Without a genuine striker after parting ways with Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United are struggling to solve the problem already this winter and are looking for a solution to achieve their goals this season.

Despite initial talk of Bayern Munich’s Chupo Moting, Erik ten Hag wants a young striker who can make an instant impact at Old Trafford.

Viktor Osymen, the main favorite of Eric ten Haag

Victor Osimen, who arrived at Naples in the summer of 2020 for €75 million from Lille, is a top target for the Old Trafford side this winter.

However, the English have to find a solution to agree with the Italians, because the owner of “Napoli” Aurelio de Laurentiis wants to receive around 100 million euros in exchange for the 23-year-old Nigerian forward.

Osimen has scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in 14 appearances for Napoli this season and currently has a market share of €75 million.

Cody Gakpo, United’s emergency decision for the striker position

If no consensus is reached with Napoli for Victor Osimene, Manchester United will change their profile and not give up on the transfer of Cody Gakpo.

The 23-year-old is enjoying a fantastic season with PSV Eindhoven and has already scored twice for the Netherlands at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Hakpo has 13 goals and 17 assists this season for PSV Eindhoven and the Dutchman is currently valued at €45m according to Transfermarkt. Before signing Antony from Ajax, United made a €30m bid for the PSV player, but the Dutchmen rejected it.
