A lethal striker Man Utd have ‘agreed internally’ to sign this summer has been backed to rip up the Premier League by Bruno Fernandes.
Man Utd’s top priority this summer is signing an elite-level centre-forward. To that end, the Manchester Evening News declared Tottenham’s Harry Kane to be the preferred choice of Erik ten Hag. Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is understood to be the next best option for the club.
However, neither player will be easy to sign, with Tottenham reluctant in the extreme to sell to a domestic rival.
Kane’s future largely hinges on whether he signs a new contract in north London. His current deal expires at the end of next season and talks over a new deal will take place in short order.
Osimhen, meanwhile, may actually be the more expensive of the two given his much younger age. At 24, Osimhen could conceivably be United’s No 1 striker for the better part of the next decade. Kane will turn 30 in July and as such, is viewed as more of a short-term fix.
In the event neither player can be prised out of their current clubs, Portuguese outlet A Bola claimed Goncalo Ramos is the player Man Utd will turn to.
Ramos has been confirmed as being on Man Utd’s secondary list of striker targets by numerous outlets, such as the MEN.
A Bola claimed United have ‘agreed internally’ they’ll move for Ramos if Kane and Osimhen elude them. The Benfica and Portugal ace, 21, holds a release clause in his current contract worth €120m (approx. £104m).
