How Rashford and Osimhen compare with Man Utd looks at stunning transfer | All Football

MARCUS RASHFORD and Victor Osimhen could be part of a sensational swap this month.

The Manchester United star, 27, recently admitted he is ready for a “new challenge” away from Old Trafford.

Rashford has received plenty of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, who would be willing to pay him as much as £675,000 a week.

But the forward has snubbed a switch from the Middle East as he is keen to impress England’s new boss, Thomas Tuchel – who could open the door to Napoli.

Their boss Antonio Conte is very fond of Rashford, and could look to reunite him with his former United teammates Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku.

Before that Osimhen, 26, was a star for Napoli.

But after moves to Saudi Arabia and Chelsea fell through in the summer, the Nigerian was frozen out by Conte and banned out on loan to Galatasaray.

United could land Osimhen this month, however, with the striker having a £62 million release clause.

Meanwhile, the flogging of Rashford to Napoli would give the Red Devils a huge PSR boost, while giving Amorim the ability to add extra firepower in Osimhen.

Since Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in 2020, he has scored far more goals than Rashford.

While the United man has mainly been playing off the wing, Osimhen has been the main man for Napoli, and now Galatasaray, up front.

He scored 76 goals in 133 games for the Serie A side, helping them end their 33-year title drought in 2023.

Osimhen has also added another 12 goals for Galatasaray, with his overall record since 2020 standing at 88 shots in 148 games.

Meanwhile, Rashford has scored 71 times in 214 games during the same period, having scored four this season.

Naturally, after playing out wide, Rashford has many more assists than Osimhen.

Since his Napoli switch Osimhen has laid on a total of 16 assists, compared to Rashford’s 31.

The Man Utd man has also created 197 chances, more than Osimhen’s tally of 136, although the Nigerian has played far fewer games.

Rashford edges Osimhen in big chances created with 36 compared to 30 – not a huge advantage considering the latter’s 66 fewer appearances.

The 60-cap England international has taken 462 shots with 206 on target, with a conversion rate of 15.37 per cent.

Meanwhile, Osimhen had a conversion rate of 17.43 per cent at Napoli, with 176 shots on target from 436 attempts.

This season at Galatasaray his numbers are slightly down, having hit the target 33 times out of 76 shots, with an overall conversion rate of 15.79 percent.

Both stars have outperformed their xGs – with Rashford’s 71 goals coming from an xG of 59.37.

Meanwhile, Osimhen’s 88 goals have been achieved from an xG of 81.45.
