Victor Osimhen Agrees to Join Manchester United After Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Influence
Manchester United have successfully secured one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, as manager Ruben Amorim confirmed that Victor Osimhen has agreed to join the club following direct involvement from Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
In a surprising turn of events set to impact the summer transfer window, Amorim expressed his excitement over landing the Nigerian forward.
“Osimhen has agreed to join us, and I’m delighted. Sir Jim Ratcliffe played a crucial role in making this happen,” Amorim told reporters.
Osimhen’s future had been the subject of intense speculation, with clubs like Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid also in the race to sign him. However, United’s persistence—bolstered by Ratcliffe’s influence—helped them secure one of football’s most clinical strikers.
At 25, Osimhen has been instrumental for Napoli, guiding them to a Serie A title in 2023 while consistently delivering top performances. His ability to outmuscle defenders, link up play, and score decisive goals makes him a perfect addition to Manchester United’s new era under Amorim.
With United struggling for a reliable goal-scorer last season, Osimhen’s arrival is expected to revolutionize their attack. His mix of power, speed, and finishing will provide the club with a world-class No. 9 capable of leading the frontline for years.
Fans have flooded social media with excitement, praising Ratcliffe for making a strong statement early in his leadership at Old Trafford.
The final details of the transfer are expected to be completed soon, with an official announcement to follow shortly.
