Osimhen and Kane on Man Utd's radar
Osimhen and Kane are top of United’s list, as both players have been outstanding for their clubs this season.
Osimhen has been arguably Napoli’s best player this season after leading the Neapolitans to their first league title in 33 years.
The 24-year-old has scored 23 goals and assisted another five to help Napoli win their first Serie A title since 1990.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane has 29 goals for Tottenham Hotspur this season, including 27 in the Premier League.

The former Blackburn striker believes Osimhen’s age gives him an edge over Kane, who turns 30 in July.

Berbatov chooses between Osimhen and Kane for Manchester United
Manchester United are expected to make a move for either Victor Osimhen or Harry Kane this summer.
"Kane is 30 years old next season and Osimhen is currently 24 years old, and he's already done a lot at his age too. Italian football is difficult, but there will be no doubt that he can adapt to the Premier League. If Manchester United want to pay £100m for a 24-year-old or a 30-year-old, you have to look at it in the long term," Cole told King Casino Bonus per Utd district.
However, Osimhen will cost Man Utd a lot of money as he still has two years left on his contract in Naples. His transfer is also unlikely to happen as Napoli are not interested in selling their prized asset.
