MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly getting “weekly” updates on Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres’ availability.
The Red Devils are hoping to bring a new frontman to Old Trafford in the summer, which is expected to bring about the permanent departure of Marcus Rashford.
United are long-term admirers of both Osimhen and Gyokeres, who are plying their trades with Galatasaray and Sporting Lisbon respectively.
And according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League big boys are receiving regular updates on the duo.
He wrote in his Give Me Sport column: “There are a lot of rumours about Manchester United as they’re attentive to several situations including Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres.
“But the budget is going to be crucial to understand what they can really do in the summer in terms of spending, investments and limitations for Financial Fair Play.

“So there is nothing concrete or advanced yet, they are just being informed on the situation with weekly updates.
“Sources close to the story guarantee that all rumours on Man United scouts travelling to follow Osimhen’s progress at Galatasaray are wide of the mark.
“As they don’t even need to ‘check’ on this kind of player.
“They like him, but the financial package will make the difference. The same as for Gyokeres.”
