Manchester United legend Nicky Butt believes his old club should consider signing Osimhen this summer, while also calling Rashford's return this season potentially a £70 million signing.
"I think Rashford should be tried upfront because I think Cunha and Mbeumo might be better on the wing. I truly believe that. Sesko can sometimes come in and make an impact," Butt said when discussing Manchester United's striker situation in an interview with The Midnight Show.
"I think Osimhen is signable. I think a team like Manchester United might be able to sign him. I'm not saying he's a superstar, if he were, it would be a foregone conclusion. You just have to talk about the players who can be signed. It's pointless talking about the big-name stars because you can't sign them." "So I'd secretly keep an eye on that guy. I think from a physical and speed perspective, he's a good fit for the Premier League."
Butt also commented on Rashford's start to the season and explained why he believes the forward has been like a "£70 million signing" for Manchester United this season.
"Are we witnessing the start of a great redemption story for Rashford? You certainly hope so," Butt added.
"For someone who's had a couple of bad years at Manchester United, it would be a really inspiring story. He came through the academy and rose to superstardom, potentially reaching the heights of Mbappé."
"He left and did reasonably well at Villa, then went to Barcelona and performed well, but then things took a sharp turn for the worse. The welcome he's receiving now is truly incredible."
"Think about it, few clubs would give a player such a welcome after he left for whatever reason. He's back now. When he's in form, he's absolutely one of the top players in Europe."
"But the problem with Marcus is that he has to stay focused all the time, because once he lets his guard down – there will be criticism from within the club. That's definitely going to happen."
"People will say, 'Does he really want to be here? Is his heart in it?' But there's no doubt, he's like a £70 million signing."
