United told to sign Osimhen instead of Kane
Former striker Andy Cole believes Manchester United should ditch their interest in Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane and focus on signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen instead.
United, who will resume their Premier League campaign after the international break with a trip to St. James' Park to face Newcastle United on April 2, are going to prioritise the addition of a new goal-getter ahead of next season. The club recognises that it needs an elite-level centre-forward to continue their development under Erik ten Hag and Kane and Osimhen have been identified as leading options.

Kane, who is Ten Hag's preferred target, is out-of-contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June 2024, meaning this summer could represent a golden opportunity for United to try and tempt Spurs into a sale. The striker, who became England's all-time leading goalscorer after netting his 54th goal for the Three Lions in Thursday night's 2-1 win over Italy, is one of the best forwards in the world and his record in front of goal, particularly in the Premier League, is very impressive.
Amad announces United future plans
Manchester United youngster Amad admits that he is confident his loan spell at Sunderland will boost his chances of making a name for himself at Old Trafford next season.
The Ivorian, who joined the Reds from Atalanta in January 2021, joined the Championship side on a season-long loan deal at the end of August. Amad spent the second half of last season on loan at Scottish giants Rangers but struggled to earn regular opportunities, making just 13 appearances.
However, the 20-year-old has found opportunities easier to come by on Wearside this season, becoming a key fixture in manager Tony Mowbray's plans. He has so far racked up 32 appearances for the Black Cats, who were promoted from League One last season, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in the process.
