Dimitar Berbatov has urged Napoli's Victor Osimhen to sign for Manchester United instead of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
Osimhen became the envy of Europe's top clubs after a successful season in which the 24-year-old scored 25 Serie A goals as Napoli won their first Scudetto in 33 years.
Chelsea, Arsenal, United, Liverpool, PSG and Real Madrid are just some of the teams linked with the striker in recent weeks.
And Italian football pundit James Horncastle has told the BBC that Osimhen could cost potential suitors up to £130m.

However, Berbatov insists Osimhen must move to MU if the Old Trafford team has enough money to recruit this striker. Berbatov on the future of Osimhen
Former United and Tottenham striker Berbatov has told SPORTbible that Osimhen "should come" to United if a transfer is possible.
Osimhen is said to be genuinely interested in United, with the club also citing Tottenham's Harry Kane, Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund and Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani as alternatives.

And on the prospect of signing with Osimhen, Berbatov, speaking on behalf of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, said:
"I think he should go!" If United can find enough money to pick him up, they should go.
“The striker is amazing with the way he scores goals in open play, his runs and the way he finds space, especially in the box.
"So in my opinion, if United need a striker and I think they need the striker they need him."

Berbatov added that United are more likely to sign Osimhen than Kane this summer as Kane does not want to tarnish his Tottenham legacy. The two-time Premier League champion said:
“Well, going back a few seasons to Harry Kane was the obvious choice.
"You know, he's still here as someone associated with United and will probably be there all summer. Maybe we'll see another soap opera.
"But I think he will stay at Spurs because his legacy there is so great. His legacy is huge. He is their top scorer and when we talk about sports the first thing that comes to mind is Harry Kane.
