However, Osimhen's high price tag and the presence of Marcus Rashford in the squad may make it difficult for him to join Manchester United. If Rashford stays and performs well under manager Michael Carrick, there may be limited space for Osimhen in the squad.

Manchester United is also exploring other options, including Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi, who both have Premier League experience. Additionally, the club is keeping an eye on free agents Dusan Vlahovic and Robert Lewandowski as they weigh their transfer options.

In the end, the decision to pursue Osimhen will depend on the club's overall strategy and budget for the summer transfer window.
