Man Utd 'legend' makes surprise remark to Osimhen

Manchester United "legend" Gary Neville has some advice for Victor Osimhen.

"Neville has urged Osimhen to choose Arsenal over Manchester United," British outlet Talk Sport reported on Monday (Aug. 28).

Osimhen was Napoli's star striker last season, leading the club to its first Serie A title in 33 years. As a key part of the team, he was heavily linked with a number of 'big clubs' after the season, including Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and appeared to be on his way out.

Against all expectations, Osimhen stayed at Napoli. However, in an unexpected turn of events, he fell out with the club. Napoli posted a racist video of Osimhen on their official social media accounts, which enraged the player and led to reports that he was so disappointed in the club that he would leave.

At the same time, a specific club was mentioned. According to Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport, "Crisis-hit Chelsea are keen on signing Osimhen. Al-Hilal, who tried to sign Osimhen last summer, are expected to make a new offer once again."

Napoli also seemed to be thinking about selling Osimhen to some extent. "Napoli are already looking for a replacement in case Osimhen leaves," according to British outlet 90min. Leverkusen's Victor Boniface is a possible replacement."

Transfer rumors abound for Osimhen. Contrary to reports in the media, Osimhen stayed with Napoli by signing a new contract. His contract runs until 2026 and, according to European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, is the highest in the club's history.

However, the transfer rumors for Osimhen have not stopped. This is because the latest deal was only a one-year extension to his existing contract until 2025. For this reason, the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, and Saudi Arabian clubs, including the aforementioned Chelsea, are still drooling over him.

It is widely expected that he will leave the club in the near future. Man Utd 'legend' Neville has some advice for him. According to the media, Neville said on his 카지노사이트 podcast 'The Resr Is Football': "I think he's going to go to Arsenal now. To be honest, they're making a lot of money these days, so he can choose where he wants to go regardless of the money. Arsenal are probably in a position to win the title if they strengthen the striker position," he said.

"Chelsea need to be competitive again. Man United need a striker to improve on their current form, but they are still a long way off. If it were me, I would want to go somewhere where I could win the title."
