Ruben Amorim is ‘dissatisfie’ with his current options at. Manchester United and has urg his bosses to sign long-term Chelsea target Victor Osimhen.

The initial excitement that was provided by Amorim’s arrival at Old Trafford has given way to a familiar feeling of disappointment and frustration among United fans.

Manchester United sealed a morale-boosting victory over local rivals Manchester City last weekend but followed that up with a Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Tottenham and a humbling 3-0 loss at home to Bournemouth.
