Man United spends huge amount of money to get Victor Osimhen

Man United are looking for ways to recruit Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

After a brilliant comeback to defeat Man City, Man United has truly proven its strength in the Premier League this year.

However, the team's attack line has not really met the requirements and is in dire need of quality reinforcements in the near future. According to sources from the British press, MU is trying very hard to negotiate with Napoli about the Victor Osimhen deal.

Victor Osimhen is on Man United's radar.

According to the British newspaper Daily Express, 133 million pounds will be the huge amount that Man United is willing to pay Napoli to bring the striker who has been in impressive form in Serie A in recent seasons.

The Red Devils hope to sign Napoli's Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window when everything is ready. Wout Weghorst recently became the Red Devils' winter recruit.

However, with his unproven ability and being 30 years old, the Dutch striker is only a temporary solution for Man United.

According to sources, coach Erik Ten Hag is currently trying to convince the MU Board of Directors to sign a contract with the Ajax trio of Jurrien Timber, Devyne Rensch and Kenneth Taylor. However, Ajax will not let Man United "gut" easily when they still have many goals in the coming period.
