Reuben the Amorite released his first successful speech as Manchester United The boss made a late comeback to beat Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad.

Punishment for delay from Bruno Fernandes it appears that he has taken influence from Man United in the past Amad Diallo he stole in front of goalkeeper Ederson to head home Lisandro Martinez's clip behind City Defense.

The result may not have lifted United up the Premier League table but it has raised spirits and hopes at Old Trafford and was the club's second successive win following a 2-1 win at Plzen in the league. Europa League.

However, the main issue ahead of the Manchester derby was the striker's absence Marcus Rashford from the entire sports team. It looks like Rashford's days at United may be over and all eyes will be on Amorim's replacement - an area where United have been in need of strengthening.

Rashford's replacement is being pursued by Man United

Rasmus Hojlund has struggled to adapt to his first season in English football scoring just two goals in the Premier League until now, while co-star Joshua Zirkzee is alone he scored three goals in his Premier League debut.

Rashford was expected by many to fill the role when new boss Ruben Amorim arrives, but the Englishman has struggled to get a chance to play well this season. four goals to his name - one of those coming on for Amorim's first game against Ipswich.

However, Rashford did not start United's big game against Arsenal and was left out of the matchday squad against Manchester City. This has raised doubts about his future under the new manager and it appears that Man United are looking to replace him.

According to CaughtOffside, Man United are looking to beat Chelsea to the signing of striker Victor Osimhenwho is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Italian giants Napoli. It is said that a connection has been established to see what happens at the start.

Osimhen - who has been identified as the Red Devils' top target - has attracted interest from a number of clubs, but it appears United are keen to bring the Nigerian striker to Old Trafford in January, seemingly paving the way for Rashford's exit.

It won't be an easy task for United to defend, however and a released share of £74mbut Osimhen is a player who would add much-needed space to United's attack and has recently been described by journalist Colin Millar on X as a 'winner.'

Osimhen could be an upgrade in future drafts

Osimhen had a good start to his career at Galatasaray, scoring seven and creating three goals in just nine games for Turkish clothing so far this season.

However, it was during his time at Napoli that the attacker established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe, and found himself in the best possible shape. 76 goals in just 133 games for the club and chase the Napoli side to the Serie A title in 2023.

While many jealous eyes at Old Trafford have been on Erling Haaland in recent years, Osimhen could be United's version of the Norwegian powerhouse. Osimhen's goalscoring record speaks for itself, but his powerful form and ability to carry the ball make defenders a threat - something the Premier League's top players possess.

Therefore, if Man United were able to secure the services of Osimhen, it would provide a huge boost to the current attacking force of Rashford, Hojlund and Zirkzee.

Not only does Osimhen score more goals than United have ever done, but he also creates more and averages more 1.37 goals and assists per 90 minutes. The Nigerian has more tries than Rashford, Zirkzee and Hojlund 6.06 shots per game and 2.34 of those at risk.

Osimhen keeps the Red Devils going, after making 14 mistakes, the Galatasaray man has proven to be a target that teams can build on, something United have sorely missed in recent years. the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Whether a deal can be done remains to be seen, but with Rashford looking cold and Zirkzee and Hojlund not firing on all cylinders, Osimhen looks like the perfect solution for United to continue their climb in the competition.
