Manchester United sent scouts to watch Victor Osimhen in action for Galatasaray on Monday night as they intensify their pursuit of the Nigeria international.

Victor Osimhen told Manchester United in January that he would be open to joining them in the summer, according to Turkish media. The Nigerian superstar ended his two-game scoring drought for Galatasaray with a crucial brace against Rizespor to seal an important 2-1 win on Monday.

Victor Osimhen could be on the move again once his season-long loan at Galatasaray comes to an end with Arsenal and Chelsea among the clubs linked with summer transfer moves

Nigeria players don't tend to make blockbuster January moves, but there was hope that this window would be different, with Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface's futures up in the air, and many others eyeing career revitalisation.
