Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has made Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen his number one target going into the summer as Chelsea have pulled out of the race to sign him, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen's future has continued to gather attention as the Super Eagles star is expected to change clubs in the summer. The 26-year-old striker was expected to make a big move last summer after four brilliant years at Napoli. But he did not get it, as no club put in a good offer for him.

Since Osimhen had fallen out with the club's management, coach Antonio Conte removed him from his plans for the season, forcing him to join Galatasaray on loan.
Despite the change in environment, Osimhen has had a brilliant campaign that has seen him contribute 30 goals and seven assists in 35 appearances for the reigning Turkish champions. He is also on the brink of winning the Turkish Cup and the Super Lig title.
In previous months, Chelsea seemed like the favourites to get Osimhen. But since Manchester United appointed Amorim last year, Old Trafford has appeared to be the more likely destination than Stamford Bridge.
In a new report by Transfer News Live, Manchester United are ready to go all out for Osimhen in the summer transfer window as Chelsea are no longer interested.
What this means for Victor Osimhen
Victor Osimhen idolizes Didier Drogba, and if you connect the dots, he seems to also have a soft spot for Chelsea. Last summer, he could have moved to London, but their offer was not good enough.
Nonetheless, Osimhen is someone who gives his all to anything he commits to. And he would surely play his hear out for Manchester United.
Manchester United do not have the financial muscle they used to have. But they are expected to make some sales in the summer. As such, they should be able to offer him a good deal.
But for sure, if the move works out, Osimhen will be more than happy to play in England and he won't have issues adjusting.
