Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defender, Godwin Okpara, believes Manchester United remain the ideal next destination for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.
The 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup winner has been a sensation since his arrival in Istanbul in the last two seasons, and Okpara wants to see the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) silver medallist move to the English Premier League.
“For me, I would prefer him [Osimhen] to go to Manchester United.

“He has already played in Belgium, France and Italy. Now, what comes next? If he can’t go to Spain, why not England?.
“Manchester United is the best place for him because he will enjoy his football there. The way he plays will fit perfectly into the Manchester United team. It would be the ideal platform for him to showcase his talents. It would be lovely for him to sign for Manchester United,” Okpara said.
While the Premier League noise refuses to go away, Galatasaray remain in a powerful position regarding their star man. Osimhen is currently under contract until 2029, meaning the Turkish giants are under no immediate pressure to sell unless a massive offer arrives.
Reports suggest that the club would hold out for a fee in the region of €150 million before even considering a departure for their talisman.
Since joining the Super Lig side, Osimhen has been nothing short of extraordinary, netting 59 goals in 74 appearances and lifting three trophies. His incredible form has validated the decision to move to Turkiye after a difficult exit from Napoli, but at 27, the former African Footballer of the Year is entering his prime years in active football.
