Man Utd ‘Send Senior Scout’ to Watch £58m Star With INEOS Keen on Deal
for Man United -Reports

According to Sabah, Manchester United is one of several teams interested in Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.

They have dispatched scouts to Turkey to observe the Nigerian player before making a potential move.

In his first 12 games for Galatasaray, the Napoli loanee has scored nine goals and provided five assists, and the Red Devils are reportedly in the running for him along with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.

But the 25-year-old is unlikely to stay in the Super Lig for very long. With a €70 million (£58 million) agreement in the works, Sabah claims that Osimhen is “almost certain” to get proposals from the Premier League at some point this season.
Chelsea are said to be long-term admirers of the Nigerian, while Man United and Arsenal have reportedly started sending senior scouts to monitor the “world-class” Osimhen in action.

Osimhen’s loan deal reportedly includes a £62m release clause for January, but Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk has stated the striker is determined to finish the season in Turkey.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Osimhen scored 76 goals and provided 18 assists in 133 appearances during his four-year spell at Napoli.

Man United are believed to be targeting a striker in January – the Red Devils are evaluating their options, including a potential move for Sporting Lisbon forward Viktor Gyokeres.

However, given their £180m summer spend and Ruben Amorim’s promise not to raid his former club early in 2025, a move for Gyokeres appears more likely after the season.

After going unbeaten in his first three games in charge, Amorim suffered his first defeat as Man United manager on Wednesday as the Red Devils lost 2-0 at Arsenal.

The Portuguese tactician appeared frustrated with some of his players’ performances, including Amad Diallo, who was the subject of a ‘verbal explosion’ from Amorim in the second half.

Now back in the bottom half of the Premier League table, United will be looking to return to winning ways in their home clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday
