Victor Osimhen visits Odion Ighalo following a social media rant against Finidi George, while his potential transfer to Manchester United faces obstacles due to injury concerns, with Chelsea pulling out of negotiations.
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen recently visited former Manchester United forward Odion Ighalo, following a controversial online outburst aimed at ex-Super Eagles coach Finidi George. Osimhen's Instagram Live rant was sparked by allegations that Finidi had faked an injury. During the live session, Ighalo intervened, advising Osimhen to calm down and end the broadcast.
Osimhen, who was recently named the 2023 CAF Player of the Year, met with Ighalo during his summer break. Ighalo, a mentor to Osimhen, has been vocal about his belief that Osimhen would thrive at Manchester United. He told Sky Sports, "Having Osimhen and Rashford will cause any defender panic. If Osimhen asks me for advice on what he should do, I’d advise him to join Manchester United because it’s the biggest club."
However, Osimhen’s potential transfer from Napoli has faced challenges. Chelsea recently withdrew from negotiations over concerns about his injury history. Italian media reports suggest that if no better offers come through, Osimhen might stay at Napoli for another season.
This situation has generated significant discussion among fans and pundits, especially with Ighalo’s endorsement of a move to Manchester United and Osimhen’s visible frustration with past coaching decisions. Despite the transfer uncertainties, Osimhen’s talent and potential continue to make headlines.
