"Osimhen has enormous room for improvement and it is already devastating like this.

"The header is his trademark , he frees himself well on the goal, it is his main characteristic. Spalletti knows well that he can work on it and make him grow even more."

Jose Peseiro hails Osimhen

Meanwhile, the head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Jose Peseiro, has applauded Victor Osimhen, who is in blistering form for Napoli this season.

Osimhen has scored 9 goals in 13 Serie A matches this campaign, and his efforts have helped the Parthenope remain top of the standings.

Despite injury concerns, the former Lille of France striker has contributed immensely to the Italian club since he joined the outfit in the summer of 2020.

Ronaldo has entered into the final months of his two-year contract with the Red Devils, penned after his reunion with the club during the summer of 2021.

While United have the option of triggering a one-year extension in his deal, that is unlikely to happen, especially considering the striker's struggles this season.
