Osimhen among five strikers on Manchester United shortlist to provide competition for Sesko

Manchester United are reportedly exploring options to strengthen their attacking department, with Victor Osimhen among five forwards identified as potential targets to provide competition for Benjamin Šeško.

The Red Devils invested heavily in Šeško last summer, bringing the Slovenia international to Old Trafford with high expectations. 

While the 23-year-old endured a slow start to life in England, he has shown signs of improvement under manager Michael Carrick.

United are keen to add a more experienced striker to support their attacking options ahead of the next campaign.

According to CaughtOffside, Galatasaray marksman Victor Osimhen is considered United's dream signing. 

The Nigeria international enjoyed another prolific campaign, scoring 22 goals and providing eight assists for the Turkish giants.

Osimhen's physical presence, pace and goalscoring record have made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards, although securing his signature could prove challenging given the level of competition for his services and his transfer fee. 

Apart from Osimhen, Manchester United are said to have four other attacking options on their shortlist. 

The Red Devils are monitoring Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta, Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović, Bournemouth youngster Eli Junior Kroupi, and veteran forward Robert Lewandowski.
