Manchester United recently signed Joshua Zirkzee on a long-term contract, adding depth to their attacking options. However, former Man Utd striker Louis Saha believes the club should make a move for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen to further strengthen their forward line.
Saha praised Osimhen’s attitude, work rate, and goal-scoring ability, comparing him to legendary strikers like David Trezeguet and Ruud van Nistelrooy. He believes Osimhen would be a perfect fit for United and could bring a much-needed goal-scoring threat to the team.
With Rasmus Hojlund and Zirkzee already at the club, United’s focus is now shifting to other areas of the squad that need strengthening, such as central defence and midfield. The club has been linked with players like Matthijs de Ligt, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Manuel Ugarte as potential targets.
However, the competition for Osimhen’s signature is heating up, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly in advanced talks with Napoli for a €100m deal. If PSG secures Osimhen, it could have implications for other transfers, such as Romelu Lukaku’s potential move to Chelsea.
Despite the competition, United officials are urged to act quickly if they want to secure Osimhen’s services. The Nigerian striker has the potential to make a significant impact in the Premier League and could be a valuable addition to United’s attacking options.
With Van Nistelrooy now back at Old Trafford as part of the coaching staff, there is added excitement around the prospect of Osimhen joining the club. His goal-scoring prowess and playing style could make him a fan favorite at United and help the team push for silverware in the upcoming season.
