There's no universe where we get both him and Antony. He's probably the back up if the antony deal fails. I'm not overly impressed anyway.
Victor Osimhen | out of options | goes to Gala on loan

This guy is going to be a top quality striker but there isn't a hope United will sign him especially in this window .. He cost napoli close to €80 million so if they are selling him it will be for at least £100 million and that's a deal United just won't do .
Probably, but there is zero correlation between what the manager says and the chances of this happening
Could Asensio and him not work
More rumours around today!
This performance against Leicester basically sums him up! Powerful, dangerous, hard working but also inconsistent and capable of the sublime and the ridiculous!

Would be a brilliant signing.
Can't think of a better young striker who is gettable

Wouldn't mind having him but between him and Antony, i would rather that we sign Antony
Would love this guy at the club. A proper striker who has good consistent numbers in the last 4 seasons, and only 23.
But I’m not getting excited by this just yet, cannot see how this happening at all.

Wouldn't mind him but not at the expense of Antony.
I agree with this
Would be a good signing. Shooting technique looks a bit poor though no?
Well can't afford both that's for sure
Hasn’t his agent said he wants to stay at Napoli?
Get him next year when we are back in it
Glazers out and no more leeches sucking blood from this club, then we will have funds for both.
Would be an awful signing.
Cannot believe so many prefer FDJ or Anthony to Osimhen. A good striker is almost everything for success in modern football... Look at what RVP did to us and Haaland to City... Osimhen is raw but has everything a good striker needs, plus his pace is so much needed in the current United squad...
Blimey is any striker actually good enough
I watch Napoli and Serie A regularly and yes, the price tag is really high but don't get it twisted, Osimhen is a superb footballer. He is rapid, great in the air, he has a massive engine never stops running and is not half bad in the build-up either. He would be a significant boost to the squad without question. However, I want us to go in for him next year because I doubt the yanks are willing to spend €100m on two players in the same window. However, if the Antony deal dies, i'm not opposed to an Osimhen deal this window provided we don't cover any of Ronaldo's wages.
Why? I haven’t watched him much.
For the price quotes, I’d expect a Haaland level talent, which I don’t feel Osimhen is at this moment. Would be a vast improvement on what we have though, so if we get a good deal it may turn out to be an upgrade.
Think he'd be a excellent signing but I just dont see it in the remaining few days.
I know very very little about him. Is there any youngish striker in the world obtainable better than him?
I remember him tearing Leicester apart last season (I think), they couldn’t live with him. He scored twice to knock them out. That’s all I’ve seen of him but he seems to be the physical sort who can also play a bit too. I’d rather we went for someone like that than just just a big lump.
Nkunku at RB Leipzig, but he’ll leave next summer, French and an all round better player
And not really a striker, but yeah, good shout
Not worth more than £50m - Not very clinical at all - he is fast, athletic and actually a decent pass with good work rate but technically poor with rash shooting
Dembele/ Shick
Don't know why we aren't in for Moussa
Unfortunately will never reach those levels
Gut feel he moves in the winter
Not going to the world cup so if he starts this season well I can see his agent touting him round top clubs for the winter window

His agent already said he wants to stay at Napoli and play CL football. 100 percent not gonna happen.
100m for a player who’s never scored 15 in any league.
Pass.
Pass.
How many did Antony score
?Who else can we get to put up those numbers
I agree about Schick but Dembele is not better. Is less mobile, less pacy and athletic, only better in around the penalty area but his stats arent that much better either.
Not a fan from what I’ve seen. Seems heavily reliant on service. All his goals are headers or 6 yard tap-ins from byline cut backs.
Would expect more for the money being quoted.

Who is Abby
Looking at his stats he roughly a goal every 2 games.
Pace. Strength. Works hard. Good with his back to goal. Stays high up the pitch occupying centre backs on his own. Runs channels. Constant threat in behind. Good in the air. Only 23. Already a 1 in 2 striker.
A central striker centre backs don’t want to play against - who won’t just play in front of them and will move them across the pitch running towards their own goal. Who can actually shield the ball if we go direct to beat aggressive presses. He’d be an outstanding signing.
