Speaking to Footy-Africa, Onazi insisted that the former Napoli man is an elite striker and a player any top club would be eager to sign.
“Well, for me, I don’t think that’s an excuse for them not to sign Victor,” said Onazi.
“If they know the importance and what he could be able to bring to the table for Manchester United, that shouldn’t be an excuse because there are other players who go to the African Nations Cup in Manchester United and other clubs too as well, that are very important like Mo Salah in Liverpool.”
