Manchester United to make move for Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen in upcoming window

Manchester United have set sights on signing Nigeria international forward Victor Osimhen ahead of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are prepared to trigger Osimhen’s £62 million release clause to secure his services as manager Ruben Amorim intends to augment his squad.

Osimhen is currently on a season-long loan at Galatasaray after a break down in relationship with former Serie A champions.

The club believes that the addition of a player like Osimhen to their frontline could dramatically improve their season’s trajectory.

He was a top transfer target for Chelsea, Paris Saint Germain and other clubs but he ended up joining the Turkish outfit in the summer.

The 25-year-old Nigerian has registered 10 goals and 5 assists for Galatasaray across all competitions this season.
