Manchester United are heading into the summer transfer window knowing they will need to improve their squad on a budget.
After missing out on Champions League qualification, Ruben Amorim and Ineos will not be able to rely on the funds that participation in the competition provides. Despite this, United do need to make additions to their attack with Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap both seen as top targets.
Osimhen frustrated by United
According to FootMercato, Galatasaray loanee Osimhen is frustrated that United have not made a move for him yet. It is understood the Nigerian centre-forward wants to sort a transfer for himself quickly this summer having missed out on a permanent exit last year.
While his desire would be to stay in Europe and United could be an option he would explore, their lack of interest has frustrated him and Osimhen is now contemplating the advance from Al Hilal. Ineos are believed to be uninterested by the prospect of signing the striker this summer.
What MEN Sport says: Surely United are only uninterested at the prospect of signing Osimhen because of his reported wage demands. While Delap is one for the future, the Nigerian has proven himself to be one of the best strikers in European football in recent years. If there is a scenario whereby he wants to move to Old Trafford, surely it is worth having that conversation to see if his wages can be shifted in line with United’s demands. The idea of potentially missing out on Osimhen will frustrate supporters, especially as there are question marks over whether Delap will be able to score consistently too.
