Victor Osimhen Signs Four-Year Deal with Manchester United
Manchester United has officially secured the signing of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen on a four-year contract. The agreement was finalized last night, and the player successfully completed his medical examination this morning. Osimhen will inherit the jersey number previously worn by the departing Rasmus Højlund, and he becomes the club’s second signing under new manager Rúben Amorim.
Osimhen, who has made a name for himself at Napoli with his explosive pace, strength, and consistent goal-scoring, has long attracted interest from top European clubs. Manchester United, aiming to bounce back from a turbulent season, sees Osimhen as a vital addition to their attacking lineup.
The Red Devils have struggled with consistency in their forward line and believe Osimhen’s arrival will inject both quality and competition into the squad. Known for his sharp movement and finishing ability, the Nigerian international has proven himself against elite opposition in Serie A and on the international stage.
His transfer also aligns with United’s broader strategy of rebuilding a squad capable of challenging for top honors in both domestic and European competitions. Osimhen’s relationships with some current United players are expected to ease his transition into the team.
Despite Napoli’s high valuation, Manchester United appears to have met the club’s financial demands, a move seen as a major investment in their attacking future. The Premier League club hopes Osimhen will be a transformative presence on the pitch and a symbol of their renewed ambitions.
As the transfer window heats up, United fans will be thrilled to see Osimhen donning the iconic red shirt, with expectations high that he could lead the charge back to title contention.
