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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
