Manchester United Legend Nicky Butt Wants Osimhen At Old Trafford

Manchester United legend Nicky Butt has called on the club’s hierarchy to make a summer move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Butt believes the Galatasaray forward is the kind of powerful, complete number nine United need to lead the line at Old Trafford. Speaking in recent interviews, the former midfielder argued that while current striker Benjamin Sesko has potential, he is not yet ready to carry the team’s attack on his own. He described Osimhen as quick, strong and aggressive, with the ability to run in behind, hold up play and score different types of goals, including headers. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray from Napoli in a record deal last summer, has continued his prolific form in Turkey with 19 goals in 29 appearances this season. Butt said players from the Turkish Super Lig are generally “gettable” in the transfer market […]

Man United Legend Nicky Butt Urges Club To Sign Victor Osimhen

Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt has urged his old club to go all out to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen this summer. Butt believes the Galatasaray forward has the qualities needed to lead the line and take United’s attack to a higher level. Manchester United signed Benjamin Sesko last summer, but Butt is not convinced the young Slovenian can carry the team’s goal scoring burden on his own.

Butt described Osimhen as powerful, quick, strong, and capable of scoring different types of goals. He highlighted the Nigerian’s ability to run in behind, compete in the air, and hold up play as reasons he would fit well in the Premier League. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray from Napoli in […]

Galatasaray chief denies owing Osimhen, teammates salaries

Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has dismissed viral reports claiming that the Turkish club owes Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and other star players unpaid salaries. He described the stories as misleading and damaging, insisting that Galatasaray has met all its financial obligations to the squad in line with their contracts. Ozbek said it would be impossible for top professionals to keep playing if they were not paid for two or three months, adding that suggesting otherwise insults the players’ professionalism. He stressed that the club has not defaulted “on a single lira” in salary payments and that bonuses and incentive clauses are also settled on time. Club executives also pointed to Galatasaray’s recent financial clearance from UEFA as proof that the team is run on a disciplined payment schedule, with player wages typically paid ahead of usual European timelines. Ozbek urged […]
