Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has recommended Victor Osimhen as the striker the English club should target in the summer transfer window, describing the Nigeria international as “the best option”.
Osimhen has been playing for Galatasaray since last summer and has produced a strong return in front of goal during the most recent season. The Nigerian striker made 33 appearances, scoring 22 goals and providing eight assists.
His performances have also helped establish his value in the transfer market. Transfermarkt currently assesses Osimhen at €75m, making him a major potential investment for any club seeking to strengthen its attack.
Evra was asked which player Manchester United should sign during the upcoming summer window. His answer was Osimhen, with the former defender identifying the Galatasaray forward as the preferred solution.
The recommendation places the 22-goal striker at the centre of discussion around Manchester United’s attacking options. Osimhen’s record of goals and assists for Galatasaray is the main reason given for the suggestion, while his market valuation indicates the scale of the potential deal.
There is no information in the source article that Manchester United have made an offer for Osimhen or that negotiations with Galatasaray are under way. Evra’s comments are presented as advice about the player the club should pursue, rather than confirmation of a transfer.
Osimhen’s output this season is made up of 22 goals and eight assists from 33 matches. Those figures mean he has contributed directly to 30 goals, either by scoring himself or setting up a team-mate.
The striker’s current valuation of €75m, according to Transfermarkt, further underlines why he would represent a significant signing. However, the article does not state whether Manchester United intend to meet that valuation, nor does it provide details of any proposed contract or transfer agreement.
Evra’s recommendation therefore focuses on the qualities Osimhen has shown for Galatasaray and the potential value he could offer Manchester United. The former defender’s view comes as the English club considers which players to pursue when the summer transfer window opens.
For now, the confirmed details are limited to Evra’s preference and Osimhen’s recent record. The Nigerian remains a Galatasaray player, while Manchester United have not been reported in the source as having completed a deal or submitted a formal bid for him.
