Louis Saha has named two players should sign – including an star who played under .
As we enter the final part of the season, attention is starting to turn to the summer transfer window when Ten Hag will want to improve his squad so that they may challenge for the Premier League title.
Top of his wishlist will be a new striker, with only on loan until the end of the campaign, while Anthony Martial is too injury prone to be relied upon.
Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Tottenham’s Harry Kane are the two No.9s most linked with Old Trafford and Saha believes the former would be ideal for the Red Devils, telling : ‘Victor Osimhen can definitely adapt to the Premier League.
‘He has expressed his desire to come to the Premier League and is also a United fan. He has the quality physically and mentally, and is a good guy with good values.
‘He still has a long way to be recognised and I feel Manchester United will be the perfect club for him to join. Napoli are good, but not on the level of Manchester United and I think that it will be the logical move.’
So far this season, Osimhen has scored 25 goals in 29 games to fire Napoli 19 points clear at the top of Serie A and also make them one of the favourites to win the Champions League.
But while the 24-year-old’s exploits are now common knowledge, Saha has also championed a lesser-known star in the form of Mohamed Kudus, who previously worked with Ten Hag at Ajax.
The 22-year-old winger is enjoying a breakthrough season, with 18 goals and five assists across all competitions, and also starred at the 2022 World Cup, scoring a brace for Ghana against South Korea.
‘Mohammad Kudus is the kind of player Manchester United need,’ former United forward Saha added.
‘When you have the ability to break lines and be aggressive in the midfield – which can be utilised easily show that he is a very talented player. He hasn’t made many mistakes and when you have these targets it makes perfect sense.
‘I would like to see players like Osimhen and Kudus arrive at Old Trafford, but it is also important to think about their mindset and values and I believe they align.’
United do already have a great selection wide players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Facundo Pellistri, though there is speculation surrounding the long and short term futures of the latter two.
In the meantime, when the international break is over United will have a busy run in as they look to win both the FA Cup and Europa League and secure their place in the top four, which begins with a trip to Newcastle.
