Former Striker Dimitar Berbatov Reveals Why He Wants Osimhen at Man Utd Ahead of Harry Kane

• Victor Osimhen remains on the radar of Manchester United, who are also targeting Tottenham forward Harry Kane
• Former Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov has suggested that he prefers Osimhen at Old Trafford
• According to the Bulgarian, Kane is undoubtedly a prolific goalscorer, but age is already catching up with the forward

Ahead of the forthcoming summer transfer window, former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has disclosed that he wants to see Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are also eyeing the Tottenham forward Harry Kane, but Berbatov believes that the England striker is already of age.

United are desperate to sign a proven striker and are already making moves to land Kane before the start of the coming season.

The 29-year-old has already notched in over 200 Premier League goals, including 23 this season, but he is yet to win any major trophy in his career.

He will turn 30 in the summer and Berbatov has suggested that Osimhen’s age should be considered by United compared to Kane. He told Mail:

“You cannot argue with the goalscoring record of Harry Kane. But the one concern I have is that age, he is [almost] 30 so nobody’s getting any younger. And in my mind, this is going to be a major concern if someone is going to buy him.

“When you say Spurs, the first thing on my mind is Harry Kane. So that legacy, it’s just too big for him to tarnish.

“It’s so difficult because you need someone who’s going to score goals, someone who’s going to be the right age so he can develop and get better and better and better.

“You have to use him for years to come and in my mind, that is Osimhen. This is the type of player I’d like to see for United.”
