Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has urged the Premier League giants to complete a move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as the club intensifies its summer rebuild.
Evra’s comments come after reports that United are close to finalising a deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson ahead of the new season.

The former France international believes Osimhen would significantly improve Manchester United’s attack.
According to Evra, elite clubs competing across multiple tournaments require more attacking depth and reliable goal scorers.
He stressed that Osimhen possesses the qualities needed to make a major impact at Old Trafford.
