Manchester United are acting on a mega-money bid that would see Napoli striker Victor Osimhen trade the Serie A for the Premier League if it all comes to fruition.

What's the word?

That is according to La Repubblica, via Sport Witness, who claim that Manchester United "have already come forward" for the 23-year-old striker "with an offer of €100 million" (£84m).

Corriere dello Sport's report is along the same lines, with the outlet stating that Manchester United and Arsenal "may make a sacrifice (a big bid) that would make him happy."

The report states that "Napoli would not falter" if they were "faced with an indecent proposal worth €110 million" (£92.5m), but would "let the deal happen."

United's "Lion Heart"

If there is one thing that Manchester United need in the side, it is heart. Previously dubbed a "Lion Heart", Osimhen brings that in abundance.

The 23-year-old has had a tough upbringing. His mother died when he was still a child and his father lost his job three months later. He sold bottled water in the middle of traffic to help his family get by financially.

It seems as though his work ethic has transitioned into his play style on the pitch, with Osimhen willing to graft from the front in order to win back possession for his side. The Nigeria international's match average of 10.31 pressures in the attacking third are elite level, as per FBref, and fit perfectly with the pressing system that Erik ten Hag will seek to employ at the Old Trafford side.

Osimhen is enjoying yet another prosperous season at Napoli in Serie A, with his five times in a row.

With two goals) combined.

With his average of 3.89 shots total per 90, he pips that of Erling Haaland's average of 3.65, with the Norwegian previously linked.

His threat up top could see him become a talismanic figure for the Red Devils, and with his link as a similar player to Erling Haaland, as per FBref, he could well be United's version of the Dortmund sensation.
