Manchester United have a number of things to ponder before they go into the summer of the transfer window. They have had a very bad season and Ruben Amorim will be tasked with upgrading the squad so that the team can perform well in all competitions next season.
The club need to strengthen their attack this summer as they have struggled for goals this season. The number nine, Rasmus Hojlund, has not been in form but has made an improvement of late. However, the club will still need a world class striker who can score goals consistently.
Manchester United are in need of a striker
Caught Offside had earlier reported that United are linked to a number of high-profile strikers like Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, Liam Delap, and Jonathan Burkardt. However, the club have struggled to find the best profile who will match their demands. Moreover, there has been another problem, given that right now they are not favourites to play European football next season unless they finish in the top six or win the Europa League.
Update on Victor Osimhen to Manchester United
Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on United’s interest in strikers and Osimhen’s links with Old Trafford. The transfer journalist has stated that he is not sure of any concrete talks between United and Osimhen, but he is definitely on their interest list along with some other strikers.
“At the moment, I’m not aware of concrete talks taking place for Osimhen to Man United. He’s on the list but [the] same [is the case] for more strikers, nothing advanced at this stage.”
Fabrizio Romano said to Give Me Sport.
Osimhen is a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. The Nigerian striker’s explosive pace and relentless work rate make him a nightmare for defenders. He combines physicality with finesse, dominating aerial duels while showcasing a sharp eye for goal. The Nigerian’s movement off the ball is instinctive, often finding pockets of space to exploit.
Osimhen’s finishing is clinical, whether it’s a thunderous header or a cool, composed strike. Beyond his technical gifts, his tenacity and passion shine through, driving his team forward. At just 26, Osimhen’s already a standout talent with a bright future ahead.

He has scored 20 goals in 22 matches so far in the Süper Lig 2024/2025 season. The Nigerian has amassed a total G/A of 20 in the season so far. The stats clearly show that he has been in sensational form for this season and has been one of the revered strikers of late in the world. It is very clear that the Nigerian might be leaving Napoli permanently at the end of the season.
Should the Red Devils go for Victor Osimhen?
From Manchester United’s side, chasing Victor Osimhen feels like a must. Their attack has been patchy—Hojlund’s not firing consistently. Osimhen’s on fire this season, a proven goal machine who’d fix that. He’s on their list, per Romano, but no talks yet.
That’s fine—others are in the mix—but he’s the prize. Strong, fast, and lethal—the Nigerian would tear up the Premier League. United can’t sit idle while rivals snag stars. They should splash the cash and get it done. He’s worth it.
