Manchester United’s Europa League journey is on a knife’s edge after a dramatic 2-2 draw against Lyon, with the return leg at Old Trafford now carrying massive importance.
Kobbie Mainoo’s comeback to training provided a lift to Ruben Amorim’s squad, while questions continue to swirl around Andre Onana’s recent errors in goal.
With injuries to key players like Matthijs de Ligt and Ayden Heaven, Amorim’s options are stretched thin as United push for silverware to salvage a poor domestic campaign.
Off the pitch, United’s summer transfer window is already shaping up to be one of high drama, with major targets and strategic decisions looming.
Among them, Victor Osimhen remains firmly on United’s radar — a player admired for his physicality, goalscoring instincts, and suitability for the Premier League.
But in a surprising twist, Turkish champions Galatasaray have entered the race for Victor Osimhen with a futuristic gameplan that could disrupt United’s pursuit.
The Istanbul giants have launched talks with Napoli and are determined to make Osimhen’s loan deal permanent by activating their €66 million purchase option.
What sets their approach apart is how they plan to fund the record-breaking move.

According to reports from Turkish outlet A Spor, Galatasaray are developing an AI-powered mobile app to raise funds.
The app will feature premium fan memberships priced at 2,500 Turkish Lira (£50) , offering behind-the-scenes access, training visits, and exclusive events.
The club aims to attract 500 000 premium members in the first rollout, generating enough income to cover the initial instalment of Osimhen’s transfer fee.
Talks with Napoli are already underway, and Galatasaray are urging the Italian side to give serious consideration to their bid.
The Nigerian striker, who has scored 28 goals in 32 appearances this season, is reportedly demanding €15 million per year should the deal become permanent.
Manchester United, Chelsea, and Juventus remain keen, but Galatasaray’s tech-powered gamble could tilt the scales.
If successful, it would mark one of the most unorthodox transfer coups in recent football history — and United may need to rethink their strategy fast.
