The proposal - worth £880,000 - is for United to play at the San Paolo stadium in Naples. The Serie A outfit want to raise their international profile and hope the English champions will accept the invitation. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, De Laurentiis said: "I have offered Manchester United one million euros 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." Napoli, who finished third in Serie A last term, will play in the Champions League next season.
