This summer, Manchester United are reportedly looking to recruit a “world-class” superstar striker who has a massive release clause.
The increasing impact of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, With his new 25% ownership stake, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is aiming to restore his childhood team’s position as a premier English football club, and the period has gotten off to a good start.
While it’s true that Erik ten Hag’s Premier League results have been all over the place (he’s reportedly fighting for his job at Old Trafford), many are still hoping that Ratcliffe will bring in the right changes this summer, including a new sporting director.
It seems that Dan Ashworth, an Englishman on gardening leave from Newcastle United, will fill that position. Ashworth has the potential to be the transfer guru that United have been seeking for a long time, helping to streamline their operations while fostering a harmonious partnership with the manager.
One long-term signing possibility for United is Rafael Venancio, a youngster from Corinthians. The Brazilian has a release clause of £25.7 million that United might utilise if they really like him that highly.
Also said to be joining United this summer is Benfica center-back Antonio Silva, as the Red Devils want to add the most promising young European talent to their roster. The young Portuguese defender has tremendous long-term potential, and he has the ability to greatly enhance a part of the field that has been lacking so far this season.
Man Utd to acquires world-class Osimhen from Chelsea
The Independent’s Miguel Delaney has reported that United are interested in signing Victor Osimhen this summer as a statement addition for Ratcliffe.
With a “€110m release clause makes him a rare young forward who is available,” he asserts, and the Red Devils and Paris Saint-Germain are “emerging as two of the main contenders” desperately looking put for the Napoli striker ahead of Chelsea.
Osimhen, who is now one of the top scorers in the world with 72 goals in 123 games for his present team, would be an intriguing acquisition for United when the season comes to a close. His status in the game has earned him the title of “world-class” according to Jose Mourinho, and Rasmus Højlund would finally get some appropriate competition and encouragement with his arrival.
The 25-year-old has all the makings of a Premier League sensation, with the kind of physique and precision finishing that Mourinho once likened to Didier Drogba. In fact, among attackers in the league right now, he could be the most reliable provider of goals.
| Match statistics for Osimhen and Hojlund in the league | Osimhen | Hojlund |
|---|---|---|
| Appearances | 16 | 20 |
| Starts | 14 | 17 |
| Goals | 11 | 7 |
| Assists | 3 | 2 |
| Shots per game | 3.2 | 1.5 |
| Aerial duel wins per game | 1.6 | 0.9 |
In spite of the fact that the addition of Osimhen may hinder Højlund’s development, United must be merciless in their dealings this summer, in addition to offering maximum competitiveness and team depth.
After the 3:1 thrashing to Manchester city in the weekend with several mistakes coming from the players, the board are finally deciding to go with the Napoli hit man come summer.
