MAN UTD are eyeing up a move for Tammy Abraham as an alternative to Harry Kane, according to reports.

Erik ten Hag is desperate to add a No9 to his side and the club has been linked with a move for the England captain.

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is said to be a target, while if Sheikh Jassim's takeover bid is successful the Qataris will reportedly attempt to lure PSG superstar Neymar to Old Trafford.

Ex-Chelsea striker Abraham, 25, is also believed to be on the Red Devils' radar, who have sent scouts to watch him in action.

Gazzetta.it claim the Premier League giants had representatives at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.

And they would have been impressed to see the English forward get himself on the scoresheet against AC Milan in injury time to rescue a draw for the home side.

However, the report adds that Roma will only entertain bids starting at £70million - the price of the buy-back clause Chelsea inserted when they sold him in 2021 for a fee of £34million.

Man Utd would face competition for Abraham's signature, with PSG and Tottenham also believed to be interested in his services.

Last season, the England striker was in stunning form for Jose Mourinho's side scoring 17 Serie A goals.

He broke the record for highest scoring Englishman in the league - beating Gerry Hitchens' 16 goals for Inter Milan in 1961-62.

However, this season Abraham hasn't been as prolific - netting just eight times in 32 Serie A matches.

Although that hasn't deterred any potential suitors who would be willing to pay a huge sum for the forward.
