Evra urges Man Utd to sign Osimhen as Ederson deal nears in transfer push
Former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has urged the club to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray, even as United close in on a £38m deal for Atalanta's midfielder Ederson. Evra told GOAL that Osimhen, who scored 22 goals last season to help Galatasaray win the Turkish Super Lig, can make a difference and that United need a proper striker to compete in multiple competitions. He referenced United's past striking depth and said Osimhen is the player who can fill that role. The recommendation comes as manager Michael Carrick prepares to oversee his first summer transfer window at Old Trafford. For Nigerian fans, the prospect of Osimhen joining the Premier League represents a major career milestone and continued visibility for Nigerian talent on the global stage. For Manchester United, adding Osimhen would bolster attacking options and provide competition for places, especially if the Ederson deal proceeds. The club already has interest in strengthening its front line, and Osimhen's proven goal-scoring record in Europe makes him a viable target. Readers should monitor official club announcements for any bid for Osimhen, consider how his potential arrival might affect squad dynamics and playing time for existing forwards, and stay informed about any developments in the Ederson transfer as both moves shape United's summer plans.
