Speaking to Africafoot<\/a> about the prospect, the former Everton defender expressed confidence in the fit between the Super Eagles talisman and the Premier League giants.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s a no-brainer. Victor and Manchester United are a perfect fit, and there\u2019s no doubt he would thrive if they signed him,\u201d Yobo said. \u201cEven though they\u2019re struggling in the transition, Manchester United are still among the top three clubs in the world, and that\u2019s not going to change anytime soon,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The former Marseille defender advised his compatriot to consider working under Manchester United\u2019s new manager, R\u00faben Amorim, whom he regards as one of the best managers at the moment.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf you ask me, I\u2019ll be honest with you; Victor [Osimhen] should take the offer, if it comes. Their project is exciting with a new coach in [Ruben] Amorim, who is one of the best of his generation. If Amorim wants to trust Victor to be one of the leaders of this project in transition, yes, I think he shouldn\u2019t think twice, he should take it.\u201d<\/em> the 44-year-old added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Osimhen, who scored 31 goals last season to help Napoli clinch their first Serie A title<\/a> in over three decades, remains one of the most sought-after forwards in football.<\/p>\n
