Manchester United are now eyeing a move to sign a forward described as the 'best striker in the world', according to a report from Caught Offside.
The main focus for United over the last few weeks in the transfer window has been on targeting new midfielders.
A deal has reportedly been agreed to bring Atalanta midfielder Ederson to Old Trafford, with United set to pay in the region of £38m.
West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes is also a priority target, with some at the club believing that they will complete a deal to secure his signature.
Once United have solved their midfield situation, they could move on to strengthening in other areas of the pitch, including in attack.

According to a report from Caught Offside, Manchester United are interested in signing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window.
Osimhen is described as a dream target for the Red Devils, but there are doubts over whether they will be able to complete a deal.
The 27-year-old, described as the best striker in the world, would cost a huge transfer fee, making him a difficult option for the Manchester club.
United do have other names on their shortlist as they look to bring in a new centre forward, but Osimhen does appear to be a priority if they can get a deal over the line.
The Nigerian forward is currently plying his trade with Galatasaray, where he scored 15 goals in the league and seven in the Champions League last season.

Bringing in a striker of Osimhen's calibre and experience would be a smart move for Manchester United in the summer transfer window.
At 27, Osimhen is in his prime years, and he could be the ideal player for Benjamin Sesko to learn from and develop alongside.
The Slovenian forward didn't cement himself as a guaranteed starter for United last season, and considering he's still young, he could do with an experienced player alongside him.
If United can somehow get a deal over the line for Osimhen for a reasonable fee, it would be a phenomenal coup for the Red Devils.
