Manchester United handed fresh boost in striker hunt, despite Bayern Munich bidding for Harry Kane: report

Manchester Unitedare prioritising the signing of a striker this summer transfer window, with Harry Kane and Rasmus Hojlund both touted as potential arrivals at Old Trafford.

And whileBayern Munichhave bid €70m plus add-ons for Harry Kane, as reported byThe Athletic, Manchester United have actually been handed a boost in their search for a new goalscorer.

Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund is another name linked with the Red Devils, but the Atalanta man is still only 20 and not completely prolific – he managed 10 goals in 34 appearances last season. There is a sense that the player still needs to improve his finishing and heading, and is still a long way from his prime years.

However, the latest developments surrounding Victor Osimhen are positive for Erik ten Hag’s team, withGazzetta dello Sportreporting thatNapolirejected a €100m offer fromPSGfor the Nigerian centre-forward.

The Serie A champions’ chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis reportedly values Osimhen at around double that rejected fee, though, meaning he won’t come cheap.

Regardless, the Italian outlet suggests an auction could be sparked following PSG’s failed bid, withLiverpoolandNewcastle Unitedalso set to join Manchester United in the race for the 24-year-old who finished as Serie A top scorer last season with 26 goals, helping Napoli secure their first Scudetto in over 30 years.
