Manchester United Want To Sign The 18G/A Striker: Why Does Ruben Amorim Want Him? | OneFootball

The latest report from Give Me Sport reveals that Manchester United are keeping tabs on the star striker, Victor Osimhen. United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, is a big fan of the player and wants to bring him to Old Trafford. He has performed really well since moving to Galatasaray on loan from Napoli in the summer transfer window. Amorim feels that the star striker could be a fantastic signing for United and help the club massively.

Manchester United want to sign Victor Osimhen

Osimhen is currently one of the best strikers in the world. He grew in stature during his tenure at VfL Wolfsburg and LOSC Lille. However, the player became a world-class striker during his tenure at Napoli and has grown in stature.

However, his relationship with the Serie A club turned sour in the 2023/2024 season when Antonio Conte took charge of the club. Chelsea were interested in signing him last summer and were very close to finalising the move. However, the move failed at the need, and he departed on loan to Galatasaray.

Osimhen has already scored 13 goals and provided five assists in the 16 matches that he has been part of Galatasaray so far this season. His performances have brought him into the limelight and interest lists of many clubs, with Manchester United leading the charge.

The Red Devils need attacking signings given that the future of Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee is unclear. Hence, their interest in Osimhen looks justified as he is one of the best in the business. He has good physical traits, can hold off defenders, and is good in the air and also clinical in front of the goal.

Why is Osimhen so much wanted by Ruben Amorim?

These traits have won over the confidence of Amorim, who wants Osimhen at any cost at Manchester United. The manager feels that a striker of the profile of Osimhen is just what United are missing to compete for major trophies. So, he will be pushing the Red Devils’ management to accelerate their efforts to bring the Nigerian to Old Trafford as soon as possible.

Recent reports have even revealed that the player would be more than happy and content to move to Manchester United. So, it remains to be seen if the said move gets finalised in the days to come. Manchester United will definitely benefit from the move.
