Man Utd serious about signing Napoli star

Manchester United have a serious interest in signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have had a dismal Premier League campaign and they are currently sixth in the standings with 58 points.

The club are set for a season without Champions League football, but this may not hamper their summer transfer plans.

The hierarchy are prepared to back new manager Erik ten Hag with funds. A new striker will be one of the priorities.

Osimhen has been frequently linked of late, and La Repubblica claims United have a serious interest in landing him.

The Nigerian has had an injury-plagued season, but has still impressed with 17 goals and six assists from 30 appearances.

Despite his importance, Napoli are not averse to the idea of him leaving if they receive a fee of around €90 million.

United are likely to make their move, but could face stiff competition from Newcastle, who are reportedly 'crazy over him'.
