Manchester United are currently weighing up options in attack after a poor run this season.
Strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to provide consistency in front of goal, with Hojlund going 20-games without a goal contribution.
As such, Ruben Amorim has been reliant on Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo as the club’s top goalscorers this season.
Now, United’s recruitment team are highlighting in-form strikers who could move to Old Trafford this summer, providing more consistency and reliability in the final third.
The Red Devils had begun lining up a swap-deal involving Rasmus Hojlund and Napoli reject Victor Osimhen, hoping to upgrade from the Danish striker.
It’s known that Antonio Conte is a huge fan of Hojlund, and despite Osimhen’s incredible run of form on loan with Galatasaray, the manager has no intention of integrating him into his team in Serie A.
As such, United were looking at a mutually beneficial deal, which now might be on the brink of collapse.

Swap deal for Victor Osimhen to fall through
New reports from Sky Sport Switzerland has reported that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has indicated a swap deal for the star might be off the table.
Whist it’s known that Osimhen will be moving from The Azzurri permanently this summer, a transfer for the star won’t come cheap.
The report explains that De Laurentiis has indicated Osimhen will be sold to the highest bidder, with hopes of sparking a bidding war for the Nigerian striker.
As such it’s hard to believe that the club would entertain a swap-deal for out of form Hojlund when Osimhen has a release clause of £63 million.
United could still offer Hojlund plus a transfer fee in an attempt to lower the cost of the deal, however, with Europe’s elite also monitoring Osimhen, United may have to cough up if they choose to pursue him further.
