Ferdinand Urges Man United to sign Victor Osimhen
Rio Ferdinand, former Manchester United centre-back has urged the club sign Napoli’s goal machine, Victor Osimhen if they want to become title contenders.
According to Ferdinand, Osimhen will have a greater monetary value for the club considering his age.

“I think if I was talking about investing and looking after my money, I’d probably go for Osimhen,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. There’s resale value with his age at 24 years old. It’s gonna be a huge outlay.”
However, the Reds legend did admit that he would be happy with either front man arriving at Old Trafford, suggesting that they can transform Erik ten Hag’s side into title challengers.
The team have been impressive in recent months and are the only side in England still competing on four fronts.
The Reds currently sit third in the Premier League table and will face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday afternoon.
However, while Marcus Rashford has been in scintillating form – registering 24 goals and nine assists in 36 appearances – United‘s other forwards have struggled for goals this season.
French striker Anthony Martial has scored just six goals, while loan attacker Wout Weghorst has only found the back of the net on one occasion.
United spent over £200 million last summer, strengthening at centre-back, central midfield and on the wing.
Despite this, the club are expected to spend big on a new striker at the end of the season. The Reds have a long-term interest in England skipper Kane, while Ten Hag is also an admirer of Napoli ace Osimhen.
