Ex-Man Utd Star Rafael Urges Amorim To Sell Hojlund Buy Osimhen

Former Manchester United defender Rafael da Silva has urged manager Ruben Amorim to sell Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund and sign Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen this summer. Rafael criticized Hojlund's underwhelming performance at Old Trafford, where he scored only four Premier League goals this season, while praising Osimhen's prolific form as the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig with 25 goals. Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has attracted interest from several clubs including Chelsea and Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli, following a standout season that earned him the 2023 African Footballer of the Year award. Rafael expressed strong preference for Osimhen, calling him a complete striker and clearly superior to Hojlund, though he is unsure if Hojlund will remain at Manchester United. Despite Amorim's public defense of Hojlund, speculation is growing about a potential Osimhen transfer to bolster Manchester United's attacking options next season. Osimhen's loan at Galatasaray is ending, and he is unlikely to return to Napoli, making a move to the Premier League a possibility.
