Liverpool are internally discussing a move for Victor Osimhen, according to reports.

Chelsea were thought to have held a longstanding interest in the player but are no longer in pursuit of his services after signing Liam Delap.

Cunha thrilled by 'dream' Man Utd move

Matheus Cunha is delighted to have joined his "dream" team and is determined to help Manchester United bounce back from their worst season in 51 years.

The 20-time English champions are in the midst of a rebuild under Ruben Amorim, having limped home 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final to fellow strugglers Tottenham.

The Red Devils' issues did not deter Brazil international Cunha, who completed his eagerly-anticipated £62.5million switch from Wolves on Thursday.

"It is the most common phrase that you can say at this moment, but this is the dream come true," he told MUTV.

"Maybe outside, I think maybe my decision, they don't understand. But when you have always dreamed to play here, it's easier to pick this decision.

"For me, no-one else is like United. Of course, I know it's been a hard season for everyone. I think my decision shows what this club is for me and what I believe this club can be."
