Randal Kolo Muani has finally broken his silence — and it’s not the music to ears that Manchester United fans were hoping to listen.
The French forward, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, has made it clear where he plans to be when the FIFA Club World Cup kicks off this summer.
Kolo Muani’s time in Turin has been short but sweet. After a frustrating spell at PSG, the move to Juventus gave him fresh legs and a second wind.
In just a few months, he’s bagged eight goals and chipped in with assists, reminding everyone why top clubs across Europe — including Manchester United — are keeping a close eye on him.
But if you're a United fan hoping for a transfer twist, this might not be your kind of plot.

Randal Kolo Muani makes his transfer stance clear
Speaking after France’s 2-0 Nations League win over Germany, Kolo Muani told L'Equipe:
“I’m very happy to have been able to play a little more, whether for the national team or for my club. I’m very happy at Juventus, I hope to continue there. They welcomed me well, and I’m enjoying it. I’m going with them to the Club World Cup.”
Those aren’t the words of a man packing his bags anytime soon.
There’s just one hiccup — Juventus don’t have an option to buy. PSG still own the striker, and his contract runs until 2028.
But Juve now want to sit back at the negotiating table, especially with Kolo Muani eager to stay. His form, attitude, and fit with the squad have all ticked the right boxes.
For United, this likely means one name off their summer wishlist — unless they’re ready to outbid both Juve and Kolo Muani’s own wishes.
At 26, he’s entering his prime. With the Club World Cup around the corner and teams like Manchester City and Al-Ain on the schedule, it’s the perfect stage to show what he’s made of.
