It was an extraordinary match, a perfect advertisement for the football Premier League, considered by many to be the best league in the world. Reuben AmorimTheir side were expected to be subjected to a drain but they actually looked the braver of the two sides, which is certainly worth their point.
There is still a need for more in attack. Marcus Rashford has been absent recently and, if he is to leave this year, he will need a suitable replacement. Moreover, Rasmus HojlundThe struggles in front of goal continue and INEOS are beginning to examine the market for a new number nine.
Man Utd looking to sign Jan
According to the working day of the Nigerian outletManchester United are looking to complete an incredible January transfer for Victor Osimhenwho is currently on loan with Galatasaray in Turkey after the deadline day fiasco ended potential routes to Chelsea or the Saudi Pro League.

Although United would have to break the bank to sign the Nigerian striker, forking out €75m (£62m) to convince parent club Napoli, there is no doubt that this would be a deal to re-establish Old Trafford as a European superpower.

What Victor Osimhen would bring to Man Utd
Manchester United have long been separated from roaring success for so many years, there is no doubt. Too many times the wheel has turned and ended up on the starting axis, a cyclical cycle of promise and capitulation.
But there is hope. Under Amorim’s auspices, the beginnings of an exciting tactical identity are on display, and that’s without talking of the fervor and fervor that befits a badge. Anfield was reduced to a smaller version, unable to contain United’s pressure which made for a thrilling contest.
Mistakes in transfers were often a sticking point, but Osimhen – described as a “monster” striker football analyst Ben Mattinson – is of the highest quality and could finally be the talisman the club needs to get them back on the rise after such a long absence.
Osimhen’s divorce from Napoli was an ugly affair, but that does not diminish the great achievements with the 26-year-old scoring 31 goals in all competitions in the 2022/23 season, while Luciano Spalletti led the title-winning Scudetto triumph.
While he wouldn’t have predicted his current campaign would play out in the Turkish Super League, the elite goalscorer has produced some standout results, netting 18 goals in 16 games, with two Europa League wins over Tottenham Hotspur.

Recent teams include Gala, Napoli and Lille, it’s clear that Osimhen has what it takes to be a Man United superstar, with his predatory instinct combined with strong physicality and a dynamic approach, excellent with his link-up play and creative range.
United have an expensive centre-forward Rasmus Hojlundbut the Dane is struggling to prove he has what it takes at the moment and Amorim must aim for the best, lest the Red Devils suffer more turbulence in the coming years.
How Osimhen compares with Rasmus Hojlund
Man United didn’t exactly get their money’s worth with Hojlund. He may only be 21, but he’s got the number nine scored 12 goals in 45 appearances in the Premier League of signed from Atalanta for £72m in July 2023.
He has a big future, this guy, described as a striker with a “monstrous” profile Ruben Selleswho trained him in Copenhagen but is not there yet.
A united fight for cohesion, especially in terms of their play and direction through the central area. They created 42 great chances from 20 Premier League appearances this term (which ranks them ninth), which equates to 2.1 per game.
Last season, United’s creative success was actually worse, as they finished joint 12th with just Created 60 great opportunities throughout the campaign, which amounts to 1.57 per game.
According to Sofascorethe Danish talent has a rather poor 0.7 shots per game in the top flight this term, and while he does struggle to serve, he fails to capitalize on the chances that come his way, missing a glorious opportunity at Anfield and consequently being tagged with a match rating of 5/10 from sides MEN Samuel Luckhurst.
The problem is that Joshua Zirkzee is also failing to produce meaningful results, which significantly limits United’s frontal range. That’s all the more reason to initiate a potentially future-defining move for Osimhen, who averaged 3.3 shots per game in his career. according to WhoScoredand only 21.8 touches per Super League match this year, collecting 13 goals.
Like all the best strikers, he is clinical and lethal. He knows that he will not accept the blows of the central defender. Erling Haaland has been out of sorts this season, but still scored 16 goals in the Premier League at home, taking 22.5 touches per game.
Hojlund is simply not doing enough and may be carrying too heavy a load at this early stage of his high potential career.
With recent reports suggesting that Zirkzee is already unhappy at the Theater of Dreams and he wanted to return to Italian footballHojlund could get a stay of execution. After all, he is only 21 years old and may yet become a top center forward.
However, Man United need immediate results if they are to make real progress in the coming campaigns, and a striker of Osimhen’s ilk could be perfect.
