Manchester United

are considering Napoli striker Victor Osimkhen among the main candidates to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

This was reported by journalist Florian Plettenberg on Twitter.

It is noted that the management of the "Mancunians" is confident that the 23-year-old Nigerian will be able to improve the team.

The reluctance of "Napoli" to say goodbye to the star Nigerian may become an obstacle to the plans of the Aglija club.

In addition, Manchester United is not ready to pay 100 million euros for the player.

We will remind that "Manchester United" 

announced

 the termination of the contract with Ronaldo on Tuesday, November 22.

This happened after 

a high-profile interview

, in which the Portuguese "torn apart" the club and the head coach of the "Mancunians" Erik ten Gag.

His career at the new club 

was suspended for two matches

 due to scandalous behavior during the Premier League match against Everton in April.

  • This season, Osimgen played 14 matches for Napoli in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists.

    He missed about a month due to injury.
