According to Manchester Evening News, former Manchester United players Butt and Saha are both recommending their former club to consider signing Galatasaray striker Osimhen.

It is reported that Manchester United under Carrick considered strengthening the striker position this summer but ultimately decided against making new signings. Sesko has impressed in the second half of his debut season at Manchester United and is expected to lead the attack once fully fit. With Sesko sidelined for most of preseason, Mbeumo and Cunha have taken turns playing as an emergency striker.

The 27-year-old Osimhen has been linked with a summer move, with Arsenal and Tottenham reported to be interested. Butt is confident Osimhen could provide healthy competition for Sesko.

Butt told Midnite: "I would consider Rashford as a striker because I think Cunha and Mbeumo might be better suited to the wing areas. Sesko could also play occasionally."

Speaking about Osimhen, Butt said: "I think Osimhen could be signed. He's not beyond the reach of a club like Manchester United. I'm not saying he's a superstar who will immediately walk into the starting XI."

Butt added: "We should only discuss players who could realistically be signed. There's no point talking about top stars who are completely unattainable. So I would quietly monitor Osimhen. Physically and pace-wise, he would be an excellent fit for the Premier League."

Earlier this year, Butt already recommended Manchester United sign Osimhen. He believes the attempt to use Sesko as the primary striker has not succeeded, and Manchester United needs to add experience to that position, especially now that the team has returned to the Champions League. Osimhen's reported weekly salary at Galatasaray is £200,000.

In March, Butt told Paddy Power: "Osimhen is physically strong, quick, and can run in behind the defence. He's excellent in duels, has good footwork, can score in different ways, and is strong in the air."

Butt also said: "I know Osimhen hasn't proven himself in the Premier League, but given his physicality and style of play, he would certainly be able to adapt."

Another former Manchester United player, Louis Saha, also recommended his former club consider signing the Nigerian international. Saha told MrGamble: "I can assure you that Osimhen is a Manchester United fan. He loves Manchester United. I can see in his eyes how much this club means to him, and he also knows what he could bring to this team."

Saha added: "Osimhen could be another player like Bruno Fernandes, someone who would quickly understand the club. Manchester United just needs to contact him, but that step hasn't happened yet. Osimhen is still waiting."
