Victor Osimhen is not on the list of players sought by Manchester United, according to some information, the identity of the offensive targets having been revealed.

The Red Devils are looking for reinforcements after seeing Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee lack confidence when they were asked to lead the attack in 2024-25. Plans are being developed in Old Trafford for the summer transfer window.

What point of fall for Oismhen?

Funds are available for significant recruitments, without it being necessary to sell, and Manchester United is confident to be able to still attract big names. Osimhen will not be part of it.

About the Red Devils recruitment campaign, transfers expert David Ornstein told NBC Sports: “Manchester United priority for the next transfer window is the attack. They mainly seek a center-forward and a number 10. They want to get started quickly. The finances are in place, if I understood correctly, to conclude the desired transactions. They do not depend on European football, I am told or sales to justify them. »»

“” Their main objective for the number 10 position is Matheus Cunha, by Wolverhampton Wanderers. It has a release clause of 62.5 million pounds sterling. He wishes to come, but personal conditions must still be agreed, which is not a formality. In terms of attackers, Liam Delap of Ipswich Town is their number 1 target. His release clause is 30 million pounds sterling in the event of relegation. But many other contenders covet it, including Chelsea. I think Liam Delap will decide before the European Championship under 21 of his future.

PSG still has its chances

“If Manchester United is plans to other options, I am sure that it will not be Victor Osimhen. Despite the rumors you could read, he is not in the Manchester United plans. They will have other options, because they may have to turn to them, or else they will stick to internal solutions like Rasmus Hojlund and will focus on other positions. »»

Osimhen has already mentioned his desire to play in the Premier League, suggesting that discussions had been opened between his representatives and Manchester United. This may not be the case, because the prolific 26-year-old will have to explore other options, among which PSG, notorious admirer of the player, is still an admirer.
