Man Utd urged to break the bank and sign €100m striker who can become next Van Nistelrooy

Manchester United have been told that they should sign another centre-forward after Joshua Zirkzee, with an incredible move for Victor Osimhen suggested.

Zirkzee was targeted by both Arsenal and AC Milan earlier this year, but it is Man Utd who have captured him on a long-term contract. Man Utd have landed the Dutch striker after agreeing a deal with Bologna worth slightly more than his £34million release clause.

Zirkzee, 23, will provide competition and cover for current No 9 Rasmus Hojlund, who was overstretched last season trying to lead Man Utd’s attack for the full campaign.

Man Utd chiefs Dan Ashworth and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are now looking at other areas of the squad that need strengthening, such as central defence and the midfield. The Red Devils have already brought in Leny Yoro and will look at players such as Matthijs de Ligt, Jarrad Branthwaite and Manuel Ugarte next.

Man Utd news: Osimhen would be a ‘proper striker’ for Ten Hag

“Proper strikers are dying but it’s easy to see that Osimhen is one of them.”

It is an interesting time for Saha to compare Osimhen with Van Nistelrooy, as the Dutch coach has recently returned to Old Trafford to become part of Ten Hag’s backroom staff.
