Manchester United will regret the decision not to sign Victor Osimhen, according to Daily Mail columnist Tom Collomosse.
The Red Devils were among the clubs linked with a move for the Nigeria international.
The Premier League giants have, however, signed Atalanta hitman Rasmus Hojlund.
The deal for Hojlund could rise to £72 million.
After watching United labour to a 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday, Collomosse said United would regret not moving for Osimhen.
“They (United) were toothless in front of goal against Gary O’Neil’s men and if they have not resolved this problem when Hojlund returns, the pressure will be even greater,” Collomosse wrote.
“Either Osimhen or Kane would have been perfect. Osimhen is a complete No 9 with the personality to fire Napoli to only the third Serie A title in their history. They will regret not moving for him.”
Osimhen helped Napoli win the Scudetto last season, scoring 28 goals in 32 league appearances.
