Manchester United are keen on improving their attacking unit this summer, and they have identified Victor Osimhen as their top target.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester United want 26-year-old Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window, and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Napoli.
The Nigerian international is currently on loan at Galatasaray, and he has 25 goal contributions in all competitions. He is a world-class player who has proven himself at Napoli in the past. He could transform Manchester United in the final third and help them fight for trophies.
The 26-year-old should prove to be a major upgrade on players like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. Osimhen has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well, and it will be interesting to see if he can secure a move to the English top flight in the summer amid his links with Manchester United.
Manchester United could be an attractive destination for him. The Red Devils are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have the resources to build a formidable side. Osimhen has burnt his bridges with Napoli, and he will look to leave the club permanently in the summer. He will look to sort out his future and focus on his football once again.
Osimhen could improve Man United
However, Victor Osimhen is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and Manchester United might have to pay a premium to get the deal done. The 26-year-old is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he could justify the investment easily. He is a world-class player who could help Manchester United return to the top of English football.
Manchester United have endured a disappointing season so far, and they are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification. It is simply unacceptable for a club of their stature, and they need top-class players like Osimhen who can take them back to where they belong. It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can get the deal done.
