Man Utd have ‘genuine interest’ in shock transfer swoop for ex-Chelsea star Tammy Abraham if they can’t get Osimhen

MANCHESTER UNITED have “genuine interest” in Tammy Abraham if they cannot land Victor Osimhen, reports claim.

The Napoli striker is among Europe’s deadliest forwards and has long been tipped for an Old Trafford move in the summer.

Abraham has been repeatedly linked with moves back to the Premier League after thriving at RomaRex

But he is not the only goal-scoring talent in Serie A who has impressed.

Former Chelsea hitman Tammy Abraham has re-energised his career after moving to Roma.

While he is not enjoying his best season he remains an important piece of Jose Mourinho’s side.

Caught Offside report that Man United are keeping tabs on the striker as they look for long-term options up-front.

Journalist Ben Jacobs writes: “For Manchester United, the admiration for Abraham is very genuine.

“Ten Hag likes the player. But like Chelsea there are others ahead of him in the queue.

“We know Manchester United love Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, as in fact do Chelsea. Manchester United won’t bill Abraham as a ‘back-up’ to Osimhen, but it’s not a bad way of putting it.”

Previous reports have also claimed Abraham is on United’s radar, but the star has been linked to Arsenal.

He has only managed six in 22 Serie A game so far this season with Roma sat fourth and battling it out for a Champions League space.
