Manchester United renew interest in Osimhen amidst Napoli disagreement

Manchester United are set to profit from the strained relationship that Victor Osimhen has with Napoli.

It is being speculated that the struggling Premiership side could offer Osimhen an escape route from Napoli, Manchester Evening News has reported.

The Nigerian has fallen out with his club after spearheading their successful title charge last term.

He scored 26 league goals to help bring the Scudetto back to Naples for the first time in 30 years.

Osimhen has now deleted all posts that contain references to Napoli from his Instagram account, indicating that the player may be desperate to leave the club.

This came in the aftermath of two clips uploaded by the club’s official social media team, apparently mocking the striker for missing a penalty against Bologna, going viral on social media over the weekend.

Osimhen was high on Erik ten Hag’s summer wish list of top-class centre-forward during the transfer window before eventually signing Rasmus Hojlund from fellow Serie A side Atalanta.
