Manchester United told to complete signing of 16-goal star ‘that will help Hoijlund’
Former Red Devils star Rio Ferdinand has opened up and encouraged Manchester United to sign on-loan Galatasaray star Victor Osimhen this transfer window.
Registering 16 goals across his first season at the club was promising but Rasmus Hojlund’s contributions have dropped off during his second season, scoring just two league goals, and it is believed that Amorim wants a new striker for the club.
Osimhen has been long tipped for a big money move to the Premier League or PSG, but no such transfer materialised last summer, and In the end he joined Turkish giants Galatasaray where he has so far scored 16 goals in just 20 appearances.
Ferdinand believes the club should reignite their pursuit of Victor Osimhen: ‘I’ve watched Hojlund closely the last two games… it just doesn’t add up,’ an exasperated Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
‘I’d be going to get Osimhen now if we can do it from a financial standpoint. Get him on loan now! Guarantees you someone who can get on the end of things, scores goals, experienced, done it at the top level.
‘I just feel like because Hojlund was £70m-odd we’re expecting the finished article. Unfortunately [he’s not]. He’s a young striker but normally a striker of that age comes in and learns off someone. He’s got nobody to learn off.
‘He’s looking at [Joshua] Zirkzee whose like him. They both need someone to learn what it takes to be a Manchester United No.9.
‘What are they doing every day? What type of drills are they doing? In games, how are they adapting to each centre-half? All of these questions he’s got in his head, he’s got nobody sitting there going, “this is what to do”.
‘A big part of the recruitment now is buying young talented players but there needs to be an element of who are they going to learn from on the job.’
