🔴 OFFICIAL NOW: Manchester United Finally Complete the Signing of £100M Striker — Agreement Reached Overnight, Medical in Hours – HERE WE GO CONFIRMED

 

 

Manchester United have officially completed one of the most anticipated and high-profile signings of the summer — a £100 million blockbuster deal for a world-class striker who is expected to transform the Red Devils’ attack. After weeks of negotiations, speculation, and mounting pressure to secure a marquee name, United have reached a full agreement overnight, with the player set to undergo a medical within the next few hours.

 

The words “HERE WE GO – CONFIRMED” from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano have sent Manchester United fans into a frenzy, as the club finally secures the elite-level forward they’ve lacked since the prime years of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.

 

Let’s break down the deal, the player, and what this move means for United’s future under Rúben Amorim and INEOS leadership.

✅ The Deal: Victor Osimhen Joins Manchester United

 

The striker in question? Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian international and Napoli superstar who has emerged as one of the most lethal forwards in world football over the past two seasons.

 

Manchester United have activated a £100 million agreement with Napoli, which includes:

 

A base fee of £85 million

 

£15 million in performance-based add-ons

 

A five-year contract for the player, with an option for a sixth

 

Weekly wages reported at around £250,000, with image rights and bonuses structured separately

 

 

Negotiations were said to have intensified over the last 72 hours, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe personally involved in ensuring the deal was pushed over the line despite rival interest from PSG and Chelsea.

 

Osimhen is now set to arrive in Manchester today and undergo his medical at Carrington, with his unveiling expected to take place before the end of the week.

Why United Went All-In for Osimhen

 

For the past 18 months, Osimhen has been at the top of Manchester United’s striker shortlist. Despite the emergence of Rasmus Højlund, United have struggled with attacking consistency, especially in key moments against top opposition.

 

Osimhen, at 26, brings immediate world-class pedigree. His 2022/23 season with Napoli — where he scored 31 goals in all competitions and led them to their first Serie A title in over three decades — firmly established him among the elite.

 

Last season, despite Napoli’s struggles, Osimhen still scored 22 goals in 35 appearances, including four in the Champions League.

 

His key qualities:

 

Explosive pace and physicality

 

Elite positioning and instinctive finishing

 

Dominant aerial presence

 

Ability to stretch defences and press aggressively

 

Proven performance at the highest level

 

 

United see Osimhen not just as a finisher but as a forward who can lead the press, link play, and carry the team through tough matches — exactly the profile Rúben Amorim wants in his No. 9.

What Amorim Said About the Signing

 

Though the club hasn’t formally unveiled Osimhen yet, inside sources confirm manager Rúben Amorim was instrumental in convincing the striker to choose Old Trafford over other suitors.

 

Amorim reportedly had direct conversations with Osimhen over Zoom and at a private meeting in Lisbon weeks ago. There, he laid out the tactical blueprint for how Osimhen would fit in United’s 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 system — with emphasis on transitions, aggressive pressing, and vertical attacking play.

 

One source close to the club stated:

 

> “Victor was sold on the idea that he wouldn’t just be a striker — he’d be the striker, the centrepiece of this project.”

Chelsea & PSG Miss Out

 

Both Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain had been circling Osimhen for months. PSG saw him as a long-term replacement for Kylian Mbappé, while Chelsea viewed him as the answer to their chronic No. 9 problems.

 

However, both clubs struggled to match United’s financial structure and — critically — could not guarantee the same level of first-team leadership role that United offered.

 

Manchester United were also able to assure Osimhen of:

 

Playing as the undisputed first-choice striker

 

The opportunity to lead the attack at one of the biggest clubs in the world

 

Champions League football (secured through league position or coefficient)

Medical & Unveiling

 

Victor Osimhen is expected to land in Manchester by private jet this afternoon, with club representatives meeting him at a secure location before transporting him to the Carrington training ground for his medical.

 

The procedure will be standard — scans, fitness tests, and assessments — and should be concluded by this evening. If all goes to plan, United will prepare a massive unveiling event, with video teasers, jersey reveal, and an exclusive sit-down interview with club media.

 

Osimhen is expected to wear the iconic No. 9 shirt, last held by Anthony Martial.

Fan Reactions: Jubilation and Relief

 

Manchester United fans have reacted with sheer jubilation to the news. After watching rivals strengthen year after year, United supporters finally feel they’ve landed a genuine world-class superstar in his prime.

 

Twitter/X exploded within minutes of Fabrizio Romano’s confirmation:

 

> “WE FINALLY HAVE OUR STRIKER. OSIMHEN IS RED!”

“He chose United over PSG and Chelsea. What a signing. Amorim and INEOS are cooking.”

“Victor Osimhen in a United shirt is going to be terrifying for defenders across Europe.”

 

 

 

Even rival fans admitted this could be a game-changing signing. Pundits like Rio Ferdinand and Jamie Carragher hailed the move as “decisive” and “exactly what United needed.”

United’s New-Look Attack

 

With Osimhen in place, Manchester United now have one of the most dangerous forward lines in Europe:

 

LW: Marcus Rashford / Alejandro Garnacho

 

ST: Victor Osimhen / Rasmus Højlund

 

RW: (Targeted signing: possibly Michael Olise or Nico Williams)

 

 

This setup gives Rúben Amorim tactical flexibility, speed, and firepower, and allows him to rotate between formations without losing attacking bite.

What’s Next?

 

Now that Osimhen is through the door, Manchester United will:

 

Finalize the signing of a right-winger (Olise remains the top target)

 

Pursue one more central midfielder to partner João Neves

 

Offload fringe players including Sancho, Martial, and possibly Antony

 

 

There are also internal talks about extending Bruno Fernandes’ contract and building the attack around Osimhen, Fernandes, and Garnacho.

Final Thoughts

 

Manchester United have just made the signing of the summer.

They’ve landed a world-class striker. They beat Chelsea and PSG. And they did it with conviction, clarity, and confidence.

 

This is the kind of transfer that redefines a club’s direction — not just for one season, but for the next five to seven years.

 

With Victor Osimhen at the helm of the attack, and Rúben Amorim at the tactical wheel, Manchester United are finally looking like a club ready to compete again at the highest level.

 

HERE WE GO — CONFIRMED.

 

 

Welcome to Old Trafford, Victor.
