Manchester United sent scouts to watch Victor Osimhen in action for Galatasaray on Monday night

as they intensify their pursuit of the Nigeria international.

Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and he is widely expected to secure a permanent transfer during the upcoming summer window.

Chelsea are long-term admirers of the 26-year-old, although Enzo Maresca’s side are also interested in signing Ipswich Town star Liam Delap and their pursuit of Osimhen has quietened down over the past few months.

According to talkSPORT..

Despite significant interest in the 26-year-old Victor Osimhen, Manchester United will need to match his 240,000 euros per week wage demands, while his desire to play in the Champions League could also prove to be a huge stumbling block for the Red Devils.

Ruben Amorim’s side are currently languishing down in 15th place in the Premier League table and they are extremely unlikely to secure European football of any kind unless they win the Europa League.

Bruno Fernandes defends Ruben Amorim's criticism of Manchester United

United were trailing by two goals as they headed to the dressing room after the break. It took Fernandes' spectacular free-kick to bring the club into the game before Manuel Ugarte's maiden strike for the Red Devils earned a hard-fought point in their final fixture at Goodison Park against Everton. Manager Amorim did not mince his words after the game, as he brutally slammed his players for a nightmare first-half performance. At full-time, captain Fernandes was quizzed on the club scoring two set-piece goals to which he told BBC Match of the Day: "We need to score more from these situations. We need to be more aggressive and understand our positions when we attack. We scored from two set pieces today and obviously, it is really good but we need to improve a lot if we are going to get out of this situation. We need to be aware that the situation we are in is very, very bad."

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has explained why the club are being really careful with Christian Eriksen

Despite being expected to come into the starting line-up, Eriksen was ruled out of Sunday's game against Spurs due to illness. With a depleted squad and eight academy players making up the most of the bench, United would go on to lose 1-0 and slip to 15th in the table. After the game, Amorim explained that they could not take a risk on the midfielder's health. According to report, Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in the European Championships in 2021 against Finland and has been playing with a heart starting device since. He returned to the Premier League with Brentford and his performances were good enough to persuade United to take a chance on him as a free agent. While Eriksen has played without trouble at Old Trafford, the club do not want to risk his health when he is not well.
