Victor Osimhen Made Man Utd Wary

DBasia.news – Victor Osimhen, Napoli striker, emphasized that he likes to stay as II Partenopei player. Whereas previously, he was linked with the Red Devils who were looking for a striker.

Manchester United failed to sign a new striker in the transfer market last summer. In fact, for Erik ten Hag the availability of a new striker is vital to support his tactics.

Manchester United’s needs are increasingly urgent. This is because the Red Devils have just been left by Cristiano Ronaldo, who left through contract termination. Although often sidelined, Ronaldo’s departure will reduce the depth of the squad in the spearhead position.

A number of top strikers have begun to be associated with Manchester United. One of them is Victor Osimhen.

The Nigerian player is performing impressively with Napoli. The 23-year-old striker has become one of Napoli’s weapons to be at the top of the Serie A standings this season. Osimhen has also scored 10 goals and 3 assists in 14 matches.

However, Man United is wary as Osimhen indicated that he would stay in Napoli.

“For me, it is difficult to find a better club than Napoli. Napoli is a top club, one of the best in Europe,” Osimhen told Il Mattino.

“I’m focused on winning here. We’ll see what happens,” said the striker.

Apart from Osimhen, Manchester United are also reportedly targeting Cody Gakpo. The player who shone with the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup has a bigger chance of leaving in the next winter transfer market.
