Manchester United are struggling to convert their chances into goals, with little success since Ruben Amorim has joined the club.
Whilst the club are improving in some aspects, recent results like the 3-0 loss to Bournemouth and the error plagued 4-3 loss to Tottenham are leaving much room for improvement.
The biggest concern, as highlighted by Roy Keane at the start of the season, is in their strikers.
With only Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee as out-and-out strikers, United are without a prolific goalscorer up front.
Marcus Rashford had a stand out, 30 goal season a few years back, but he’s been some way off matching this since then, with Erik ten Hag opting to play him on the wing.
Now, with Rashford set to depart the club next year and United wanting £40 million for their academy graduate, The Red Devils are now looking for a clinical finisher to head up their attack.
So far the club have been linked with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting and Jonathan David of LOSC Lille.
However, Sky Sports have now confirmed that United have been in contact with the representatives of Victor Osimhen.

Manchester United advance talks for Victor Osimhen
The Nigerian striker is currently contracted to Napoli, however on loan with Galatasaray lighting up the Turkish Super Lig.
The 25-year-old has currently grabbed 12 goals and five assists in 15 games for Galatasaray, helping the side hold their position at the top of the league table.
However, with the striker contracted to Napoli, the Serie A side could pull the star back from loan to sell him on in January with interest from some top European clubs, including United and Chelsea.
The main issue for United is his price tag. Napoli have a valuation of £62 million for the striker who is set to enter his final year with the Italian club this summer.
With United’s transfer budget looking limited going forward, this price tag could prove too costly, unless significant sales can be made.
