Man Utd<\/a>\u00a0may have progressed to the semi-finals of the Europa League, but there can be no hiding from the fact that they have been a huge disappointment this season. The Red Devils are 14th in the Premier League table right now and look destined to end the campaign in the bottom half of the standings.<\/p>\n One of the reasons why Man Utd have struggled to win matches in the Premier League is because of a lack of goals.

That team needs to be rebuilt from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n The 26-year-old, who was described as \u201ca complete player\u201d by former Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola on\u00a0Sky Sports News\u00a0in February 2023, is on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli until the end of the season.<\/p>\n Osimhen has scored 31 goals and given eight assists in 36 appearances for Galatasaray this season, as Okan Buruk\u2019s side sit five points at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table.<\/p>\n The Italian media have reported that\u00a0Man Utd are ready to trigger the release clause of \u20ac75million (\u00a364m, $85.5m) in Osimhen\u2019s contract at Napoli<\/a>\u00a0and have already offered him an annual salary of \u00a313million.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34 <\/strong> READ NEXT<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n Man Utd tipped to \u2018come knocking\u2019 for \u00a343m \u2018monster\u2019 centre-back who could leave<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Cole Palmer transfer decision made amid Man Utd and Liverpool interest<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Victor Osimhen tipped to join Chelsea<\/strong><\/p>\n Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world, and there is no doubt that he will have a long list of suitors should Man Utd not be an option come the summer.<\/p>\n Former Chelsea and Nigeria international midfielder Mikel has claimed that the striker could end up at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n Chelsea are reported to have ruled out a move for Osimhen<\/a>, who, TEAMtalk understands, is an option for clubs in the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n However, Mikel is adamant that the Nigerian striker wants to play for Chelsea.<\/p>\n Mikel said on\u00a0beIN Sports: \u201cHe wants to play for Chelsea. I hope he\u2019ll be playing his football next season somewhere in the Premier League. I hope he comes.<\/p>\n \u201cI know where we stopped with the contract. I know where we are. It\u2019s an easy fix because we\u2019ve done all the hard work last summer.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just easy to pick it up and ask if the deal is okay. I don\u2019t specifically know where he\u2019ll be playing next season, but we\u2019ll wait and see.<\/p>\n \u201cIf the Chelsea deal doesn\u2019t happen, Manchester United could well be in the frame, or Arsenal.
