Manchester United legend Nicky Butt believes his former club should consider signing Osimhen this summer, while also suggesting that Rashford's resurgence this season could be worth a £70 million transfer in itself.

"I think Rashford should be tried as a centre-forward because I think Cunha and Mbeumo might be better on the wing. I'm very confident. Sesko could also come in and make an impact occasionally," Butt said in an interview with 'The Midnight Show' while discussing Manchester United's striker situation.

"I think Osimhen could be brought in. I think a club like Manchester United might be able to sign him. I'm not saying he's a superstar – if he was, it would be a given. You just need to talk about players you could realistically recruit. There's no point talking about the biggest stars because you can't sign them."

"So I'd quietly keep an eye on him. I think physically and in terms of pace, he's a very good fit for the Premier League."

Butt also commented on Rashford's early season form, explaining why he believes the striker represents a "£70 million signing" for Manchester United this season.

"Are we witnessing the start of a beautiful redemption story for Rashford? You'd certainly hope so," Butt added.

"For someone who's had a few difficult years at Manchester United, it would be a truly inspiring story. He came through the academy to become a superstar and has the potential to reach Mbappé's level."

"He performed decently at Aston Villa after leaving, then went to Barcelona and did well, but then everything changed drastically for the worse. The reception he's receiving now is truly remarkable."

"Think about it – few clubs would give a player such a welcome after they've left for whatever reason. He's back now. When he's at his best, he's clearly one of Europe's top players."

"But the issue with Marcus is he must stay focused at all times, because the moment he slips – there will be criticism from within the club. It's bound to happen."

"People will ask 'Does he really want to be here? Is his heart in it?' But without question, he's like a £70 million signing."
