Man United fans want player sold ASAP and replaced with superstar signing as 'contact made' over sensational swap deal

Manchester United fans want the club to sell a first team player this summer - and replace him with a huge statement signing.

United went 1-0 down to Fulham in the first half of their FA Cup fifth round clash at Old Trafford through Calvin Bassey's header.

Bruno Fernandes levelled on 71 minutes, but it had already proven to be another difficult afternoon for Ruben Amorim's side up to that point.

Three minutes before the goal, Amorim substituted striker Rasmus Hojlund and replaced him with 17-year-old Chido Obi.

Hojlund has been a regular starter under the Portuguese boss but now hasn't scored a goal for United in any competition in his last 18 matches.

And fans want him to be sold in the summer after just two seasons at the club - and replaced by Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

The Nigeria international is currently on loan at Galatasaray after being excluded from Napoli's Serie A squad in September, and is likely to leave the club on a permanent basis this summer.

Italian outlet Calciomercato have claimed that United are assessing a move for Osimhen and are even preparing a swap deal to make it happen.

It is reported that United are willing to offer £40 million for the striker, with Hojlund - who played in Serie A with Atalanta before moving to Old Trafford - going the other way.

Napoli were also linked with signing Alejandro Garnacho in January, but it remains to be seen whether United's summer financial position will deem his sale as a potential option.

Osimhen, 26, has scored 22 goals in all competitions since arriving on loan at Galatasaray, including a superb brace in a 3-2 Europa League group stage win over Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season.

He was previously valued at £150 million by Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis, but it appears unlikely that they would be able to command anything like that fee given his current squad status at the club.
