BREAKING NEWS: Coming from Fabrizio Romano, ” the young man at Napoli ‘Osimhen’ is on my mind we need an established striker, a hungry No. 9, someone who wants to prove themself [while being] a little bit known and he fits perfectly for my plans at United, he’s going to bring that competition. I and my team are looking to bring him to United”. According to reports, A new striker is reportedly among United’s summer priorities and sir Jim has identified victor Osimhen as top target for that position. Manchester United WANTS victor Osimhen.
Dwight Yorke believes Manchester United must prioritize signing an established striker this summer rather than another young talent like Rasmus Hojlund. He recommends Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as the ideal candidate, over Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
Hojlund has had a solid debut season at United, netting 16 goals across all competitions, including 10 in the Premier League. However, the 21-year-old has struggled with consistency and lacked support, especially during Anthony Martial’s injury absences.
A new striker is reportedly a key summer target for United, but the specifics of their search are still being determined as the club’s new hierarchy forms its transfer plans. Yorke, who scored 66 goals in 152 appearances for United, suggests the club should move quickly to outbid Chelsea for Osimhen.
Yorke told Express Sport on behalf of Crypto Casino, “I think United should go for Victor Osimhen at Napoli. He stands out as the ideal No. 9 right now, the most established one.” He also mentioned considering Ollie Watkins but emphasized the importance of signing a proven striker.
Yorke pointed out the declining presence of traditional No. 9s in modern football, highlighting the need for a striker with hunger and experience, especially in the challenging Premier League. He noted that young players like Hojlund often struggle to adapt and perform consistently at this level.
Osimhen, likely to be on the move this summer, has a release clause set at £86 million by Napoli, reduced from £113 million. Yorke believes Osimhen’s experience and ability make him the right choice for United.
Choosing Osimhen over Watkins, who is coming off the best season of his career, might upset some, including Old Trafford legend Roy Keane. Keane has publicly supported Watkins and expressed that his form merits a high-profile transfer.
In conclusion, Yorke stresses that Manchester United needs an experienced and established striker to compete at the highest level and achieve significant success. Victor Osimhen is his top pick for this crucial role.
