🇳🇬 ✅️ Victor Osimhen: The Striker United Have Been Crying For
Manchester United have officially agreed a deal to bring Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford. According to top-tier sources, the Nigerian international will join the Red Devils in a deal worth around £97 million, with both clubs and the player having now signed the necessary documents.
Osimhen, 26, has been one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards after two exceptional seasons with Napoli, where he scored 26 goals in the Serie A title-winning campaign of 2022/23 and followed it up with 21 goals in 2023/24 despite injuries and managerial chaos at the club.
He becomes the marquee signing of Manchester United’s summer and is expected to lead the line in Amorim’s attack-heavy system. Osimhen’s power, aerial dominance, pace, and predatory finishing make him a perfect fit in the Premier League. It also spells a serious warning to rivals: United mean business.
Osimhen has reportedly signed a five-year contract worth £250,000 a week and is set to wear the No. 9 jersey.

🔁 Mason Greenwood Set for United Return
In another stunning twist, Mason Greenwood has agreed personal terms for a return to Manchester United after a year-long loan at Getafe. The 22-year-old forward was the subject of controversy and internal debate, but it appears the club — under the new INEOS sporting structure — has cleared his return after months of legal and PR review.
Greenwood scored 10 goals and registered 6 assists in La Liga last season and proved he still has the technical quality and match intelligence to perform at the highest level. Rúben Amorim reportedly sees Greenwood as a versatile option who can operate as a winger, forward, or false nine — giving him tactical flexibility across United’s front line.
Sources confirm Greenwood will rejoin pre-season training this month, with an official statement expected once internal protocols are completed.

🧹 Seven Players Agreed to Leave United
As the new era kicks in at United, the club is also cleaning house. Seven players have agreed exits, with some already on the move and others finalising details. Amorim and the INEOS team are ruthlessly reshaping the squad and clearing space for younger, tactically compatible talent.
Here’s the list of confirmed departures:
1. Anthony Martial – Leaving as a free agent after contract expiration. Destination: Turkey or Saudi Arabia.
2. Raphaël Varane – Contract not renewed; will join a Champions League side in France or Saudi Arabia.
3. Donny van de Beek – Set to sign for Girona in La Liga. Permanent deal.
4. Christian Eriksen – Close to moving to Ajax or a Bundesliga side. Mutual termination of contract expected.
5. Brandon Williams – Joining a newly promoted Premier League side for regular minutes.
6. Eric Bailly – Exit agreed; Saudi deal in progress.
7. Jadon Sancho – Final talks ongoing with Juventus. United prepared to accept loan with obligation to buy.
These exits will free up significant wages and create squad space for Amorim to fully implement his pressing, energetic system with a younger, more dynamic core.

🟡 Bryan Mbeumo Transfer to be Announced Soon
Though United initially missed Brentford’s self-imposed negotiation deadline earlier this summer, the deal for Bryan Mbeumo is now back on track and 95% complete, according to multiple sources close to the club.
The 25-year-old winger has agreed personal terms with United and has already undergone part of his medical ahead of a £45 million switch. Brentford, satisfied with United’s renewed offer structure and Mbeumo’s professionalism, gave the green light earlier this week.
Mbeumo is expected to sign a four-year deal with an option for a fifth, and his official unveiling is anticipated within days. He will provide high-intensity pressing, technical output, and much-needed depth on the right wing, a position United have struggled to fill consistently in recent years.

🔍 What Does This Mean for Amorim’s Tactics?
Amorim is known for his 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formation, which relies on:
A strong focal striker (Osimhen)
Wide forwards who press and create (Mbeumo, Greenwood, Garnacho)
Ball-playing centre-backs
Central midfielders with legs and control (Mainoo, João Neves – expected to sign)
Wing-backs who offer both width and cover
These transfers clearly reflect that tactical approach. Osimhen gives United a true striker, something they lacked last season. Mbeumo and Greenwood bring creativity and intensity. The departure of older or underperforming players frees up space for players who fit Amorim’s modern, vertical style.
With other targets like João Neves, Leny Yoro, and a right-back reportedly on United’s radar, the club are building a tactically balanced and physically robust side for the 2025/26 campaign.

🔚 Final Thoughts: The Red Rebuild Is Real
Manchester United are moving differently — and finally, in the right direction. The signings of Victor Osimhen, Mason Greenwood’s return, and the imminent arrival of Bryan Mbeumo, coupled with a bold and necessary squad clear-out, mark a new era at Old Trafford.
With Amorim steering the tactical ship and INEOS bringing structure to football operations, the Red Devils are no longer a club of chaos and crisis. They are, for the first time in years, a club with a plan — and that plan is now in motion.
Manchester United are back. And they’re building to win.
