Manchester United targets Victor Osimhen for summer signing

Summary

Manchester United is reportedly pursuing Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window. After a successful 2025/26 season, where he scored 22 goals, Osimhen is seen as a key addition to support the club’s attacking options. Former footballer Godwin Okpara has endorsed his potential move to United, highlighting the fit with the team's style. United is looking to bolster their squad following a third-place finish in the Premier League and qualification for the Champions League. However, bringing Osimhen to Old Trafford may be complicated due to his contract with Galatasaray, which runs until 2029.
