Even without a horrendous defeat at Anfield, it was obvious that Manchester United need a proper striker. Marcus Rashford is in great form and can’t stop scoring (well, he actually stopped in Liverpool), but even the United’s legend sir Alex Ferguson is aware that the youngster is not the proper striker. “I don’t think he’s a striker. He operates from the left-hand side fantastic, his finishing is always good. Unfortunately for us, Rashford is the main source of goals, we could do with an extra one” said the famous Scotsman after the Carabao Cup finals win over Newcastle. And coach Erik Ten Hag knows it too. Wout Weghorst is not the answer and even if he managed to convert his loan to a permanent transfer at Old Trafford, he won’t be the first choice.”I grew up watching Didier Drogba and ever since I chose Drogba as my role model, it has been really helpful to me”Best Foreign Athlete in Italy, Victor Osimhen pic.twitter.com/bRQFrqLyfx— 🐬 @𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗯𝗼𝘆 (@OneJoblessBoy) March 6, 2023 Enter Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is having a dream season in Napoli. He registered 19 goals and three assists from his 20 appearances in Serie A so far and became the first player in Napoli’s history to score in eight consecutive league matches. That is one of the reasons he won the ‘Best Foreign Player in Italy’ award by the Foreign Press Association. The British media are connecting the Nigerian with United for weeks now, and this award was the perfect opportunity to ask Osimhen the Premier League question. “Playing in Serie A is wonderful for me. I know that people consider the Premier League to be the best league in the world, but for now I’m not thinking about it, I don’t know what will happen. I’m working hard and I’m happy to play in Naples. I’m doing my best to achieve my goals and maybe to play in the Premier League one day but for now, I’m enjoying the moment. For me, Serie A remains a great challenge, with different characteristics from other leagues and with fans who always make you feel their support. In that regard, for me, it’s the best league” said the Nigerian. Surgeon: Osimhen could have lost his sightAccompanied by his boss and Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis, Osimhen was sure to acknowledge the city of Naples and it’s passionate fans. “When you arrive in Naples as a footballer, you fall in love with the sport even more. People dedicate their lives to football, to supporting the city and the team and this drives me to have a mission to do well for these people. They make me very happy and I want to give them something unforgettable. When I arrived in 2020, they immediately showed me great love and I want to repay them on the pitch. Everyone here has been brilliant, from the president to the coach and including the players. We all have the opportunity to become icons of this city” said Osimhen. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7068332##
