Victor Osimhen is being linked with a move to Manchester United this month and the striker has been given advice should an offer arrive.
Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray and is enjoying a successful loan spell in the Turkish top flight having netted ten goals in 12 matches.
But it’s clear the striker should be playing at a higher level and TBR Football reported back in December that Osimhen had been offered to United.
Now, if Ruben Amorim’s side were to act on that offer this month or in the summer, one of Osimhen’s compatriots has given him advice on a move to Old Trafford.
Victor Osimhen told to join Manchester United
Niergian legend Joseph Yobo has told Victor Osimhen to join Manchester United should the Red Devils make him an offer.
The former Everton defender believes that the Premier League giants have an exciting project which is just starting under Amorim.
He claims that the 26-year-old would be the perfect fit striker to lead Amorim’s frontline. Yobo told AfricaFoot: “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.
“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.
“So, if you ask me, I’ll be honest with you; Victor should take the offer, if it comes. Their project is exciting with a new coach in 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.”
Can Man United move players on to facilitate Osimhen move?
Man United will likely need to move players on before being able to bring in another forward with Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund as options already.
Marcus Rashford is the most likely to leave Old Trafford this month as the forward looks for a new chapter in his career.
TBR Football confirmed last week that Manchester United were now willing to allow Rashford to leave on loan.
Meanwhile, sources have told TBR Football that Rashford has interest from Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and West Ham United.
Zirkzee has interest from Juventus, as per TBR Football, although the Italian club are looking at several attaching options this month.
