'With Manchester United Looking At Him, He Can Be Great' - Nigeria Coach Rohr On Osimhen

Published: April 26, 2020

Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has predicted a bright future for Victor Osimhen who was having a banner season for Lille before sporting activities were halted in France.

The German football tactician revealed that the fact that Manchester United are keeping tabs on Osimhen is proof of the progress the striker has made over the past few seasons.

Osimhen has scored 13 goals for Lille in 2,289 minutes of action, that's a goal every 176 minutes, and he's the fourth highest goal scorer in the Ligue 1, level with Brazil superstar Neymar, but behind Ben Yedder, Mbappe and Dembele.

In a recent Instagram conversation with former Super Eagles Media officer Colin Udoh, Rohr said on Osimhen : "If he stays humble and I know he will, he will go far.

"Though he’s had some difficult times with injuries and he had to start again from a small club. He has shown that he can fight, come back and play again at the highest level.

"So, if he stays humble, he will improve and develop. With Manchester United looking at him, he can be great."

Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Napoli are the other clubs linked with a move for Osimhen in the summer.
