Nicky Butt Backs Osimhen as Ideal No.9 for Manchester United

Former England defender Nicky Butt believes Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has the qualities to spearhead Manchester United’s attack. He highlighted Osimhen’s movement, work rate and aerial prowess as key strengths. Butt said current forward Benjamin Sesko shows promise but lacks the experience to carry United’s frontline alone, especially in Champions League fixtures. He told a UK newspaper that the Red Devils need a proven No.9 to deliver consistently.

Do you think Osimhen's movement and aerial prowess could really transform United's attack the way Butt suggests?

I agree, his pace and aerial threat would give United more options in attack and stretch opposition defence.

I get why Butt's optimistic, but I'm not convinced movement alone will solve United's service and creativity gaps.

It's interesting Butt praises Osimhen, but Sesko's potential with the same work rate might challenge that top striker spot sooner than expected.

I'm not convinced United needs another aerial target man when their midfield still struggles to create enough quality chances for current forwards.

Focusing on extra service drills and crossing routines could help both Osimhen and Sesko maximise those aerial strengths Nicky Butt mentioned.
