Manchester United are reportedly preparing a ‘pharaonic’ offer for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
It is no secret that the Red Devils will be on the lookout for a new forward come the end of the season. It is widely believed, considering his age and injury status this season, that Edinson Cavani will be on his way out of Old Trafford in the summer.
Ralf Rangnick has also put on record that a striker is one of the areas he would like to see improved. With that in mind Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla has reported that United want Osimhen to be theirs.

The 23-year-old Nigerian has scored 11 goals in 22 appearances for Napoli this season. He joined the Italian side from Lille in 2020.
Speaking via FC Inter 1908, Pedulla claimed: "It’s true. Napoli have enquired about Gianluca Scamacca, and according to our reconstructions, it would be an attempt linked to a possible pharaonic proposal for Victor Osimhen next summer.
"The proposal could be that of Manchester United. The voices of recent days are coupled with what his brother declared some time ago when he spoke of a courtship from the Red Devils.
"He chose not to join because there was another Nigerian there at the time (Odion Ighalo) and Osimhen didn’t want to compete."
