Man United Plan To Sign Another Nigerian Striker Should They Miss Getting Victor Osimhen

• Nigerian forward Gift Orban could be heading to Manchester United this summer
• The Premier League side is looking for a reliable youngster to help them get the goals
• Manchester United currently occupies the fourth position on the Premier League table

Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Nigerian forward, Gift Orban, as a summer transfer option should they miss the signing of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is reported to be the Red Devils' main target following his impressive outing this term helping Napoli to win the Scudetto after waiting for 33 years.

However, landing Osimhen this summer may be difficult for United considering how other big European clubs are also looking for the signature of the Super Eagles star.

United are looking for a reliable young striker who can help the team for many years and they see Osimhen fitting into that category.
