Man Utd to swap 23yo flop for Victor Osimhen?

Manchester United could offer Joshua Zirkzee as a makeweight to land Napoli star Victor Osimhen at the end of the campaign.

The Netherlands international joined the Red Devils from Bologna last summer. He has been unconvincing with four goals from 23 outings.

This has spread speculation that he could be offloaded soon and Calciomercato claim that United could sell him next summer.

Juventus are keen on recruiting the young marksman with manager Thiago Motta keen on a reunion with his former Bologna striker.

However, the Bianconeri face fierce competition in the form of Napoli, who have an ace down their sleeve in the form of Osimhen.

The Nigerian star is a top target for the Red Devils and the club have already made contact with his agent over a transfer.

Osimhen has a hefty release clause of €75m in his contract, but United could lower the package by including Zirkzee in a swap deal.

Napoli boss Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the Dutchman.
