Man United preparing Surprise January bid for ‘World-class’ Napoli striker -Reports

Manchester United reportedly hold “concrete interest” in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray.

Rasmus Hojlund put on a spectacular display during United’s 3-2 Europa League victory over FK Bodø/Glimt on Thursday.

His fierce and strategic pushing helped his team score their first goal, and he went on to score the Red Devils’ following two goals to prevent yet another humiliating defeat in Europe.

Hojlund, who was benched in Amorim’s first game as United’s manager, performed admirably in the second game to earn a place in the starting lineup.

He still has a ways to go before he can be counted on as an offensive danger under Amorim, though.

In the midst of this, the Premier League’s biggest clubs have been associated with several European goal scorers.

Reports in Italy have thrown Osimhen’s name into the mix.

According to a report in Area Napoli (via Sport Witness), United are considering signing the Nigerian striker, who has set the Turkish football alight with six goals and two assists in just seven Super Lig appearances.

It is claimed that his performances with Galatasaray have piqued interest from several clubs, and the 25-year-old is seen as a “credible option” for the Mancunians.

Il Mattino, relayed by Area Napoli, suggest that United want the prolific forward in January and are prepared to make a player plus cash offer.

The player in their proposal would be Joshua Zirzkee, who has attracted interest from Italy after a tough start in England.

Accordingly, the Premier League giants are ready to use him to bring Osimhen to Old Trafford.

However, it is added that at the moment, Napoli aren’t too keen on Zirkzee moving to Naples as part of the deal for Osimhen
