Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has appealed to his old club to sign Victor Osimhen on loan this January transfer window.
Ferdinand said Osimhen will help Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee as both strikers will learn from the Galatasaray striker.
There have been calls for Man United to bring in a new top striker before the January transfer window shuts down in the next few days.
Hojlund and Zirkzee have not really lived up to expectations at Old Trafford and Ferdinand wants the Red Devils to get Osimhen immediately.
“I have watched Hojlund closely the last two games… it just doesn’t add up,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“I’d be going to get Osimhen now if we can do it from a financial standpoint. Get him on loan now!
“Guarantees you, someone who can get on the end of things, scores goals, experienced, done it at the top level.

“I just feel like because Hojlund was £70m-odd we’re expecting the finished article.
Unfortunately [he is not]. He’s a young striker but normally a striker of that age comes in and learns from someone. He’s got nobody to learn from.
“He’s looking at [Joshua] Zirkzee who’s like him. They both need someone to learn what it takes to be a Manchester United No.9.”
Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Serie A side, Napoli.
