With over half of the January transfer window gone, Manchester United has yet to make any significant moves for their senior team. However, key developments in the transfer market could have a domino effect on the club's plans.
One major move involves Randal Kolo Muani, a forward from PSG who was expected to leave this January. Despite reports that United were willing to do "everything possible" to sign him on a six-month loan with a buy option, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Kolo Muani will join Juventus on loan until June, with no purchase clause included. The French striker has accepted the proposal and will undergo medical tests in Turin.
This move not only removes a potential forward option for United but also impacts the situation of Joshua Zirkzee. Previously linked with a move to Juventus, Zirkzee's future at United now seems more secure, as Juventus's acquisition of Kolo Muani likely rules out their interest in Zirkzee. The young forward can now focus on establishing himself at United, with no other clubs currently linked to him.
Fabrizio Romano's announcement effectively concludes two transfer sagas for United: one incoming with Kolo Muani and one outgoing with Zirkzee, highlighting the interconnected nature of the transfer market.
