Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, BNXN, has voiced his desire to see top Nigerian talent Victor Osimhen don the iconic red jersey of Manchester United next season.
In a recent chat with ESPN UK, the award-winning singer who has never hidden his loyalty to the Red Devils called on the club to prioritize signing a reliable forward ahead of the new Premier League campaign. His top choice? Napoli’s prolific hitman, Victor Osimhen.
“Is there’s one player I think Manchester United should sign now, it’s Osimhen,” BNXN stated, making a strong case for the Super Eagles striker. “I think we need a striker. A proper striker, I can’t lie.”
Osimhen, who has consistently been linked with a Premier League move, has seen his stock rise significantly over the past two seasons with standout performances in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League.
While emphasizing the need for a frontman, BNXN also hinted at other players who could help reignite the Red Devils’ attack. “So, it would be either between Osimhen or Lamine Yamal. I would really love to see Yamal or Raphiha in our team,” he added.
His suggestions reflect a deep frustration shared by many United fans who believe the club is lacking firepower in the final third. The team has struggled with goal conversion and creativity, raising concerns among fans and pundits alike.
BNXN’s comments have since sparked excitement among fans, with many rallying behind his Osimhen call. Whether the club will take heed of the singer’s wishlist remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: BNXN wants to see Manchester United back to its winning ways with some new firepower leading the charge.
