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.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
