Man Utd 'ready to invest' £107m in summer transfer to back Erik ten Hag

Manchester United are ready to shell out €120million (£107m) on Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen to boost Erik ten Hag's squad in the summer transfer window, it's been claimed.

The Nigerian striker, 24, has scored a scintillating 16 goals to help his side move 13 points clear at the top of Serie A, but Napoli are braced for bids come July. United are need of a long-term striking solution after welcoming 30-year-old Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley in January, while first-choice No.9 Antony Martial struggles to maintain his fitness and perform regularly.

Osimhen has emerged alongside Tottenham talisman Harry Kane and Benfica hotshot Goncalo Ramos as a name on Ten Hag's shortlist of strikers, and fresh reports from Italy suggest that money won't be a problem for the Red Devils if they opt for Napoli's leading marksman.
