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.
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.”
