Manchester United may be in the market for a new striker in January but they can forget about Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli has sent a warning to clubs interested in the Nigerian striker that the club are not looking to make any changes to their squad in January.
As quoted by Fabrizio Romano, Giuntoli said: “We are currently not focused on the market – and we’re not planning to do anything in January. We want to keep this squad.”

You can understand why when you look at Napoli in Serie A and the Champions League this season. They are a team on an upward trajectory and selling a key player like Osimhen midway through the season would be a terrible move.
They are three points clear at the top of Serie A and top their Champions League group going into the final game. Osimhen has managed five goals in nine games and there has been speculation over a switch to Old Trafford.
United will have to wait if they want Osimhen and he could cost north of £100 million, as per Tuttosport.
Let us know in the comments section if you think United should move for Osimhen.
Victor Osimhen should not bother going to man United because they are destiny killers. If he wants to come to EPL I think he should go to man city or any other club in the EPL apart from man u and Liverpool, or he should better still remain at Napoli for now because he is getting enough support there, well, you never can tell anything can happen.
