Manchester United's long-term interest in Harry Kane is well-documented, as he has been their number one attack target this summer having scored 30 goals in all competitions this season, including 28 goals in the league only.
However, Osimhen would not be a bad choice, as the Nigerian striker scored 28 goals in all competitions to help Napoli win the Scudetto for the first time in more than 30 years, as Osimhen became one of the top scorers. Europe.
Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with United before, but the Serb appears to be the least attractive of the trio, having scored 14 goals in all competitions this season. In midfield, there are 3 top targets: Adrien Rabiot, Frenkie de Jong and Alexis Mac Allister.

Rabiot and de Jong both looked set to join the Red Devils last summer but neither move came to fruition for a variety of reasons.
Rabiot is expected to leave Turin this summer on a free transfer, which will make it easier to close the deal and shorten the negotiations as it only needs to be done with the player.

De Jong at United seemed certain last summer would eventually become the club's annual transfer story, although he ultimately decided to stay at Barcelona - despite his status at the club. The club could still be in doubt due to Barcelona's financial difficulties. Advertisement
Mac Allister has become a star at Brighton this season, helping lead the Seagulls into the top six, although it appears Liverpool are in a key position to secure the Argentine's signature.
Although MU already has Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing, it seems that Sheikh Jassim wants to strengthen this squad even more, with two main goals being Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kingsley Coman.
Kvaratskhelia has surprised them all this season, appearing as a flash of light for Napoli as they won the Scudetto, teaming up with Osimhen to help create the most dangerous attack in Serie A this season as the 22-year-old has scored 12 goals and 10 goals. support within the Federation.
Kingsley Coman has been linked with the Red Devils before and has not been able to move there from Bayern Munich.

Ronald Araujo and Kim Minjae. Captain Harry Maguire is set to leave Old Trafford this summer, which means United will need another defender to replace him.
Araujo recently signed a new contract at Barcelona, ??although he would make an excellent addition to United's backline.
