BNXN Names Osimhen and Other Players Manchester United Should Sign This Summer

• Manchester United will be active in the transfer market this summer to improve Ruben Amorim’s squad
• The Red Devils had a dismal season, finishing 15th in the Premier League and losing the Europa League final
• Nigerian musician BNXN has named three players that he believes the club should sign in the new window

Manchester United's struggles have prompted Nigerian musician BNXN to make three recommendations, with the summer transfer window having opened midway through June 2025.

The Red Devils had an underwhelming season, finishing 15th in the Premier League - their worst result in about 40 years - and losing in the UEFA Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur.

Manager Ruben Amorim will oversee his first full season at Old Trafford after taking over from former boss Erik ten Hag in December and guiding the team through a poor spell.

The club's management acknowledged their season was bad and said it should never be repeated, with one of their responses a commitment to signing quality players in the market.

The English giants have already secured the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers after triggering his £62.5 million release clause.

Man United are actively working on other targets, like Brentford’s Cameroonian forward Bryan Mbeumo, who is reportedly keen on the major move, as Sky Sports reported.

BNXN recommends 3 players to Manchester United

Nigerian artist and Manchester United fan BNXN has named three players he would love to see at the club as they make moves to improve their squad ahead of next season.

“Osimhen, that's just me being biased,” he told ESPN Africa. “I think we need a striker, a proper striker, so it would be either Osimhen or Lamine Yamal. I really love to see Yamal in our team or Raphinha.”

The Red Devils were one of the clubs reportedly interested in Osimhen and were ready to trigger his £63 million Napoli release clause in January, but the striker turned down a move.

Premier League clubs appear to have drawn back from signing the Nigerian striker, citing his wage demands and the importance of sticking to profit and sustainability rules.

Barcelona stars Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are untouchable for United, as they are key players and central to manager Hansi Flick’s plans at the Spanish La Liga champions.

Manchester United raising funds from player sales

Manchester United do not have a big transfer budget this summer and would have to sell players to increase the amount at Amorim's disposal to sign new players.

According to Mirror UK, Academy stars Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are the top two who have been transfer-listed for a respective £40mil and £60mil.

Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal reportedly proposed a €100 million deal to the Red Devils for captain Bruno Fernandes, but the Portuguese attacker rejected their offer.

Man Utd CEO fires warning to Amorim

Legit.ng previously reported that Red Devils CEO Omar Berrada warned Reuben Amorim that the club's disastrous EPL season, where they finished 15th, must never happen again.

He warned that there were clear expectations for next season, particularly after missing out on Champions League football, with Man United signings only part of solutions needed.
