Manchester United hold ‘first meeting’ over Victor Osimhen deal

Manchester United have held talks over the possibility of signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as the club seeks to bolster its attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window.

United’s misfiring frontline has come under scrutiny, with just 42 goals scored in 35 Premier League outings. Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee have underwhelmed—netting a combined seven league goals—prompting growing urgency for reinforcements.

New manager Ruben Amorim is believed to have prioritised the acquisition of a proven centre-forward, and Osimhen, who is expected to leave Napoli this summer, is on a shortlist of potential candidates.

The Super Eagles forward rose to prominence at Lille before a high-profile move to Naples, where he has scored 76 goals and registered 17 assists in 133 appearances. A central figure in Napoli’s 2023 Scudetto triumph, Osimhen is widely praised for his pace, physicality, and finishing prowess.
