Manchester United have been long separated from the incredible success they have enjoyed for so many years, no doubt. The wheel has been spun many times and has ended up at the starting axis, a cyclical cycle of promise and surrender.

Latest teams being Gala, Napoli and Lille, it is clear that Osimhen has everything it takes to be a star for Manchester United, with his predatory instinct coupled with strong physicality and a dynamic approach, excellent through his connected play and creative range.
United have an expensive centre-forward Rasmus HoglundBut the Dane is struggling to prove that he has what it takes at the moment and Amorim needs to target the best, lest the Red Devils endure more turmoil in the coming years.
How does Osimhen compare to Rasmus Hoglund
Manchester United did not receive any money for Hoglund. He may only be 21, but the number nine is there He scored 12 goals in 45 Premier League matches since Signing from Atalanta for £72m In July 2023.
He has a big future, this lad, having been described as a striker with a 'monster' personality. By Robin Saleswho coached him in Copenhagen, but he hasn't gotten there yet.
United struggle for cohesion, especially in terms of playmaking and delivery into the focal area. They were created 42 great opportunity Of 20 Premier League appearances this season (9th), that's 2.1 per game.
Last season, United's creative success was actually worse, as they finished 12th, just one point behind Created 60 big chances Across the campaign, that equates to 1.57 per match.
According to SovascorThe Danish talent is averaging 0.7 shots per game in the league this season, and although he is already struggling for service, he is failing to convert the opportunities that come his way, missing out on a glorious opportunity at Anfield, and is therefore being labeled a footballer. foot. Match rating 5/10 by Samuel Luckhurst's Men.
The problem is that Joshua Zirkzee is failing to produce meaningful results as well, limiting United's forward range considerably. All the more reason to launch a move that could potentially determine the future of Osimhen, who has averaged 3.3 shots per game during his career. According to WhoScoredAnd only 21.8 touches per game in the Premier League This year, he scored 13 goals.
Like all the best strikers, he is decisive and lethal. He knows he won't take too many touches from the centre-back. Erling Haaland has been in poor form this season, but he still scored 16 Premier League goals at home. Took 22.5 touches per player.
Hoglund isn't doing enough, and perhaps has too heavy a burden at this early stage of his high-potential career.
With recent reports suggesting that Zirkzee is indeed unhappy at Dream Theater and I would like to return to Italian footballHoglund may receive a suspended sentence. After all, he is only 21 years old and could become a top-class striker.
However, Manchester United need immediate results if they are to make real progress over the coming seasons, and a striker like Osimhen could be ideal.
