"He is the man" - Louis Saha believes Chelsea target 'would instantly improve' Manchester United if they sign him
Louis Saha has claimed Manchester United should be signing Chelsea target Victor Osimhen. He believes that the Nigerian is a proven striker and will help the club get better on the pitch.
Speaking to CryptoCasinoUK, Saha stated that Osimhen would solve the issues for Manchester United and that it would be worth all the money they have to pay to sign him. He, however, expressed doubt if the striker was a realistic option:
"It would be a difficult signing to make, but I think Victor Osimhen is exactly the type of striker Manchester United need. I don’t know if it’s a realistic option because he is on loan at Galatasaray, but if you’re talking about a proven goal scorer with pedigree, he is the man. He would instantly improve the team.
"If you signed Osimhen, you’re not signing potential. You know exactly what he is going to give you. A striker like Osimhen is exactly the kind of signing that Manchester United need to make. If it takes a lot of money, and it will to sign Osimhen, you go and do it."
Chelsea were interested in signing Osimhen this summer but could not agree personal terms with the striker. The forward was left out of the Napoli squad and eventually had to join Galatasaray on loan.
Manchester United should break the bank for Chelsea target, claims pundit
Louis Saha believes Manchester United should have gone all out to sign Harry Kane before he made the move to Bayern Munich. He insisted that they should now go all out for Chelsea target Osimhen if they want to "take the club on an upward trajectory":
"I think that Manchester United should have broken the bank and signed Harry Kane two seasons ago. He’s a player that you should be willing to break the bank for because you know that he will score at least 30 goals and he’s a wonderful professional for the next generation to learn from.
"I’m not here to give the Manchester United board a lesson in who to sign, and I know it’s a new team since then, but if you want to take the club on an upward trajectory, if you want to win the Premier League, then you need a striker with the profile of Kane or Osimhen."
Manchester United are currently 13th in the Premier League with two wins in six matches. Chelsea have broken into the top four and are two points behind leaders Liverpool.
