We 'signed' Victor Osimhen for Manchester United next season and he outscored Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United are reportedly lining up an offer for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window.

The striker is having an impressive season so far, scoring 11 goals and grabbing four assists in 22 games in all competitions for Luciano Spalletti's side. United could dip into the transfer market for a new striker this summer, particularly with Edinson Cavani set to leave at the end of his contract and Ralf Rangnick having concerns around Cristiano Ronaldo.

Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla has reported that United want Osimhen at Old Trafford, with Rangnick having previously stated his interest in strengthening that position. Osimhen joined Napoli for £67.5 million from Lille in 2020, and the Italian side will be looking to make a profit if he was to leave in the summer.

The 23-year-old is playing a vital role in Napoli's title charge this season with seven of his goals coming in Serie A. So, if Osimhen was to make the move to United in the summer, what sort of impact could he have on Rangnick's side?

We simulated the 2022/23 season with Osimhen in the United squad and this is what happened.

To set up this simulation, we used the Football Manager 2022 editor to arrange for Osimhen to join United at the start of the summer transfer window, using FM22 to run the simulation. The striker joined United in the simulation for a whopping £90 million.

We also released Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Cavani, Juan Mata, Tahith Chong and Lee Grant at the beginning of the season with these players all out of contract in the summer of 2022, and Mauricio Pochettino was hired as manager in the simulation for the 2022/23
