Man Utd scouts sent to watch unstoppable 24 G/A talisman who wants Premier League move | OneFootball

Manchester United’s scouting staff watched on as a longstanding transfer target netted two goals for his side yesterday.

Indeed, Victor Osimhen was back on the scoresheet for Galatasaray after two goalless Super Lig matches, instantly making amends by notching a brace to retain the club’s six-point lead atop the table.

His tally for the season now stands at a notable 19 goals and five assists in 24 appearances across all competitions as he continues taking Turkey by storm following his late summer switch from Napoli on loan.

With no buy option included in Osimhen’s Galatasaray agreement, he will be returning to Italy upon the culmination of 2025/2026 to sit down with club chiefs and evaluate his next steps.

That’s where United – potentially – come in. TalkSPORT claims the Red Devils are looking to revive their interest in the prolific centre-forward this year, hence sending scouts to see how he’s faring in the flesh.

“Future in the Premier League? Of course, I would like to play [in] it one day. For now, I have other plans for my career. When the time comes, you will know everything,” said Osimhen in 2024.

A notorious fallout with Antonio Conte last August resulted in the striker being banished from the first-team and stripped of his shirt number, with Romelu Lukaku now the first-choice No.9 to provide for the Serie A leaders up front.

Given they’re not particularly struggling with his absence, Napoli will presumably look to cash in on Osimhen, whose contract runs until June 2026, when the window re-opens.

Meanwhile, United have seemingly conceded defeat that Rasmus Hojlund is not at the calibre required to lead the line in the Premier League at this stage of his career, so reinforcements will be sought (again) this summer.
