Manchester United are reportedly planning Marcus Rashford's exit this January and will move to sign Victor Osimhen should they find a buyer for the Carrington graduate.
The 27-year-old has been axed from the match-day squad in each of the last three games the Red Devils played. This sparked rumours that he was on his way out of Manchester United. In reaction, Rashford gave an interview in which he welcomed the idea of leaving the club.
It is now increasingly likely the England international, who made his debut for the Red Devils in 2016, will leave the club he has been with since he was seven.
Manchester United's Osimhen plan
As Pulse Sports reported, Ruben Amorim handed INEOS a list of three names in a bid to salvage their season and kick-start a return to glory.
Victor Osimhen headlines that list, along with Barcelona's Ronald Araujo and Southampton winger Tyler Dibling.
A report from Sky Sports confirmed the interest in Osimhen today, adding that Manchester United plan to use funds secured from the sale of Marcus Rashford to fund the move.

Manchester United are in talks with Victor Osimhen’s agent - personal terms will NOT be a problem! Marcus Rashford’s departure in January can open the possibility of the deal. #MUFC [@sachatavolieri, @SkySportCH] pic.twitter.com/UJmgLj5Ffb
A reported €50 million price tag has been quoted for Rashford. In comparison, Manchester United will have to match Osimhen's €75 million release clause, as Napoli have stated they have no interest in negotiating for a lesser fee. Personal terms with the former Lille man are not expected to be complicated, as he dreams of a top Premier League move.
