Osimhen Begins Europa Journey With Galatasaray, Man United Targets Redemption

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhem, will begin the chase for European Club competition glory with Galatasaray today when they host PAOk Thessaloniki of Greece in the Europa League.

Galatasaray remains the only Turkish side to win a European trophy courtesy of their penalty shootout win over Arsenal in the year 2000 UEFA Cup final.

The Turkish giants have had an excellent start to the 2024/25 season, taking 18 maximum points from their opening six matches in the league. Osimhen turned up with an assist during their impressive 3-1 derby win over Fenerbahçe away from home on Saturday.

Meanwhile, another Nigerian talent, Sadiq Umar, may also be in action for Real Sociedad when they travel to Nice as they kick off their own Europa League campaign.

After recovering from injury, Sadiq is yet to make his mark this term after failing to score in his five appearances for the Spanish side but can hope to help Sociedad.

Also, on Wednesday, Manchester United will take on FC Twente at Old Trafford in a Europa League tie, live on DStv ch 205 and GOtv ch 61, at 8 pm. Erik Ten Hag’s men will aim to avoid another miserable Europen campaign.
