Is Manchester United the best option for Victor Osimhen?

Manchester United are undergoing a transition at the moment. They have a new coach in Ruben Amorim, who is looking to make some changes to the team. They have strggled badly over the last three years and can’t even make Europe.

Also, Manchester United’s finances have been in the searchlight due to the downsizing going on at the club. The Red Devils may even have to make a big sale to finance a Victor Osimhen purchase.

But even if they are able to pay for Osimhen, he has to think twice before moving to Old Trafford, as most top talents have struggled tto reach their potential. Manchester Unitred has even been referred to a burial ground for football talents.

Also, the squad is low on quality. So, if Manchester United do not add some quality, Osimhen should think twice.
