It remains to be seen if Barcelona would even be willing to let Lopez leave the club this month, but United&#8217;s interest shows the club are certainly being ambitious in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Randal Kolo Muani boost<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">United are continuing to be linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">The France international was on loan at Juventus for the second half of last season, and the Serie A giants were reported to be keen on re-signing the striker this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">However, Le Parisien have claimed that a proposed move to Juve has stalled, giving clubs like United a chance to swoop in and secure a deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">It has been claimed that United are continuing to monitor Kolo Muani&#8217;s future with a view to making a potential move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">MEN Sport says:<\/strong> Kolo Muani has been linked with a move to United for several weeks, although Juventus have always been the favourites to sign the striker if he was to leave PSG this summer. If a move to Turin does fall through, it would not be a surprise to see United be in the running to get a deal over the line.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/0_GettyImages-2187128692.jpg\" alt=\"\"  \/>Get United transfer news and updates on WhatsApp!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Our team of Manchester United experts are on top of all the goings-on at Old Trafford for this week and beyond, and you can get the latest team news, injury updates, reaction and analysis along with inside information to your phone by joining our new <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/B5dw9xqKkzMC2U7R4ZRscA\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">free WhatsApp community<\/a>.
