Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has urged the Red Devils to sign a certain African star next season.
The Manchester outfit recently brought in Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley to help with their striker situation following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo last year.
The club have been linked with a number of strikers, but Ferdinand feels Napoli star Victor Osimhen would be the perfect option for Erik ten Hag next season.

The Nigeria international has notched up 18 goals and four assists in 19 Serie A appearances for the Naples outfit, who are on course to claim their first league title since 1990.
"I think if I was talking about investing and looking after my money, I'd probably go for Osimhen," Ferdinand told BT Sport.
"There's resale value with his age at 24 years old. It's gonna be a huge outlay.
"I'd take either. I've got be honest with you, if Manchester United add either of those two players you mentioned to their roster they become title contenders. On form he's [Osimhen] flying.
"You've got Rashford and him who are absolutely flying in terms of form. But when you talks about the best players in the world, the Mbappes of this world are still levels above."
