Victor Osimhen joins Man United on a 4yr deal, agreement reached last night as Medical done this morning,Player will wear Departing Hujlund Jersey number, Amorim Second signing completed

Manchester United have officially announced one of the most anticipated transfers of the summer, confirming the signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli on a four-year deal. The agreement was reached late last night, with the club moving swiftly to finalise the details and complete the medical this morning at Carrington.

Official Announcement From the Club

In a press conference held earlier today, Manchester United’s sporting director confirmed the completion of the deal:
“We’re delighted to welcome Victor Osimhen to Manchester United. He’s a proven goalscorer with electric pace, physical presence, and the hunger to succeed at the highest level. The agreement was finalised last night, the player underwent a successful medical this morning, and we’re excited to have him join our squad ahead of the new season.”

Osimhen to Wear Departing Højlund’s Jersey Number

One of the standout confirmations from the briefing was that Osimhen will inherit the jersey number previously worn by Rasmus Højlund, who is set to leave the club this summer following an underwhelming season. The number switch marks a fresh start for United’s attack, with Osimhen now tasked with becoming the new focal point of the Red Devils’ frontline.

Rúben Amorim’s Second Signing Secured

This deal also represents Rúben Amorim’s second signing since taking over as Manchester United manager earlier in the window. The Portuguese coach expressed his excitement about working with Osimhen, stating:
“Victor was one of our top targets when I arrived. His work ethic, pace, and finishing ability make him a perfect fit for the style of football we want to play here. He’ll bring a new dimension to our attack.”

Medical Completed, Unveiling Soon

Osimhen arrived in Manchester late last night and completed his medical early this morning without complications. The club’s media department is now preparing for his official unveiling, with a presentation expected at Old Trafford in front of supporters and media outlets later today.

What This Means for United

This signing is a major statement from Manchester United, showing clear intent to challenge for top honours in the upcoming campaign. Osimhen, who scored consistently in Serie A and Europe, arrives at the club with high expectations as one of the most dangerous strikers in world football.

His signing addresses a critical area in United’s squad, and combined with other planned arrivals under Amorim’s leadership, signals the start of a new era for the club.

Final Word

Manchester United fans can now celebrate the arrival of a striker they’ve long admired from afar. Victor Osimhen is officially a Red Devil — with his jersey number secured and his debut expected in United’s upcoming pre-season fixtures.
