EPL: Sign Osimhen instead of Gyokeres – Ferdinand advises Man United

Rio Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has advised his former club to sign Victor Osimhen instead of Viktor Gyokeres.

The Red Devils are in search of more firepower upfront after an underwhelming campaign.

The duo of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to deliver the goods, with United finishing in a disappointing 15th position on the table.

Ruben Amorim’s side also lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the UEFA Europa League.

Gyokeres, who had an outstanding campaign for Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

The forward scored 39 goals and registered eight assists to help Sporting Lisbon clinch the Portuguese League title.

Despite his impressive form in front of goal, Ferdinand believed Osimhen would be a better fit for his old club.

“I think Gyokeres, everyone’s talking about him. Again, I think if I’m looking at the market now and I had to pick him or Osimhen, I’d probably pick Osimhen because of that experience,” the former England international told the Mirror.

Paris Saint-Germain manager, Luis Enrique, has warned his team about threats posed by key players in the Inter Miami squad.

Both teams face off in the 2025 Club World Cup last 16 on Sunday.

Enrique has now singled out the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in the MLS side.

“I’ve seen all three of Inter Miami’s games and some previous ones, and they have that quality.

“If we’re not able to press them, it will be difficult to pressure them.

“If we’re not able to take the ball away from them, things don’t look good because Busquets is still the same; Leo Messi is unique on the ball.

“Luis Suárez, you saw the last goal he scored, what a skill for managing, Jordi Alba coming in deep, he’s still the same,” Enrique told reporters.
