Done Deal: Victor Osimhen Completes Medical at Manchester United
Manchester United have completed the signing of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, with the 25-year-old passing his medical and finalising personal terms at Carrington earlier today. The high-profile transfer from Napoli marks one of the biggest moves of the summer window and signals United’s intent to return to elite status under Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils are believed to have triggered Osimhen’s release clause—reportedly in the region of £100 million—bringing an end to months of speculation surrounding the forward’s future. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain were also heavily linked, but United moved swiftly to secure their man.
Osimhen, who scored 26 goals in all competitions last season, has been one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers since firing Napoli to the Serie A title in 2023. His explosive pace, clinical finishing, and relentless work rate make him a perfect fit for Ten Hag’s high-pressing system.
Sources close to the club suggest Osimhen will wear the iconic number 9 shirt and is expected to link up with his new teammates immediately for pre-season preparations. His arrival is seen as a statement of intent following a disappointing 2024 campaign in which United struggled for consistency in front of goal.
Speaking after the announcement, Osimhen said: “It’s a dream come true to join Manchester United. I’ve followed the club since I was a kid, and now I’m ready to give everything to bring success back to Old Trafford.”
Fans are already buzzing with excitement as Osimhen becomes United’s marquee signing of the summer. With the Nigerian now officially a Red Devil, all eyes will be on how quickly he can adapt to the Premier League and deliver the goals United so desperately need.
