Patrice Evra has identified Victor Osimhen as the dream addition for his former club Manchester United ahead of next season.
The prolific Nigeria international striker, who is currently on the books of Galatasaray, has been heavily linked with a Premier League move across several transfer windows.
Despite intense speculation linking him with clubs from Merseyside to west London, no deal has materialised.
Instead, the 27-year-old has been in scintillating form in Turkey, helping Galatasaray win back-to-back league titles while interest in his services continues to grow.
Before moving to Turkey, Osimhen inspired S.S.C. Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
Asked to pick one player he would like to see United sign in the next transfer window, former full-back Evra told GOAL, “Osimhen. I have all due respect for Galatasaray, the love he gets there and the kind of player he is.
“Man United need a proper striker, and I have so much respect for the strikers at Man United, and sometimes Bryan Mbeumo. But back in the day, we had four amazing strikers, and if you want to compete in every competition, you need more strikers.
“Of course, you need some defenders, like an extra left-back and right-back because injuries can happen. Of course, Casemiro is leaving, so you need to replace those players.
“But if I have to name one player, I’ll say Osimhen because I know he can make the difference.”
Evra is not the first former United player to urge the club to move for Osimhen.
