Manchester United are keen on bringing Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford next summer. As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the 23-year-old Napoli star features on a dossier of centre-forwards compiled by Erik ten Hag and senior members of the recruitment team.
Osimhen is the top scorer in Serie A and has eight goals for Napoli, who are eight points clear at the top of the Italian league. He appeals to United as he has thrived in two of the major European leagues, having played in Ligue 1 with Lille prior to his €80m transfer to Napoli in 2020.
Didier Drogba, the former Chelsea striker, is a huge fan of Osimhen judging by his past comments.
One incident in particular caught his attention. During Napoli's Champions League clash with Ajax last month, Osimhen allowed a fellow teammate to take a penalty rather than add to his own tally.
Taking to Twitter, Drogba wrote: "That’s a complete striker. Unselfishness… The real meaning of 'win as A TEAM'!!!!"
Drogba is not the first and is unlikely to be the last prominent pundit to be impressed by the Nigeria international. If his current run of goalscoring form continues then United are likely to face far more competition for his signature.

Awwwn poor manu fan, when last did you lift a trophy
Seen my team lift 20+ cups in my lifetime live and HD actually seen my team win every cup possible to win at club level 😂 arsenal on the other hand haven't, Nottingham forest and villa have a champions league before you you mad bro?, top of the table for now not all good things last, enjoy it while you can before you see Manchester City lift the 22/23 season title 😂 your best season in years and you still can't even win united 3-1 easy win well deserved. Better luck next time.

So what will he win at your dead club
Could win Europa league better chance than arsenal last two times we got to the final first try, EFL Cup better chance than arsenal knocked out already 😂, FA Cup can all be won at United, we just need to drop Ronaldo and we will have a better chance of winning we bet all the top 4 teams this season bar City without Ronaldo tbf.
