'Pay the money!' - Manchester United fans send Victor Osimhen transfer message to the board

Manchester United supporters have begged the club to turn to Victor Osimhen in this forthcoming summer's transfer window after he scored twice in Napoli's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last night.

The Nigeria international, who is a firm target for United ahead of the summer, found the back of the net either side of the half-time interval to help the Serie A table-toppers reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the very first time in their history. They won the tie 5-0 on aggregate after winning the first leg 2-0 in Germany last month.

Osimhen, who recently admitted that it is his "dream" to play in the Premier League, opened the scoring right on the stroke of half-time, converting an outstanding header. He rose highest in the penalty area to connect with Matteo Politano's delivery and his looping header left Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp with absolutely no chance.

He netted his and Napoli's second of the night just eight minutes into the second half, sliding the ball home from close range after connecting with Giovanni Di Lorenzo's low cross. That marked his fourth goal in the Champions League this season.

The 24-year-old, who was shortlisted as a target by United back in November, has now scored 23 goals in 28 appearances in all competitions this season, meaning it is easy to understand why so many clubs are keen on securing his signature. United are poised to prioritise the addition of a striker this forthcoming summer and Osimhen, along with Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane, is a leading target.

Many Reds supporters believe that Osimhen would be a better fit than Kane, pointing to his blistering pace and Erik ten Hag's preference
