Victor Osimhen, a player Manchester United has wanted for a long time, turned down the chance to join the team and chose to play for Napoli instead. The Nigerian striker, who is currently with Galatasaray, has caught the attention of Manchester United again. He has scored 17 goals and provided assists in just 15 games this season. His €75 million release clause is still active, meaning he could be an expensive addition to the team. However, it is unclear if the club would be willing to spend that much money soon.
ADVICE FROM ODION IGHALO
Journalist Ben Jacobs shared that Osimhen once had an offer from Manchester United but decided against it after talking to Odion Ighalo. Ighalo warned him that joining Manchester United might lead to less playing time, as he could be low on the team’s priority list. This advice was important in Osimhen’s choice to look for other options.
COULD HE GET A SECOND CHANCE?
Osimhen’s choice seemed smart at the time, but football can change quickly. With a little over two weeks left in the January transfer window, Manchester United might still have a chance to sign him. If they do, Osimhen could greatly improve their team and help them aim for European football.
As the deadline nears, fans and experts will be watching to see if Manchester United can finally sign their desired player.
