Manchester United is making moves to finally solve their striker problems, setting their sights on Nigerian goal machine Victor Osimhen. Reports suggest United are ready to table a £40 million bid to bring the Napoli star to Old Trafford.
Osimhen’s form has been nothing short of electric since moving to Galatasaray. In just 18 appearances across competitions, he has netted 14 goals and delivered six assists, quickly becoming the heartbeat of their attack. His explosive pace, aerial dominance, and sharp finishing have reignited the buzz around him in Europe, reminding everyone why Napoli once valued him at over €100 million.
But football changes quickly. Injury setbacks and a frosty relationship with Napoli’s management have seen his value drop. Manchester United, under pressure to rebuild their squad after a disappointing season, sense an opportunity. Bringing in Osimhen for £40 million would be seen as a coup, especially for a club desperate for a consistent goalscorer.
United’s attack this season has often looked blunt and directionless, relying too heavily on moments of individual brilliance rather than a consistent threat up front. Osimhen would not only bring goals but also energy, aggression, and a physical presence United have sorely lacked.
Negotiations are expected to heat up as the summer window approaches. For United fans, the idea of seeing Victor Osimhen in red next season offers a glimmer of excitement and hope that the club can finally reclaim its place at the top.But like many transfer sagas before it, this one will demand patience — and probably a lot more money.
