‘He’s got good European pedigree’ - Saha claims Osimhen will transform Man United

Stephen Oladehinde 08:49 - 23.04.2025

Louis Saha, former Manchester United and France forward, thinks Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen would be perfect for Ruben Amorim's side.

The Red Devils are having their worst Premier League season ever, with a record 15 losses in the top flight. 

The team is currently 14th in the league, with 38 points from 33 games, but are safe from the relegation zone.

The three-time UEFA Champions League winners are planning a major roster overhaul next summer, focusing on acquiring players who align with the manager's tactical vision, rather than making temporary adjustments.

Saha wants Osimhen at Man United

Louis Saha advised Manchester United to prioritise signing a striker with a proven goal-scoring record. 

He expressed concerns about the current strikers, Zirkzee and Hojlund, highlighting their lack of impact despite the club's significant investment in them.

According to Mega Dice, he said, “I really like Victor Osimhen. He’s definitely got the character, he’s got the quality. He’s also got good European pedigree. 

“He was a success in France, he was a champion in Italy with Napoli and he’s gone to Turkey with Galatasaray and been brilliant, a move that he probably didn’t want, let’s be honest.

“He’s scored goals at every level. He’s got Champions League experience, and further more, he’s got the type of personality and charisma that this United squad could really benefit from.

“I think he would be a transformational signing for Manchester United. If you think about the pressure that he was under at Napoli, firing the club to its first title in 33 years, then he’s the perfect man to lead the line for Manchester United.

“I think he would have a huge impact at United. I would love to see the club hierarchy move for him, I think he is exactly what we need.”

The 26-year-old Osimhen, who has scored 29 goals and provided five assists in 34 club games this season, is focused on winning the Turkish Super Lig with Okan Buruk’s side.
