Ruben Amorim Urges Manchester United to Pursue Victor Osimhen
Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, is reportedly unhappy with his current attacking options and is pressing the club’s hierarchy to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, a long-term target for Chelsea.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Amorim’s dissatisfaction stems from the struggles of his current forwards, with Rasmus Hojlund yet to find consistent form and Joshua Zirkzee having a difficult time adjusting to the Premier League in his first six months.
Amorim’s frustration has become more evident following Manchester United’s humiliating 3-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League over the weekend.
The defeat has intensified scrutiny of the team’s performance and shows their need for reinforcements, particularly in the attack.
After the game, Amorim openly acknowledged the magnitude of the task he faces in rebuilding United, describing the job as challenging but reaffirming his commitment to restoring the club’s former glory.
The Portuguese coach, who earned praise for his achievements with Sporting Lisbon before taking the reins at Old Trafford, is eager to reshape United’s offensive line during the January transfer window.
His primary focus is on Victor Osimhen, a striker who has been one of Europe’s standout goal-scorers this season.
Known for his pace, strength, and clinical finishing, Osimhen has attracted widespread interest from top European clubs.
However, instead of joining Chelsea, where he was heavily linked over the summer, he moved to Galatasaray on loan from Napoli.
Nigerian player Frank Onyeka speaks on the recent match of the Super Eagles against Tunisia and shares what made the difference in our victory at AFCON 2025.
While interviewed, the player stated “I think our game plan worked really well. The way we pressed them high didn’t give them any chance to play, so that is what made the difference.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
