Transfer market expert Di Marzio confirms Man Utd could be interested in Super Eagles star

Published: April 23, 2022

Italian transfer market expert and Fabrizio Romano's mentor, Gianluca Di Marzio has confirmed that Manchester United could be interested in Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

2015 U17 World Cup winner Osimhen is being linked with a move to England, six years after Arsenal missed out on his signature.

Manchester United are in the market for a striker ahead of the opening of the transfer window, with Uruguay marksman Edinson Cavani out of contract in June and the future of Cristiano Ronaldo uncertain following the recent appointment of Erik ten Hag as permanent coach of the club.

Di Marzio has revealed that United could be interested in Osimhen, with incoming coach Ten Hag looking to bring in a center forward.

"I believe that only Manchester United, among the big players in Europe, could be interested in the Nigerian," Di Marzio said said during Giochiamo di Anticipo, a program broadcast on Canale Otto, according to Area Napoli.

"After the arrival of Ten Haag they could invest in a striker capable of attacking the space."

Osimhen began his career as a professional footballer at Wolfsburg. From there, he joined Charleroi, then to Lille and Napoli signed him last season.

This season, he has scored sixteen goals in twenty seven all-competition appearances for the Blues.
