Manchester United 'ready to launch £107m summer bid for Napoli star striker Victor Osimhen' as Reds boss Erik ten Hag seeks to solve his striker crisis by landing the Serie A top scorer

Manchester United are reportedly prepared to break the bank and match the British transfer record Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez by launching a £107m bid for Victor Osimhen.

The Napoli striker has become United's top summer transfer target off the back of impressive performances that have seen him score 16 goals and become Serie A's top scorer.

Osimhen continued his stunning form with a brace in Napoli's 3-0 away win over Spezia on Sunday that saw them extend their lead at the top of the Italian league to 13 points.

United first-team manager Erik ten Hag has had to rely on an injury-prone Anthony Martial and January loanee Wout Weghorst to lead the line in United's three-pronged attack this season.
