'Man United are no longer in a position to attract the level of players that they want': Dwight Yorke
Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has called on his former club to make a decisive move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, suggesting the Nigerian forward could be the key to reviving the Red Devils' fortunes.
"Manchester United signing Victor Osimhen this summer would be better late than never. I don’t know what has stopped the club signing these big names in recent windows.
"You can see why they have signed young players for their potential like Rasmus Hojlund, but United need more than that. They have made too many mistakes and are paying for it.
"Can Osimhen handle the pressure? Well, it can't get any worse. He's been around for a while now, he's a senior player and he's scored wherever he's been.
"The expectation of coming to Manchester United now, it's something that will give him another challenge to achieve. I think signing Osimhen is a no brainer.
"I think it's a no-brainer because United are in a hole and they need to get out of it," Yorke stated.
Yorke also emphasized the importance of United winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League if they are to have any chance of attracting elite talent this summer.
"Getting into the Champions League has a bigger picture for Manchester United, it’s about being able to attract players and keeping the name of the club among the best teams in Europe.
"Whether they could compete in the tournament is another question, but even a sixth place United can’t attract names like they used to, they need to be in the Champions League.
"The legacy of the club hasn’t changed, but the club are no longer in a position to attract the level of players that they want," Dwight Yorke said.
