Manchester United have scored among the fewest goals in the division with the Red Devils striking the net 46 times in 33 games so far. The culprits? Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
£64m Højlund has managed just three league goals and £36.5m Zirkzee mirrors the Dane with similar stats.
This lack of attacking firepower has led technical director Jason Wilcox looking for solutions and the two names that the rumor mill has linked with Manchester United are Victor Osimhen and Liam Delap.
The 22-year-old Ipswich Town sensation Liam Delap has emerged as a top target due to his £30m-£40m release clause which will get triggered if Ipswich face relegation.
Some might suggest that United should prioritize Delap over pricier options because of his Premier League experience and affordability.
However, Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, remains a fan favorite.
The Nigerian striker’s £63m price tag and £9.4m annual wage demands pose financial hurdles, but his proven pedigree keeps him in the conversation.
While Delap has been a bright spot for relegation-threatened Ipswich, scoring 12 goals in 30 Premier League games, Osimhen has notched 29 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions.
Fans overwhelmingly favor the 26 yo Osimhen –
As United chase Europa League glory for Champions League qualification, fans had made their thoughts clear as to who they see as their future No. 9.
