Solskjaer Regrets Manchester United’s Decision to Sell McTominay
Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has voiced his disappointment over the club’s decision to sell Scott McTominay.
United offloaded the Scottish midfielder to Napoli last summer for £25 million but have struggled to replace him. Meanwhile, McTominay has been thriving in Italy, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 27 games. Under Antonio Conte, he has become a key player, helping Napoli climb to second place in Serie A.
Back in England, Manchester United have been facing a tough season under new manager Ruben Amorim. The team sits 14th in the Premier League after 27 games and recently crashed out of the FA Cup following a 4-3 penalty shootout loss to Fulham.
Solskjaer, a club legend and former United boss, shared his thoughts in an interview with The Athletic. While he was pleased to see Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire performing well, he admitted he was unhappy about McTominay’s departure.
“I’m upset that we let him go because he was important last season when he kept scoring crucial goals. His heart and understanding of the club’s culture were valuable,” Solskjaer said.
Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak appears to have reached the end of the road with the club.
According to reports from The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the Swedish forward has made it clear he will not play for Newcastle again, even if the transfer window closes without a move.
While the Magpies are reluctant to let the 25-year-old go, they are keeping an eye on the market as Liverpool show strong interest in securing his signature.
Just days after returning to Turkey, Victor Osimhen has been caught up in an unexpected controversy. The Bulut Mosque in Konya was briefly shown on Google Maps as “Victor Osimhen Mosque,” a change that angered many worshippers.
One local, Zeki Yaylacı, called it disrespectful, saying it was wrong to name a mosque after a non-Muslim and that it insulted both the Muslim community and their places of worship. There is no indication that Osimhen had any involvement in the incident, which appears to have been caused by inaccurate user edits on Google Maps.
Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has shared her thoughts on being nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or Yacine Trophy, which honours the best women’s goalkeeper in the world. The 24-year-old has made history as the first African to earn a spot on the shortlist.
Nnadozie has had a remarkable year for both club and country. She helped her former side Paris FC lift the Coupe de France Féminine in May, making a decisive save in a tense 5-4 penalty shootout win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Since joining Brighton & Hove, she has also been instrumental in Nigeria’s victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament after keeping four clean sheets in six matches.
Speaking in a video shared on the Super Falcons’ X page, Nnadozie said the recognition means a lot to her and her family, adding that it proves her hard work, consistency, and prayers have truly paid off.
