MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly one of two Premier League clubs chasing Hirving “Chucky” Lozano.
The 27-year-old Mexican international is currently starring for Napoli in Italy.
The forward moved to Serie A from PSV in 2019 and has scored 20 goals in 95 matches since.
He was initially linked with a move to England during his time in Holland, and other reports have surfaced over more recent times.
Everton were considering a swoop for the ace, who is under contract until 2024, when Carlo Ancelotti, who managed him at Napoli, was in charge.
They continue to hold an interest despite Frank Lampard now being at the helm.

Now Lozano’s former agent, Alessandro Monfrecola, has claimed that both the Toffees and United could sign his client at the end of the season.
Monfrecola told Gonfia la Rete: “Next June, Lozano will leave in my opinion, also because he earns over 4 million at Napoli.
“Although he is delighted to be here, he has never hidden that he aspired to the top English clubs, although now he is probably realising that Napoli itself is a top club.
“He has never hidden that he loves Barcelona and Real Madrid, but unless Ancelotti falls in love with him again, he has no market.”

He added: “I think he could land in Manchester United or Everton.
“This does not exclude that other English teams could enter the negotiation.
“My personal prediction is that he will leave in June, but he is very happy here.”
Lozano is nicknamed “Chucky” in his homeland.
He earned that after hiding under beds and jumping out on his team-mates.
