After taking over a minority stake at Manchester United, INEOS have now been controlling the football side of the proceedings.
Last summer was the first time they made incomings and outgoings. However, the new directors came late, and it was a disappointing window as they have endured a dire campaign this season.
News – Man Utd ready to cut £950,000 a week wages to secure key signing – Report
After one whole year, they have gotten their feet under the table, and this is going to be an important transfer window for the Red Devils.
Man Utd are reportedly planning to overhaul the squad to help Ruben Amorim turn the situation around next term, and signing a new striker is their priority, having struggled with goal-scoring issues this campaign.
Italian outlet, Tutto Sport, claim that Man Utd are intent on getting their hands on Napoli outcast Victor Osimhen, who has been out on a season-long loan to Galatasaray.
The Red Devils have already reached a basic agreed over wages with the Nigerian’s representatives. As far as the fee is concerned, his current contract includes a £64m[€75m] release clause for clubs outside Italy.
United have found themselves in financial difficulties, and they could offer Rasmus Hojlund in a part-exchange deal to lower Napoli’s valuation.
The Dane has had a poor time at Old Trafford since joining from Atalanta ahead of last term, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if Amorim’s side part ways with him.
Osimhen is a proven goalscorer and previously helped Napoli win the Scudetto. This season, he has continued to showcase his goal-scoring prowess with the Cimbom, scoring 30 goals and registering six assists in 34 appearances in all competitions.
The 26-year-old is currently at the prime stage of his career and has the physicality to flourish in the Premier League. Therefore, he could be an excellent acquisition for Man Utd should they hire him. What do you think?
