Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has expressed confidence that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen will join the Red Devils, countering comments made by Ghanaian football legend Asamoah Gyan. Ferdinand said he is 100% certain the Napoli forward will make the move to Old Trafford.

Asamoah Gyan had previously suggested that a transfer might not happen, sparking debate among fans and analysts. Ferdinand, however, emphasized that the deal is very likely and believes Osimhen’s talent and consistency make him a perfect fit for Manchester United.

The former England international highlighted Osimhen’s goal-scoring prowess and ability to adapt to top leagues, insisting that the forward’s style aligns perfectly with Manchester United’s attacking philosophy. Ferdinand further noted that United’s management and coaching staff are keen to secure the striker’s signature.

Football fans and pundits continue to speculate about the timing of the transfer, with expectations high for a potential announcement before the start of the next Premier League season. If the deal goes through, Osimhen would become one of the most significant Nigerian exports to the Premier League in recent years.
