Manchester United will need a big summer transfer window after what has been a difficult season so far.

The Red Devils started the campaign with Erik ten Hag, but the Dutchman was shown the door after a terrible start to the season.

Ruben Amorim was brought in, and although some of the things he has done have been promising, United are far away from where they should be.

To solve their issues, Manchester United will need to sign world-class players, and Amorim has identified one who will make a serious difference.

Ruben Amorim’s stance on Victor Osimhen transfer as new price-tag emerges

Victor Osimhen is among the best strikers in the world.

The Nigeria international was a superstar during his time at Napoli, but he was desperate to leave the Italian side last summer.

After Osimhen’s move to Chelsea collapsed, the striker joined Turkish giants Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal.

Once that spell is done, Osimhen is expected to be on the move again, and GiveMeSport have revealed the latest on his situation.

The report reveals that ‘Amorim and members of the Old Trafford hierarchy have pinpointed the Nigeria international as a proven goalscorer who is capable of revolutionising their side’ in attack.

It has further been claimed that Manchester United have started making plans to enter negotiations to sign Osimhen, even though he will cost a fortune in terms of transfer fees and wages.

Mohamed Salah‘s decision over whether to stay or leave Liverpool at the end of his contract could have hinged on his belief in a new head coach in Arne Slot.

With Slot, largely unproven despite his success at Feyenoord, taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer, it could have been a defining point for Liverpool’s key players.

The likes of Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold will have looked to size up the club’s situation after a change in the dugout before making any decision over their futures.

And while none of those three players have committed beyond the end of the season at this stage, Slot has surely made a convincing impact.

Salah’s agent has underlined that with a telling update on X, responding to a post highlighting Liverpool’s position seven points clear at the top of the Premier League by writing: “Excellent at his job.”

Some Liverpool supporters had speculated that the installation of new images of Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk outside Anfield were tied to new contract announcements, but that was never the case.

Photos circulated on social media this week of large images of Salah and Van Dijk, among others, being installed in the panels outside the Kop.

That led many to strangely deduce that Liverpool were set to announce new contracts for the pair, whose deals are set to expire at the end of the season.

One such report even went as far as claiming that “it looks like Liverpool could be preparing to announce new deals for both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk imminently.”

It was always evident that such cosmetic changes would not be related to any contract announcement, and this has now been explained as such.

Instead it comes as part of a wider rollout of new typeface produced exclusively for the club, which includes the wrap-around art outside both Anfield and the St Helen’s Stadium.
