In what could signal a major shift at Manchester United, the club has reportedly been offered the opportunity to sign former Fulham midfielder Frank Anguissa in a prospective double swoop that might also see top striker Victor Osimhen make the move to Old Trafford.
United are enduring a dismal Premier League campaign, finding themselves languishing in 15th position under manager Ruben Amorim, who took the reins from Erik ten Hag in November. With just a handful of matches remaining, their home clash at Bournemouth on Sunday offers little consolation in a season set to be recorded as the club’s worst in the Premier League era.
Despite a challenging adaption to Amorim’s tactical vision, the January transfer window saw limited reinforcement, with only Patrick Dorgu joining the ranks. A substantial overhaul is anticipated in the forthcoming summer window as Amorim attempts to rally for a stronger showing next term.
Italian sources, including Area Napoli, suggest Frank Anguissa might return to the English top flight, with United, City, and Chelsea all alerted to his availability. Anguissa, who currently plies his trade with Napoli, might be on the move as club president Aurelio De Laurentiis seeks to capitalise on a renewal option for the midfielder.
The potential double deal could also involve Victor Osimhen, with reports indicating that United’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has engaged in talks following a visit to Manchester, possibly to secure the services of Osimhen from Napoli. The striker’s addition would be a significant boost to United’s forward line, which currently struggles in front of goal, as highlighted by the underwhelming performances of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, who have scored a mere three league goals apiece this season.
Nevertheless, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has issued a caution over any prospective pursuit of Osimhen, noting the financial demands that might prove prohibitive. Osimhen’s wage expectations of €12 million net, along with commissions and a €75 million release clause, currently deter any serious advances from Premier League clubs.
With the Red Devils desperately seeking a renaissance, the possibility of acquiring both Anguissa and Osimhen could mark a pivotal development in Amorim’s rebuilding process, contingent upon United’s readiness to meet the financial conditions laid out.
