A trusted journalist, David Ornstein, has explicitly cleared the air about the widespread rumours suggesting the Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen as a potential transfer target for Manchester United.
David made this known in an interview with NBC Sports. According to the journalist, Osimhen is not on the agenda for the three-time UEFA Champions League this summer. ‘’….. Even if Manchester United are considering others, I am assured it will not be Victor Osimhen’’. He mentioned Liam Delap of Ipswich instead as United’s viable option.
This disclosure has sent shock waves across Nigeria, giving his fans quite a turn, considering his spectacular performances at Napoli and Galatasaray.
Victor Osimhen has featured in 35 matches, scoring 30 goals. Napoli’s Scudetto win of the 2023-24 season was made possible due to his efforts.
Despite such sensational records, Manchester United’s eyes are elsewhere and appear to indicate interest in Delap, who had played 35 games and scored 12 goals.
As the revelation unequivocally points out, Osimhen is not officially on Manchester United’s radar. However, there is a possibility that other English Premier League clubs might come for him, though this is not officially stated anywhere.
