Godwin Okpara, a former defender for Paris Saint-Germain, has publicly encouraged Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen to make a summer switch to Manchester United. The Nigerian international, who has previously plied his trade in Belgium, France, and Italy, is now being tipped for a new challenge in the Premier League.
In an interview with Soccernet, Okpara expressed his belief that Old Trafford represents the ideal destination for Osimhen. He stated that the Super Eagles forward would thrive in Manchester United’s environment and enjoy his football there. “For me, I would prefer him to go to Manchester United,” Okpara said. “He has already played in Belgium, France and Italy. Now, what comes next? If he can’t go to Spain, why not England? Manchester United is the best place for him because he will enjoy his football there.”
It is worth noting that the last Nigerian player to feature for Manchester United was Odion Ighalo, who had a stint at the club during the 2019-2020 season.
