"The best decision for everyone" – Victor Osimhen comments on future amid Chelsea and Manchester United interest

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who is on loan at Turkish side Galatasaray, has opened up on his future amid interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

After Galatasaray's 2-0 Super Lig victory against Samsunspor earlier this Friday, Osimhen was asked to comment on his plans after the expiration of his loan deal. He replied to NTV (h/t PSGTalk):

"There are always rumors about me, but I live in the moment. Right now, I'm enjoying all of this. The fans have supported me incredibly, not just me, but also my teammates and my family. The best decision for everyone will be made. But Galatasaray will always have a place in my heart."

Osimhen, who has reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is in good form this campaign. The 26-year-old has registered 29 goals and six assists in just 33 overall matches for Galatasaray this term. 

Should Osimhen move to either Chelsea or the Red Devils, he would pop up as a key starter for both clubs. Nicolas Jackson and Rasmus Hojlund would both suffer a fall in their respective club's pecking order.

Ex-Chelsea star predicts Manchester United loss

In his column for the BBC, ex-Chelsea striker Chris Sutton predicted a 2-0 Premier League loss for Manchester United in their clash at Newcastle United on Sunday (April 13). He wrote:

"It does feel like Ruben Amorim is steadying the ship at Manchester United but there is nothing much for them to get excited about in the Premier League and it could be a pretty dull end to their domestic campaign, especially because they are finding it difficult to score goals."

Sutton, who represented Chelsea 39 times as a player, continued:

"Like Tottenham Hotspur, United's season is hanging on the Europa League now, but their Premier League results still matter for Amorim because he needs to put some credit into the bank going into next season. I just can't see past a Newcastle win here, though. [The Magpies] are one of the teams in this race for the Champions League places and are in great form."

Following Saturday's matches, Manchester United are 13th in the Premier League standings with 38 points from 31 outings. Newcastle, on the other hand, are in seventh place with 53 points from 30 games, only one point off fifth-placed Aston Villa.

The Red Devils have recorded just two wins, two draws, and four defeats in their last eight meetings across all competitions against the Magpies.
