Manchester United line up a £106m bid for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly lining up a £106m bid for Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani.

The Red Devils will sign a new centre-forward during this summer's transfer window, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen believed to be their leading targets.

However, Man United are allegedly wary of entering into negotiations with Spurs, with the North London club's chairman Daniel Levy known as a tough negotiator.

Meanwhile, Napoli continue to insist that Osimhen will not be leaving during this summer's transfer window, which could force the 20-time English champions to look elsewhere.

According to Bild, Man United are planning a £106m move for Muani, with the striker set to be the subject of huge interest in the upcoming market.

The 24-year-old has scored 16 goals and registered 14 assists in 34 appearances for Frankfurt during the 2022-23 campaign, including 11 goals and 12 assists in 23 Bundesliga outings.

Muani has also found the back of the net on two occasions in the Champions League, with the German side still in the competition.

Frankfurt face a huge task when it comes to reaching the quarter-finals, though, as they trail Napoli 2-0 ahead of the second leg of their last-16 clash on Wednesday night.

Muani only moved to the Bundesliga team from Nantes last year, scoring 23 goals and registering 16 assists in 87 appearances for the French side in all competitions.

The striker also represented France at the 2022 World Cup, featuring on three occasions at the competition, including 79 minutes of the final against Argentina.

Marcus Rashford has been in excellent form for Man United this season, scoring 25 times in all competitions, but Anthony Martial has only found the back of the net on six occasions.

Martial, who has struggled with a number of fitness problems this season, could allegedly be on his way out of the club this summer on a permanent basis, while Facundo Pellistri and Anthony Elanga are being linked with loan exits.

Wout Weghorst has been a regular since his arrival on loan from Burnley, but as it stands, the Netherlands international will return to his parent club this summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo had been due to finish the season at Old Trafford, but the forward's explosive interview with Piers Morgan towards the end of last year saw his contract terminated by the Red Devils.
