Napoli finished third in the table last season and that means Champions League football this time around, so they are looking to raise the profile of the club and they see the best way of doing that is to play United.
Laurentiis said: “I have offered Manchester United €1m to come here and play a friendly against Napoli. I am awaiting a reply.
“My aim is to bring Napoli to be among the top teams, not just in Italy, but at international level. There is a lot of work to be done.”
