🚨 Manchester United Could Move for Victor Osimhen if Joshua Zirkzee Leaves — But Can He Bench Benjamin Šeško?

Manchester United could reportedly consider a move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen if Joshua Zirkzee leaves Old Trafford before the end of the transfer window.

Osimhen has been linked with United on several occasions, and recent reports continue to place him among the club’s potential striker targets. However, a deal would likely depend on several factors, including Zirkzee’s future and the huge financial cost involved.

The bigger question is: Would Osimhen arrive as Benjamin Šeško’s backup—or could he take the No. 9 shirt and become United’s first-choice striker?

Osimhen would bring proven goalscoring ability, explosive pace, aggressive pressing and strong movement inside the penalty area. His experience at the highest level could make him an immediate contender for a starting place.

However, Šeško is younger, highly talented and already established as an important part of United’s attack. The Slovenian striker offers physical presence, technical quality and huge long-term potential. Reports suggest United are considering additional competition for Šeško rather than simply replacing him.

If Osimhen joins, the competition would be intense. He may not automatically bench Šeško, but his experience and goalscoring record could give him a strong chance of becoming the preferred striker—especially if he adapts quickly to the Premier League.

The best outcome for Manchester United could be having both players compete for the No. 9 role. Šeško would bring youth and long-term potential, while Osimhen would provide experience, intensity and a more established goalscoring profile.

🔥 So, can Victor Osimhen bench Benjamin Šeško?

He certainly has the quality to challenge him, but the final decision would depend on form, tactics and who performs better in a Manchester United shirt.
