As a result, United have put a contingency plan in place, with Osimhen the next in line. According to ESPN, United are also monitoring the situation of Osimhen in Naples.
Osimhen is a target for a host of Europe’s top clubs this summer, with Man Utd leading the race for his services.

United are aware of Osimhen’s strengths as a striker and are ready to make a move for him this summer if they are unable to sign Kane.
However, the Red Devils will have to pay a fee above €100m to sign Osimhen as Napoli are not interested in selling their top man, and will only sell if they receive a suitable offer.
