Agent reveals Man Utd targeting Napoli striker Osimhen

A surprising team from the Premier League may become involved in the Victor Osimhen sweepstakes.

An Italian agent has tipped Manchester United to launch a bid for Osimhen in the coming months.

The Red Devils have been scouting the 25-year-old for many years, but are not thought to have the budget for a big money forward signing.

Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb, Roberto De Fanti noted: "I could say everyone, but the truth is that United above all are looking for a centre forward.

“[Rasmus] Hojlund is doing reasonably well, but the classic number No.9 - the [Erling] Haaland of the situation - could be Osimhen."

United are under new ownership in the sporting department, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking over those operations after buying a minority stake in the team.
