Manchester United are believed to be in talks over signing a “world-class” superstar in an intriguing swap deal, according to a new update.
A big summer awaits at Man Utd
The Red Devils have had an extremely disappointing season, with both Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim struggling to get a tune out of the team.
This summer feels like a huge one for United, with Amorim able to bring in players to suit his style of play and get rid of individuals who he doesn’t see a future for moving forward.
One player who has been linked with an exciting summer move to Old Trafford is Lille striker Jonathan David, who is arguably one of the hottest attackers in Europe.
He has scored 14 goals in just 20 Ligue 1 starts this season, also scoring seven times in the Champions League, including away to Liverpool.
At the other end of the pitch, Jarrad Branthwaite is a rumoured target, with the Everton centre-back a young defender with a huge amount of potential.
Additions are needed in that area of the pitch with Lisandro Martinez a long-term injury absentee, while the likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof don’t represent long-term solutions.
Man Utd in talks with “world-class” ace over swap deal
According to a new report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United are in talks to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils are eyeing a possible swap deal involving Rasmus Hojlund, with the Serie A giants thought to be keen on bringing the €60m-rated (£51m) star to the club.
This could be a sensational piece of business for United, considering Osimhen has been arguably among the best strikers in the world over the past three or four years.
The 26-year-old has been lauded as a “world-class” player by Jose Mourinho, while former Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro has also heaped praise on him, saying: “It is not easy to stop that guy. He created the first goal. He is fantastic for our team.”
With all due respect to Hojlund, Osimhen would simply be an upgrade on him, even though the Denmark striker is a young player who has shown his quality sporadically in a United shirt.

He’d be an instant upgrade…
There are now lingering doubts over whether Hojlund will ever be at the level required to be a genuine success at Old Trafford, having only scored three goals in 24 Premier League appearances this season.
In Osimhen, United would be signing a player at the peak of his powers – one who has netted 25 times in just 40 caps for Nigeria, outlining his international pedigree.
