The Denmark international joined the Red Devils from Atalanta last summer, and he had a decent debut campaign with 16 goals in all competitions.

Hojlund has been touted to become better in years to come, but La Repubblica claim that United are trying to use him as a makeweight to land Osimhen.

Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli in the current transfer window , but the Serie A giants are reluctant to lose him for less than his €120m release clause.

United don't have the funds to afford his signature, but they are hoping to significantly lower the price by offering Hojlund as part of the deal.

The proposal is likely to be snubbed by new Napoli manager Antonio Conte , who prefers the experience of Romelu Lukaku up front.

Conte has asked the Naples outfit to land Lukaku from Chelsea . The Belgian could cost a fee of around €40m, according to reports.
