On Sunday, Manchester United lifted the Carabao Cup as they beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley.
The Red Devils relied on a header from Casemiro and an own goal from Sven Botman (later given to Marcus Rashford) to secure their win, having decided to start with Wout Weghorst through the middle.
The Dutchman, who arrived at Manchester United on loan from Burnley, is a stop gap up top following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, and while he could still be kept as a plan B next season, he will not be the starting number nine next season.
It’s clear Erik ten Hag will want someone with a bit more pace, and that’s why the name Victor Osimhen keeps coming back in transfer rumours.
With both Manchester United and Chelsea needing a striker, the Italians could be faced with a tough decision to make if enough money is placed on the table, which is a situation Ciro Venerato half expects.
The journalist, speaking to the media, relayed by Napoli Piu, commented on the idea that Dusan Vlahovic could replace Osimhen next season.
He said: “In these hours, there is a lot of talk about the possibility that Vlahovic will replace Osimhen at the end of the season, but I can say that the rumours have been absolutely denied. I confirm, however, that Chelsea and Manchester United like the Nigerian, but also beware of PSG, as Galtier already had the player during his time at Lille.”
