Manchester United’s season has been nothing short of a disaster, with problems all across the pitch.
Following a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, the club now sit 15th in the Premier League, despite having multiple chances to score.
The lack of firepower has been a glaring issue, with Rasmus Hojlund struggling badly this season at Old Trafford.
The Danish striker has failed to make any real impact as a natural number nine, leaving United without a reliable focal point.
Joshua Zirkzee has shown glimpses of improvement, but he is not a traditional striker capable of leading the line.
United spent heavily on Hojlund last summer, and they may now have to do the same again – but this time on a proven goalscorer.
Manchester United scouts pay visit to watch Victor Osimhen
That search has led them to Victor Osimhen.
TBR Football have revealed that United sent scouts to watch him in action on Monday.
The Napoli striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray, delivered once again, scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Rizespor.
His brace took him to 19 goals in 24 appearances this season, reinforcing his status as one of Europe’s deadliest strikers.
It is well-known that Napoli are keen to finalise Osimhen’s departure this summer, with multiple clubs still interested.
Manchester United and Chelsea remain in the race, with both sides desperate for attacking reinforcements.
United’s scouts were among more than half a dozen clubs present at Monday’s match as they continue to track the 26-year-old.

Chelsea, who failed in an attempt to sign him last summer, are also keeping close tabs on his situation.
Victor Osimhen signed a new contract with Napoli in December 2023, including a release clause of around £100 million.
That fee will drop to approximately £65 million in the summer, making him a more realistic target for interested clubs.
Many questioned his move to the Turkish Super Lig, but he has silenced any doubts with his outstanding form.
His performances have ensured he remains on the radar of Europe’s top sides, with a big transfer almost certain this summer.
Galatasaray are on course to win the Turkish title, and Osimhen has been a key factor in their success.
United need a proven goalscorer.
Osimhen may well be the answer to that.
