Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has urged the Red Devils to sign Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen to help struggling forward Rasmus Hojlund.
Ferdinand pinpointed the 2023 CAF African Footballer of The Year as the perfect candidate to not only score goals for United but also guide Hojlund, who has struggled to make an impact since his £70m move.
“I’d be going to get Osimhen now if we can do it from a financial standpoint. Get him on loan now! Guarantees you someone who can get on the end of things, scores goals, experienced, done it at the top level,” Ferdinand said.
The former England defender’s comments came after another disappointing performance from Hojlund in United’s narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage, where the Danish striker was substituted after 55 minutes.
