Manchester United may pursue Victor Osimhen in the summer as Erik ten Hag eyes a proven goalscorer to bolster the squad.
The Red Devils had been linked to the Nigerian in recent transfer windows but a deal failed to ever materialise.
The forward is now showing United exactly what they’re missing as he is in prolific form for Napoli in Serie A and across Europe; netting nine goals and contributing two assists in 12 matches across all competitions.
A striker is one area United desperately need to reinforce.
Anthony Martial has sustained three separate injuries since August and has accumulated just 158 minutes of playing time so far this season. Cristiano Ronaldo is, obviously, not producing the same numbers he has in recent years at 37-years-old and is also reportedly seeking a move away from Manchester in January.
United must bolster forward options if they want to compete
Given the strength of the team elsewhere on the pitch, it’s clear the board need to prioritise the addition of a forward as soon as possible.
United will face added fixture congestion after the World Cup with the Europa League knockout round and rescheduled matches, and they will struggle if they fail to bolster their attacking options.
