In a discussion with Instant Casino, Yorke encouraged his former club to sign Osimhen. He said (via GOAL):

"You can see why they have signed young players for their potential like Rasmus Hojlund, but United need more than that. They have made too many mistakes and are paying for it. Can Osimhen handle the pressure? Well, it can't get any worse."

He added:

"He's been around for a while now, he's a senior player and he's scored wherever he's been. The expectation of coming to Manchester United now, it's something that will give him another challenge to achieve. I think signing Osimhen is a no brainer. I think it's a no-brainer because United are in a hole and they need to get out of it."

Numerous pundits and some Red Devils players like Bruno Fernandes have lamented about United's struggle to convert chances this term. This has led to concerns regarding the recruitment strategy at Old Trafford.

While a drastic attacking modification is anticipated in the summer, Manchester United have been advised to go for the Nigerian. Osimhen has scored loads of goals at multiple clubs.

He has bagged 33 goals and eight assists in 38 outings across competitions for Galatasaray this season. As a striker with a decent amount of explosive power and finishing, his presence could restructure and intensify Manchester United's frontline.
