BREAKING NEWS: Rúben Amorim Demands Victor Osimhen Signing as He Prepares to Axe Højlund and Antony from Manchester United.
Rúben Amorim has reportedly made a bold demand to Manchester United’s board, insisting that signing Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, should be their top priority for the upcoming season. The Portuguese manager is said to be growing increasingly frustrated with the performances of Rasmus Højlund and Antony Santos, whom he believes have failed to meet expectations in crucial moments.
According to reports, Amorim is adamant about bringing Osimhen to Old Trafford, allegedly stating that he would accept only one major signing if it meant securing the prolific Nigerian forward. He is said to be unimpressed with the contributions of Højlund, who arrived from Atalanta with high expectations, and Antony, whose hefty price tag has yet to be justified by consistent performances. Amorim’s supposed frustration stems from United’s underwhelming campaign, where attacking inconsistency cost them in key competitions.
Osimhen, who played a vital role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph with 31 goals in all competitions, is viewed as the ideal solution to United’s goal-scoring struggles. However, acquiring him would come at a steep price, with Napoli reportedly demanding at least £120 million for their prized asset. To make room for such a signing, United might need to offload players who have underperformed and generate additional funds.
Fans have taken to social media to react to Amorim’s rumored stance, with many supporting the idea of bringing in Osimhen while others express concern over the manager’s apparent blunt approach. Some argue that such public criticism could harm team morale, while others believe drastic changes are necessary for United to compete at the highest level.
With the summer transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on Manchester United’s board to see if they can fulfill Amorim’s demands. The message from the manager appears clear—he expects significant reinforcements to reshape the squad and bring the club back to its former glory. The futures of Højlund and Antony remain uncertain, as they now face the challenge of proving their worth or potentially being shown the exit door.
