He has not yet scored or really blazed since his debut with Tottenham, but Randal Kolo Muani will still return to the French team on Monday at Clairefontaine. Didier Deschamps appreciates his character and his versatility, and did not hesitate to call on the former Nantes player in the absence of Marcus Thuram or Ousmane Dembélé.
In the meantime, in a Tottenham attack where no one is really an indisputable starter, Randal Kolo Muani did not shine with Spurs against Manchester United this Saturday. The Londoners remained on a great success against Copenhagen (4-0) in the Champions League, with an assist from the native of Bondy for Wilson Odobert.
Unfortunately for Kolo Muani and Tottenham, the first half of this match against the Red Devils resembled the offensive purge proposed last weekend against Chelsea (0-1), with very few shots and almost no dangerous action.
In this unclear context, Kolo Muani was not necessarily in more difficulty than his attacking partners, Xavi Simons, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson. Last week, it was Xavi Simons who was entitled to a “sanction” from his coach Thomas Frank, by being taken off while he had entered the game. This time, it was the number 39 of “RKM” who appeared on the substitutions panel when Wilson Odobert entered at the start of the second half.
At the exit of Kolo Muani, Richarlison, who had started on the left, recovered the point of the attack. Odobert, a pure winger, took his place on the side.
