Manchester United recently took a new approach to asking for information on the potential transfer of Victor Osimhenwho also remains on Chelsea’s radar.
This has been reported by sources with a close understanding of Osimhen’s situation Caught offside that the Nigeria international is emerging as Man Utd’s top target amid doubts over Marcus Rashford’s future, and following Joshua Zirkzee’s lack of impact since moving to Old Trafford in the summer .
Osimhen’s side also anticipate interest from Juventus as they look for a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who is yet to agree a new contract with the Serie A giants, and there is a growing feeling that Juve could be the striker’s preferred destination.

Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, and it perhaps makes sense that he would like to stay in Italy after impressing there previously, although the likes of United and Chelsea will also be doing their best to lure the 25-year-old. old in England
One in, two out at Manchester United?
If Rashford and Zirkzee leave United, fans would surely be delighted to have a world-class centre-forward like Osimhen come in as a replacement.
The Red Devils seem to lack such a focal point in their attack, and new manager Ruben Amorim could benefit hugely from making changes to this current crop of forwards who have been struggling to score.
Rashford is still not guaranteed to leave though, despite being left out of Amorim’s squad for yesterday’s Manchester derby.
Caught offside PSG are understood to be among potential suitors for Rashford if he is made available, but Amorim also spoke after the game to indicate there is still a way back for him and Alejandro Garnachowho also did not manage to be part of the squad.
It will be interesting to see how Zirkzee influences this saga as well, as he has also been watched by Juventus, so he could end up being an alternative to Osimhen for the Torino side.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will also be one to watch as Osimhen would likely see them as a much more tempting project than United right now.
