Newly-appointed manager Ruben Amorim reportedly wants Manchester United to sign 25-year-old prolific Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen next year.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Victor Osimhen is the subject of interest from Manchester United. Ruben Amorim is driving the Premier League club’s move for the 25-year-old prolific striker, currently on loan at Turkish outfit Galatasaray from Serie A giants Napoli.
Victor Osimhen and a topsy-turvy ride
Victor Osimhen has found a stable footing since joining Galatasaray from Napoli on a season-long loan deal in September 2024. The African attacker had reached a point of no return at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium after a few run-ins with the decision-makers at the Serie A club.
While Osimhen preferred a better club than Galatasaray, he had no option after a point, with Chelsea failing to secure his services in a deadline-day move. However, the 25-year-old prolific striker has made his mark at Galatasaray, contributing to 12 goals in nine appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net eight times and providing four assists.
Meanwhile, Osimhen’s exploits at Galatasaray have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs. Manchester United might be one of the prospective suitors for the Nigerian international, with Ruben Amorim driving the Premier League club’s move for the player.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester United’s interest in Victor Osimhen is understandable. The Red Devils might part ways with Joshua Zirkzee next year, with the Dutchman failing to make his mark since arriving from Bologna in the summer transfer window. So, Manchester United should sign a replacement, with Osimhen emerging as a viable target.
While the Napoli loanee has had a few controversial issues, he will be a top-class addition to the Manchester United squad. With Rasmus Hojlund also in the group, the highly-rated Danish international can learn the ropes from Osimhen before taking over as the undisputed first-choice striker.
However, it is unclear if a winter move can see the light of day, considering Galatasaray will be eager to keep the 25-year-old Nigerian international at the club until the end of the 2024/25 season. So, Manchester United might have to wait until the summer transfer window to land Osimhen.
