“Reporting Live from Old Trafford” – Victor Osimhen to Manchester United Officially Confirmed, Signs 5-Year Deal with Option for Additional Season
Victor Osimhen, a key target for Manchester United, is set to make a high-profile move to England in a dramatic swap deal involving Marcus Rashford, according to reports.
Rashford’s situation at United has worsened under manager Ruben Amorim, who did not trust the 27-year-old in a recent match against Newcastle United.
Despite United trailing by two goals early in the game, Amorim opted to bring on Alejandro Garnacho and Antony instead of Rashford, leaving him on the bench. Rashford has not featured for the Red Devils since mid-December.
Reports from The Peoples Person indicate that INEOS, United’s owners, are keen to offload Rashford as soon as possible. However, clubs like Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Arsenal have shown hesitance in investing heavily in the struggling forward.
Earlier today, a report suggested United could look to swap Rashford for Osimhen, with Antonio Conte reportedly interested in acquiring the Englishman.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been in outstanding form, scoring 12 goals and providing 5 assists in all competitions for the Turkish club. However, a Nigerian news outlet, ThePapers, relayed by Football Transfers, claims Osimhen is poised for a Premier League move.
Sources close to Osimhen have confirmed he is eager for the transfer, with one saying, “Victor will move, he may wear the red colours in England, there are moves already, and it is what he wants.”
The in-form striker would be a valuable addition to Amorim’s attacking options, while Rashford could benefit from a fresh start in Naples. However, given the complexity of such a high-profile deal, it’s advisable to approach this news with some skepticism.
