Victor Osimhen transfer: New Man United report on Hojlund fuels Nigerian star’s signing

English Premier League giants, Manchester United, have reportedly made Danish striker Rasmus Højlund available for transfer as the 2025 summer window approaches, Soccernet.ng reports.

This report has further fueled fresh speculation about a potential summer move for Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen, who is firing on all cylinders in the Turkish Super Lig.

According to Givemesports, as reported by Transfer News Live, the Red Devils are open to selling Højlund after he failed to impress the prospective new manager, Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese tactician, who joined Manchester United from Sporting CP, has not had his best seasons thus far, with his attacking department only securing just 14 goals out of their 37 EPL goals this season.

Højlund, who arrived from Atalanta in a big-money deal, has endured a mixed campaign in the Premier League with just 24 goals in his 84 appearances for the club.

Despite flashes of potential, the Danish international has struggled for consistency with United. Despite this, Transfermarkt reveals that he is still a target for Napoli.

With Amorim seemingly unconvinced by the young forward, the Red Devils are expected to bolster their attack—and Osimhen has emerged as a prime target.

The Nigerian international is enjoying a standout season on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, topping the Turkish Super Lig scoring chart with 20 goals in 23 appearances and totaling 28 goals in 32 appearances for Galatasaray.

As earlier reported by Soccernet.ng, United legend Rio Ferdinand recently urged the club to make it happen for Osimhen, insisting the Super Eagles star has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League and mentor the club’s younger attackers.

“We need Osimhen, we need experience, we need someone who knows how to score,” Ferdinand said. “We need someone who can come and show these young stars of Man United how to do it. If I’m Man United, I’m making it happen.”

With Højlund potentially on his way out and Osimhen firmly on United’s radar, fans may soon see a major shake-up in the Red Devils’ attacking setup.
