MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly ready to launch a £107million bid for Victor Osimhen.
That’s as they look for striker alternatives to Harry Kane this summer.
Erik ten Hag is keen on boosting his attacking options once he has money to spend.
And the Mail claims Osimhen has emerged as a top target following a barnstorming season with Napoli.
The Nigeria international has 16 goals in 17 league games, sending his side 13 points clear at the top of the table.
Osimhen, who is also wanted by Chelsea, is believed to have a £107m release clause in his contract.

And United are apparently willing to meet it as Ten Hag looks to build a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.
Should a deal go through, it would match the Premier League record fee set by Chelsea on deadline day for Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
But, despite their interest in Osimhen, United still remain keen on Tottenham star and England captain Kane.
The striker refused to commit his future to the Londoners after breaking Jimmy Greaves’ scoring record against Man City.

And United would love to bring Kane to the Theatre of Dreams as his contract dwindles down.
But Spurs are reportedly unwilling to sell their key player, especially to a rival.
Yet that could open the door for a free transfer switch in 2024 when Kane’s Tottenham deal finally comes to an end.
