Rio Ferdinand, a Manchester United legend, has urged the club to make a serious effort to acquire Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen before the January transfer window closes. His comments come in light of the challenges faced by Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in finding the net for the team. In a discussion on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand emphasized the importance of signing the Nigerian international to boost the team’s scoring capabilities. “I have been closely observing Hojlund in the last two matches… it just doesn’t seem to work,” Ferdinand stated in his video. “If we can manage it financially, I would pursue Osimhen immediately.” Acquire him on a loan deal immediately! “It ensures you have someone capable of finishing opportunities, scoring goals, and who possesses the experience of competing at the highest level. I believe that since Hojlund cost around £70 million, there are expectations for him to be the complete player right away.” Regrettably, he is not. He is a young forward, but typically a striker at that age would join a team and gain experience from a more seasoned player. He doesn’t have anyone to mentor him… “He’s observing [Joshua] Zirkzee, who is similar to him.” Both individuals require guidance to understand what it means to be a No. 9 for Manchester United. Do you have what it takes?
