With the summer transfer window entering its final stages for 2026, Manchester United manager Carrick is still planning to strengthen the squad before the window closes. This season, Manchester United will compete across multiple fronts. The team has completed several signings for midfielders and goalkeepers during the mid-season break, but the attacking line remains unstrengthened. Last-minute recruitment is now imminent, and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has become the primary target for the Red Devils.

Manchester United Summer Transfer Recap: Midfield Strengthened, Attack Still Vacant

This summer, Manchester United focused on a complete overhaul of their midfield, recruiting three talented midfielders – Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Carlos Baleba – to fully update the team's midfield rotation system. The goalkeeper position was also reinforced with experienced Karl Darlow, who serves as backup to primary goalkeeper Ramsdale, enhancing the depth of the goalkeeper rotation.

However, compared to the comprehensive strengthening of defense and midfield, Manchester United has so far yet to sign any striker, leaving a thin attacking line as the team's greatest weakness. Meanwhile, young player Collyer has officially departed the club, and the team urgently needs to bring in a quality striker to bolster their attack.

Major Revelation! Osimhen's Heart Set on Manchester United, Awaiting Red Devils' Offer

Manchester United legend and former striker Louis Saha revealed important information in an interview, confirming Osimhen's preference for Manchester United. Although this 27-year-old Nigerian international is also being pursued by other Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Tottenham this summer, his first choice has always been Manchester United, and he is currently waiting for an offer from the Red Devils.

"I can say with 100% certainty that Osimhen is a Manchester United fan, and he truly loves this club," Saha said directly. "I can see in his eyes what Manchester United means to him, and he is very confident he can perform at the highest level at Old Trafford and bring about qualitative change for the team."

Saha further analyzed: "Osimhen could be the next core player similar to Bruno Fernandes; he could quickly grasp Manchester United's tactical system. The only constraint at the moment is that both sides have not yet engaged in formal contact, and Osimhen is waiting for Manchester United to take action."

Perfect Alternative! Osimhen Better Suited for Manchester United Right Now Than Kane

Regarding Manchester United's earlier regret over missing out on Harry Kane, Saha believes the team has no need to dwell on it, as signing Osimhen would be a superior reinforcement that could perfectly compensate for that past transfer disappointment. In Saha's view, Osimhen is currently better suited for Manchester United at this stage than Kane would be.

With young striker Benjamin Šeško already in the squad, Osimhen's value would be maximized. He could not only teach Šeško striker techniques such as movement and finishing on the pitch, aiding the young player's development, but the two could also partner in the starting lineup. The compatibility and synergy of their attacking partnership would far exceed that of Kane and Šeško.

Last-Minute Transfer Drama Intensifies

Osimhen has now begun negotiations to leave, intending to end his spell at Galatasaray. In the competition among several Premier League clubs, Manchester United holds an absolute advantage due to the player's personal preference. In the final days of the summer window, Carrick is expected to make a major attacking reinforcement since taking over Manchester United, reshaping the team's offensive landscape for the new season.
