Manchester United’s legendary defender, Rio Ferdinand, has told the club to sign Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window.
Ferdinand says even though Osimhen has no Premier League experience, he scores goals everywhere he goes and will be the right option for the club.
He also added that the Super Eagles striker will show the young strikers, Hojlund and Zirkzee, how to score goals.
The six-time Premier League champion made these remarks in a recent podcast.
We need Osimhen. We need experience, someone who knows how to score, and someone who can come and show these young strikers at Man Utd how to do it.
“If I’m Man Utd, I’m making it happen. I want someone who knows their way around the football pitch at the elite level and knows how to score at the elite level consistently. Osimhen done that. I want here and now.Yes, Osimhen hasn’t played in the Premier League, but I don’t care. I think he scores wherever he goes.”
Viktor Gyokeres is also enjoying a brilliant season with Sporting Lisbon, with 41 goals, 7 assists in 38 matches for Sporting Lisbon so far.
The Swedish striker also has the same price tag as Osimhen as Manchester United look to solve their misfortunes in front of goal.
