According to William Gallas, a former Chelsea defender, Victor Osimhen would be better off with Manchester United rather than Arsenal. In order to back up his claim, the Frenchman used Cristiano Ronaldo, a former star for the Red Devils.
After his split with Napoli’s upper management, rumors began circulating that Osimhen was interested in joining Chelsea, Manchester United, or Arsenal. After a deal fell through, he spent a season on loan with Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray.
As the 2024–25 season winds down, speculation about the player’s future has heated up, with many believing he could be heading to the Premier League.
The ex-Arsenal great told Prime Casino that the Nigerian international could easily become a top scorer in the Premier League.
While he acknowledged that Arsenal is under more pressure than ever before to win immediately, he had reservations about the striker’s flexibility and suggested that United would be a better match for Osimhen.
He expressed his belief that Victor Osimhen possesses the ideal profile to become a Premier League superstar. He has the ability to lengthen plays and the backlines.
He creates space for other attackers to run into, and any Premier League club might benefit from his services. He’s a lifelong student, but how much time does it take him to adjust to something new?
Foreign players typically struggle in their first season, but we’ve seen it all before. It is completely normal for them to step up in the second season.
There were hints in Ronaldo’s second season, but even he wasn’t the Ronaldo we know now in his first year. Which team makes the difference. Arsenal requires an immediate impact player if they are to achieve their immediate goal of winning the Premier League next season. There is no time for them.
From their current position, Manchester United do not require a league title. Perhaps they will be able to give Osimhen the attention he need if they finish in the top four or five.
