'Even if he's £150m' - Rio Ferdinand names his dream signing for Manchester United this summer

Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United to snub Rasmus Hojlund and spent their entire transfer budget on Victor Osimhen if they can't sign Harry Kane.

United are tracking all three of the aforementioned forwards this summer but Erik ten Hag would need to spend a huge portion of his budget to bring any of them to Old Trafford. Atalanta reportedly want in excess of €80million Hojlund, who scored nine goals in Serie A last season.

Equally, Napoli have been stubborn with their valuation of Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is said to be valued at over £100m after netting 26 goals in the league last season.

With Tottenham Hotspur unwilling to part with Kane, Ferdinand believes United should go all in for Osimhen. He doesn't believe the club should gamble on 20-year-old Hojlund because he is not 'ready-made' to lead the line for United.

“I'd sign Kane in a heartbeat," he told FIVE. "He has gone under the radar because of [Erling] Haaland but I am not waiting and playing games in July.

"If he said no, I'd move straight on to Osimhen. Even if he's £150m, do it.

"Look at the market. Who else is there? There’s no one ready-made."

On Hojlund, he added: "He’s not ready-made, ain’t done it properly at the top consistently. You’re buying him off the back of a season.”

United have also scouted Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, who is liked by Bayern Munich. It remains to be seen whether United will have the funds to pull off a deal such as Kane or Osimhen.
