Man United 'prepared to activate £44m release clause in Italy star's contract' after 'closely monitoring' ex-Premier League striker - as Red Devils turn attention to new forward target

Manchester United have turned their attention to a new striking target and are considering activating his £44million release clause, reports in Italy have claimed.

The Red Devils are in the midst of a crucial summer rebuild following their worst-ever Premier League campaign and are keen to bolster an attack that has faltered for a number of years.

Ruben Amorim's men have been linked with several strikers across Europe but deals for the likes of Viktor Gykorers, Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike are complicated to complete, given the financial packages involved and the club's failure to secure European football.
