Man United need Osimhen — Louis Saha

Former Manchester United forward, Louis Saha, believes Victor Osimhen, will be the perfect player for Ruben Amorim’s side.

The three-time UEFA Champions League winners are undergoing the poorest Premier League season, losing a record 15 top-flight games. Amorim’s side are currently 14th in the league, with 38 points from 33 games.

Saha, in four years at Old Trafford, scored 42 goals and provided 15 assists in 124 games across all competitions.

“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,” the two-time English Premier League winner was quoted as saying by Mega Dice.

“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 46-year-old former France forward said.

Saha joins Rio Ferdinand and Andy Cole on the list of ex-United stars who want the Galatasaray forward to answer the Old Trafford call, but they face stiff competition from several interested parties, in the Premier League and beyond.

Meanwhile, Osimhen, is focused on winning the Turkish Super Lig with Okan Buruk’s side, as the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup winner has scored 29 goals and provided five assists in 34 club games this season.
