Manchester United, known as the Red Devils, have been monitoring Victor Osimhen for the past two years, and the arrival of Ruben Amorim as head coach could accelerate their pursuit of the Nigerian striker.
According to Torizone, the former Premier League champions are reportedly preparing an offer for Osimhen that includes a cash sum along with Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee to entice Napoli into a deal.
United have faced a difficult couple of seasons, leading to the dismissal of Erik ten Hag shortly before the recent international break. Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese tactician, was brought in as his replacement and officially began his tenure last week. His appointment is expected to usher in significant changes at Old Trafford, particularly in terms of squad dynamics.

To accommodate Amorim’s tactical vision, several players are expected to leave the club during the next two transfer windows. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has re-emerged as a top target for the Red Devils. Despite interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal in the past, neither managed to secure his signature, leaving Napoli to arrange a temporary deal with the Turkish giants.
As reported by Fanatik, Manchester United are now intensifying their efforts to land Osimhen, proposing a deal that involves Zirkzee and cash. However, Napoli remains firm in their demand for a cash-only offer and have set Osimhen’s price at approximately €75 million. While an agreement has yet to be reached, United may need to meet this valuation to secure their man when his loan spell concludes.
