Manchester United 'frontrunners' in Victor Osimhen pursuit and more transfer rumours

Manchester United are reportedly among the frontrunners to sign Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.

United face a busy summer with the arrival of Erik ten Hag as well as a number of high-profile exits in midfield and up front. With Edinson Cavani set to leave the club upon the expiry of his contract, it leaves only Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford as options to lead the line.

Osimhen has caught the eye of a number of clubs following a scintillating season with Napoli. The 23-year-old has 17 goals in all competitions, with United understood to be keeping tabs on the youngster.

Italian outlet Sports Mediaset claims United are at the front of the queue for the Napoli talisman, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis failing to rule out an exit in the summer. Newcastle are also said to be monitoring the attacker, who is said to have a price tag of €100m (£85m).

Elsewhere, a number of Serie A clubs are reportedly eyeing a move for United playmaker Jesse Lingard. The 29-year-old will be a free agent in the summer and looks unlikely to extend his deal at Old Trafford.

Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has claimed that AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma are all looking to sign Lingard. Newcastle and West Ham have also been linked.
