Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has called on the Red Devils to go all out to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen before the close of the January transfer window.
The former England international made this known on the backdrop of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s inability to score goals for the team.
In an interview on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand urged Man United to sign the Nigerian international in order to help the team with goals.
“I have watched Hojlund closely the last two games… it just doesn’t add up,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“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, score goals, is experienced, and has done it at the top level.
“I just feel like because Hojlund was £70m-odd, we’re expecting the finished article. Unfortunately, he is not. He’s a young striker, but normally a striker of that age comes in and learns off someone. He’s got nobody to learn from.
“He’s looking at [Joshua] Zirkzee, who’s like him. They both need someone to learn what it takes to be a Manchester United No. 9.
