Patrice Evra believes Victor Osimhen would be the perfect addition to Manchester United next season, reports Completesports.com.
Currently on the books of Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray, Osimhen is considered one of the finest strikers in the world.
The Nigeria international has been linked with Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea in the past.
Spanish giants Real Madrid, and Barcelona are the latest clubs to be linked with the prolific striker.
Evra’s Affection For Osimhen
Asked to name one player he would like Manchester United to sign in the next transfer window, former full-back Evra told GOAL: “Osimhen. I have great respect for Galatasaray, the love they have for him, 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.”
Louis Saha’s View
Evra is not the first former Manchester United player to urge the club to make a move for Victor Osimhen.
Former Red Devils striker Louis Saha, who understands the demands of leading the line at Old Trafford, previously said, “I really like Victor Osimhen. He’s definitely got the character and the quality.
“He’s also got good European pedigree. He was successful in France, became a champion in Italy with Napoli and has gone to Turkey with Galatasaray and been brilliant, despite it probably not being the move he originally wanted.’
“He’s scored goals at every level. He’s got Champions League experience and the type of personality and charisma this United squad could really benefit from.
“I think he would be a transformational signing for Manchester United. If you think about the pressure he handled at Napoli, leading the club to its first title in 33 years, then he’s the perfect man to lead the line for Manchester United. I think he would have a huge impact at United. I would love to see the club hierarchy move for him because I think he is exactly what we need.”
