Super Eagles legend captain Joseph Yobo has shared his thoughts on the potential transfer of Victor Osimhen to Manchester United.
Osimhen, one of the most sought-after strikers globally, has been linked to several elite European clubs, including Manchester United.
Speaking to Africafoot, Yobo expressed confidence in Osimhen’s ability to succeed at Old Trafford.
“For me, it’s a no-brainer. Victor and Manchester United are a perfect fit, and there’s no doubt he would thrive if they signed him,” Yobo said.
“Even though they’re struggling in the transition, Manchester United are still among the top three clubs in the world, and that’s not going to change anytime soon,” he noted.
Furthermore, Yobo advised Osimhen to consider working under Manchester United’s new manager, Rúben Amorim, whom he regards as one of the best managers of his generation.
“If you ask me, I’ll be honest with you; Victor [Osimhen] should take the offer if it comes. Their project is exciting with a new coach in [Ruben] Amorim, who is one of the best of his generation.
“If Amorim wants to trust Victor to be one of the leaders of this project in transition, yes, I think he shouldn’t think twice, he should take it.”
