Manchester United have an advantage in the race to Victor Osimhen from Napoli in the next transfer window.
The Red Devils are long-term admirers of the Nigeria international and they attempted to land him last summer.
The club proposed a swap deal involving Cristiano Ronaldo but Napoli immediately snubbed the proposal.
A fresh move is expected this summer and Il Mattino claim that United have an edge over their rivals in the race.
The Red Devils have already been in contact with Napoli and Osimhen's agent and this could benefit them.
Still, he won't come on the cheap for any European club. Napoli are firm on their €160 million price tag for him.
It is left to be seen whether the Red Devils can afford the price, considering they are in the process of a takeover.
No funds will be available under the Glazers' final decision. If they end up staying, United may not sign Osimhen.
The Glazers are unlikely to cough up such amounts of money on a single player in the summer transfer window.
