Manchester United are heading into January with very limited funds but that hasn’t stopped them keeping tabs on three players – Super Eagles in-form striker Victor Osimhen chief among them.
The Red Devils lost five Premier League games in December and remain in the bottom half. Their squad, despite having more money pumped into it in the summer, is in major need of reinforcements but Ruben Amorim is unlikely to get much to spend in the New Year.
United though have continued to track certain individuals, even if they are unlikely to move for any of them. Osimhen is a man who’s long been linked with a move to the Premier League and his days at Napoli look to be over following some personnel changes in the summer.
He’s currently on loan at Galatasaray and continues to produce in the final third, but Turkey is unlikely to be his long-term home. There is a clause in the deal allowing the Italian side to recall Osimhen in the New Year and sell him if the right offer comes in, but United sources believe it is unlikely they could land someone of his profile and salary at present.
The Red Devils squad could do with some more goals and Osimhen is more than capable of leading the line on his own – something that has looked a tall order for Rasmus Hojlund at times.
