Rio Ferdinand Wants Manchester United to Sign Osimhen Instead of Gyokeres
Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United to go for Victor Osimhen over Viktor Gyokeres as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.
United are on the hunt for a reliable goal scorer after a disappointing campaign that saw them finish 15th on the table, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling to deliver up front. The team also fell short in Europe, losing to Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League final.
While Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres had an impressive season—netting 39 goals and adding eight assists to help his side win the Portuguese league—Ferdinand believes Osimhen would be a better fit at Old Trafford.
Speaking with The Mirror, the former United defender said, “Gyokeres is in great form and people are excited about him. But if I had to choose between him and Osimhen right now, I’d go with Osimhen because of his experience at the top level.”
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
