United is interested in strengthening their attack options this summer and aligned the 26-year-old as the man so that they can fire again.
However, their efforts to sign Osimhen may not be uncomplicated due to the wages of the player and his efforts to play in the Champions League.
Osimhen, whose wages are £ 200 a week, belongs to a selected group of strikers on the market this summer, in which Napoli can complete a deal for the Nigerian.
Reports claim that Paris Saint-Germain also keep an eye on Osimhen, and Randal Kolo Muani will almost certainly leave French champions this summer.
PSG was able to try again to combine Osimhen with the former partner in crime Khvicha Kvaratskhelia after the couple fired Napoli on the title of Serie A in 2023.
But Osimhen could choose to try a new league that Ligue 1 has already tried with Lille, and previously spoke of his wish to play in England.
“Future in the Premier League? Of course I would like to play it one day, now I have other plans for my career. When the time comes, you will know everything, ”said Osimhen last year.

However, it remains to be seen what United provides with profit and sustainability rules (PSR) and continues to carry out chaos with its squad resolutions.

In Osimhen’s heroic deeds during the 2022/23 campaign, he quickly increased in European football.
During the title winner of the Neapolitan, he scored 26 goals in 32 games and was appointed African player of the year for 2023.
At the end of 2023 Osimhen signed a new bumper contract with Napoli when they wanted to protect their asset in expectation of a considerable offer.
The deal contained a release clause of £ 113 million, but its inability to support its torecoring statistics from the previous year meant that the great rackets of Europe were temporarily to have an offer.
The appointment of Antonio Conte as the Napoli boss last summer seemed to be the last nail in the coffin for Osimhen, with the former Spurs boss preferred Romelu Lukaku to direct the line.
