Juventus are eyeing a summer deal for Manchester United star Victor Osimhen
Manchester United fans have every right to be frustrated with how the current Premier League campaign has unfolded. The club has failed to string together consistent performances and find themselves languishing near the bottom of the table—a stark contrast to their once-glorious past. It’s clear that a major overhaul is needed in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Under Ruben Amorim, United’s biggest struggle has been in attack. The absence of a reliable, consistent goal-scorer has cost them dearly. Neither Rasmus Hojlund nor Joshua Zirkzee has stepped up to fill that void. To turn things around, United must prioritise signing a world-class striker, someone capable of leading the line and delivering when it matters most.
Juventus want to sign Manchester United target Victor Osimhen
There seems to be a mix-up in the information—Victor Osimhen is not on loan at Galatasaray. He remains a Napoli player and has continued to lead the line for them in Serie A. That said, reports from Caught Offside and other sources have strongly linked Manchester United with a summer move for the prolific Nigerian forward.
Osimhen has been one of the most consistent goal-scorers in Europe in recent seasons. With his explosive pace, clinical finishing, and physical dominance, he fits the mould of the world-class striker United desperately need. Given Napoli’s readiness to sell and United’s clear need for firepower, this could be one of the headline moves of the transfer window—if the club can meet his hefty price tag.
Victor Osimhen has scored 20 goals in 23 matches so far in the Süper Lig 2024/2025 season. 10 of the 20 goals were scored at home, while he scored 10 goals at away games. Overall, his goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.99. Moreover, Osimhen’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 24 for this season.
However, it’s not all good news for the Red Devils, as Teamtalk reports that Juventus are also highly interested in signing Victor Osimhen this summer. The Italian giants are in the market for a top-class striker, with growing speculation that Dusan Vlahovic could depart at the end of the season.

Manchester United’s striker struggles are no secret, and missing out on Victor Osimhen could be a major setback. Juventus are “pushing harder than ever” to secure the Nigerian forward, who has been a top target for the Red Devils. With Hojlund and Zirkzee failing to deliver consistently, United’s attack has lacked bite.
Osimhen’s pace, power, and clinical finishing could have been a game-changer—exactly what United need to turn their fortunes around. If Juventus win the race, it’s another frustrating blow to the club’s ambitions. United may not have the funds to trigger his release clause outright, but selling a high-value asset like Alejandro Garnacho could generate the cash needed to make the deal happen.
