United face stiff competition for the striker.
Chelsea and Arsenal are both also on the lookout for attacking reinforcements.
INEOS are known for preferring young players with future resale value, but Amorim has made clear exceptions can be made.
If any striker is worth breaking that strategy for, it is Victor Osimhen.
With Viktor Gyokeres looking increasingly out of reach, United cannot afford to hesitate.
Should Osimhen slip away, an immediate pivot to alternatives like Liam Delap would be essential.
The striker has made his position clear — now the ball is firmly in Manchester United’s court.
