Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand believes Victor Osimhen would be a more beneficial signing for the Red Devils than Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku. Ferdinand emphasizes the need for a mentor for Rasmus Hojlund, highlighting the young striker's struggles to hold up the ball and maintain possession.
Rio Ferdinand has advised Manchester United to prioritize signing a £62 million striker who can guide Rasmus Hojlund over Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku . While Nkunku has netted 13 goals for Chelsea this season, primarily in the UEFA Conference League, Ferdinand believes Victor Osimhen would be a more valuable asset to Manchester United .
\Ferdinand highlighted Hojlund's struggles to hold up the ball during United's 1-0 win against Fulham, stating that he expects teammates to have expressed concern about his performance. He pointed out that Hojlund's frequent turnovers hinder United's ability to maintain possession and create scoring opportunities in the final third. Ferdinand emphasized the need for Hojlund to learn from an experienced striker, stating that he lacks a mentor to guide him as the club's primary striker.\The former Manchester United defender, speaking on his YouTube channel, expressed his belief that Osimhen, who came close to joining Chelsea and PSG in the summer but instead joined Galatasaray on loan, would be the perfect addition. Osimhen has scored 16 goals in 20 appearances for Galatasaray, demonstrating his goalscoring prowess. Ferdinand believes that Osimhen's experience and leadership qualities would benefit Hojlund's development while also providing the much-needed goals for Manchester United. He acknowledges that Osimhen's transfer from Napoli is likely to occur in the summer due to his loan agreement with Galatasaray
