Man United Loan Emma Watson and Jess Simpson to Everton and Bristol City
Manchester United announced on Tuesday that two of their players, midfielder Emma Watson and defender Jess Simpson, have moved to new clubs on loan for the rest of the season.
Watson, 18, has joined Everton, a fellow club in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
The young Scotland international had her first appearance for Manchester United against Everton in November, marking the beginning of her journey with the Red Devils after joining from Rangers in August 2023.
Simpson, 19, will spend the second half of the season at Bristol City, a club in the Barclays Women’s Championship.
Simpson’s professional journey took off with a senior debut in November during a League Cup victory over Everton.
Former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has shared advice for striker Victor Osimhen as he faces a big decision this summer. Osimhen’s future at Galatasaray remains uncertain after his season-long loan from Napoli ended in May. While Galatasaray want to sign him permanently, the Nigerian star has also attracted interest from clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia.
Speaking to Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor, Okocha, who once played for Galatasaray’s rivals Fenerbahçe, encouraged Osimhen to consider making sacrifices for the right move. “Turkey is an excellent place to live and play football,” Okocha said. “Osimhen had a fantastic season with Galatasaray and seems happy there. Sometimes, you need to make sacrifices when making career decisions. If he’s happy, why not stay?”
Okocha added he wasn’t sure where Osimhen would go next but wished him success wherever he lands. Last season, Osimhen scored an impressive 37 goals across all competitions for Galatasaray, clinching the Golden Boot as the Turkish Super Lig’s top scorer.
Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has turned down a massive offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal this summer. The Portuguese star was reportedly offered around £100 million to make the switch but has made it clear he’s staying in Europe.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who shared the update on Tuesday morning, Fernandes isn’t ready to leave top-tier European football just yet. Despite the eye-watering deal on the table, the United captain has chosen to remain on the continent, focused on competing at the highest level.
Ousmane Dembele has been named UEFA Champions League Player of the Season after playing a key role in PSG’s title-winning run. The French winger delivered standout performances throughout the competition, scoring six times in the group stage and adding crucial goals against Liverpool and Arsenal in the knockout rounds.
Although he didn’t score in the final, Dembele was a constant threat as PSG crushed Inter Milan 5-0 to lift the trophy. His teammate, Desire Doue, also grabbed headlines after being named Young Player of the Season. The teenage sensation scored twice and assisted once in the final, becoming the first teenager to hit a brace in a Champions League final. He had already scored twice earlier in the knockout stages, capping off an unforgettable campaign.
