United’s 2-2 draw away to Liverpool, which was “almost a win in terms of the manager’s system”, there were early signs of positive progress.

Manchester United eyeing new attacker

The player in question here is Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward Randall Kolo Mouani. The 26-year-old is almost certain to leave the French capital this winter, but for now the destination needs to be soon.

However, Florian Plettenberg, Sky Sports GermanyIn January this year, plans for a move to the Red Devils “became more concrete” and the English club are “now determined to do everything possible to secure his transfer as soon as possible”.

He started the new season in a very strong manner, scoring a goal against Le Havre on the opening day of the season. Two games later, he came on as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Lille and scored his second goal of the season.

Although Kolo Muani is having a difficult season at PSG in 2024/25, he has proven that he can be a lethal all-round attacker.
