Man United fans wowed by ‘Victor Osimhen swap deal’ after journalist’s reveal
Man United fans have urged the club to sign Viktor Osimhen after an update on their pursuit of a striker this summer, which could involve an exit going the other way.
Man United’s struggles in front of goal have been one of the most glaring issues under Ruben Amorim this season despite the heavy investment in their frontline.
With Rasmus Hojlund only recently ending a 20-game goal drought and Joshua Zirkzee failing to make a consistent impact, reinforcing the attack is expected to be a priority in the summer transfer window.
Man United have been heavily linked to Viktor Gyokeres, though Arsenal have now emerged as a potential destination for his signature.
Other names on United’s radar include Hugo Ekitike and Liam Delap, but the player who excites fans the most is Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen was previously close to joining Chelsea, and with a summer move now looking increasingly likely, there will be no shortage of clubs vying for his signature as Man United look to join the race.
Napoli interest in Alejandro Garnacho could lead to Victor Osimhen swap deal
Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail has reported that Osimhen remains “on Manchester United’s radar” and that a summer transfer “could feasibly involve a swap deal” with Alejandro Garnacho.
Napoli had a bid rejected for Garnacho in the January window, as they viewed him as a possible replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who eventually moved to PSG.
With Osimhen’s future at Napoli increasingly uncertain, a potential exchange involving the Argentine winger could be on the cards.
Man United fans have long called for the club to sign Osimhen, particularly after reports emerged that scouts had been sent to watch him in action for Galatasaray this season.
The Nigerian striker has continued his prolific form in Turkey, netting 28 goals and providing five assists across all competitions.

Man United consider Osimhen deal as Garnacho’s form raises concerns
Garnacho has faced criticism this season for his performances, with many fans calling for him to be sold after an underwhelming campaign.
Garnacho was also linked with a move to Chelsea in January, with a proposed swap deal involving Christopher Nkunku, but no agreement was reached, and both players remained at their respective clubs.
With the winger’s struggles continuing, speculation over his future has only intensified. The latest update regarding Osimhen has excited United supporters, with some eager to see a deal happen.
One fan wrote: “Can we do the swap now? Like NOW now” while another added: “They can take Garnacho and we add them some more cash”.
