Why Victor Osimhen has already rejected the Premier League amid Manchester United interest

As reported by the Manchester Evening News , the 23-year-old, who has netted nine goals in 13 matches this season, is of interest to the Reds as they draw up a long list of targets to become the new face of their forward line next year. The club is desperate to add a new striker to its ranks and Osimhen is one of several options under consideration.
