Manchester United 'told price' for Victor Osimhen and other transfer rumours

Manchester United will be expected to pay at least £90million if they want to sign Victor Osimhen in the summer, according to reports. United will prioritise the signing of a striker this summer, having secured the services of Wout Weghorst on loan for the rest of the season.

MEN Sport understands United are monitoring Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window. The Nigeria international has scored 14 goals in 16 Serie A games this term, propelling Napoli to the top of the table.

According to ESPN, any potential suitors will have to pay upwards of €100m (£90m) to land Osimhen, with Paris Saint-Germain also exploring the possibility of a summer move. The report adds that with two big names interested, Napoli may hope to raise the fee even higher and start a bidding war.

Elsewhere, United manager Erik ten Hag has been tipped to sign FC Utrecht midfielder Taylor Booth.

The 21-year-old midfielder moved to the Netherlands last summer, leaving Bayern Munich on a free after spending three years at the German club.

Booth has enjoyed an excellent first season with Utrecht, registering two goals and three assists in 14 league games. Key to Ten Hag's interest is the player's versatility, with roles across the midfield and out wide taken up with ease.

The Daily Mail claim the United boss, who enjoyed a spell in charge at Utrecht between 2015 and 2017, is 'actively monitoring' Booth's development in the Netherlands ahead of a potential move.
