Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly emerged as summer transfer target for Premier League side Manchester United who are preparing for the exit of Ronaldo.
Last season in all competitions, Manchester United relied on Cristiano Ronaldo to deliver the goals for them, and the Portugal international did not disappoint even though the club did not win any title.
Also, Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League and this has thrown Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford into serious doubt.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner wants to continue his football in the Champions League as he has never in his career played in the Europa League.
