Man United's next transfer 'sealed' after loan agreement amid Ruben Amorim blow
Manchester United are set to miss out on Paris Saint-Germain star Randal Kolo Muani this month to leave Ruben Amorim back to square one in his bid to add reinforcements to his squad.
The striker had been linked with a loan move to Old Trafford with MEN Sport understanding that United had not ruled out the possibility of that move.
Amorim is currently rotating between Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee at centre-forward so far but the pair have managed just 11 goals between them this season. A number of centre-forwards have been linked with a move to Old Trafford since the window opened.

However, Kolo Muani won't be moving to England this window. Reports on Tuesday from Fabrizio Romano claimed that the France international would move to Juventus on loan for the rest of the season after an agreement was sealed between the two clubs.
There is no option to buy at the end of the campaign meaning it could be a situation United revisit in the summer. Right now, Amorim is back to square one in his pursuit of a new centre-forward.
Viktor Gyokeres remains a target for United but Sporting CP aren't expected to sanction any move for him this window. Victor Osimhen could be available while Dusan Vlahovic is another name who could be on their radar.
There are other areas of the squad that need reinforcements though, including at left-back. Nuno Mendes, another PSG player, has been linked with a reunion with Amorim after Luke Shaw's injury.
