“We Made a Lot of Mistakes” – Amorim Says After 4–1 Loss to Newcastle
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim admitted his team fell short after a disappointing 4–1 loss to Newcastle on Sunday.
The Red Devils endured their 14th Premier League defeat of the season at St James’ Park, struggling to match the energy and precision of the home side.
Sandro Tonali got Newcastle off to a strong start, but Garnacho brought United back into it with an equalizer. That hope didn’t last, though, as Harvey Barnes netted twice and Bruno Guimarães added another to put the game out of reach.
After the match, Amorim didn’t sugarcoat the performance. “We made too many mistakes,” he said. “Newcastle were better, especially with second balls. It’s not just one thing. It’s hard enough facing a strong side like this, but when we help them with our own errors, it gets even worse.”
Despite the setback, Amorim urged his team to shift focus. “We know we’re capable of doing better. What happened today can’t happen again on Thursday.”
Turkish transfer expert Süleyman Rodop has confirmed that Galatasaray will no longer pursue Victor Osimhen following Napoli’s tough demands. Napoli reportedly asked for €40 million upfront and another €35 million by 2026, along with a sell-on clause, after Galatasaray submitted their fourth offer for the Nigerian striker.
Speaking to Turkish outlet habersarikirmizi, Rodop stated that the Turkish club won’t go beyond their final bid. He explained that although Osimhen’s current deal runs out next year, Napoli still hold the option to extend it by another season. Rodop praised Osimhen for his professionalism, saying he handled the situation admirably.
However, Galatasaray have decided to walk away, believing Napoli are dragging the deal unnecessarily. “The latest offer stands, and it won’t change,” Rodop said. “Napoli’s president is just playing games now.” Osimhen is said to be eager to return to Galatasaray permanently, after impressing on loan last season.
New Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus has made it clear that Cristiano Ronaldo played a major role in his decision to join the club. During his first remarks after taking the job, Jesus admitted that without Ronaldo, he likely wouldn’t have accepted the offer.
The Portuguese coach, who takes over from Stefano Pioli following a disappointing season, said he’s eager to help both the club and its captain win silverware. “Cristiano hasn’t won much here yet,” Jesus said. “I want to help change that. We speak the same language, so working together will be smooth.”
Napoli seem to be raising the bar as talks continue over Victor Osimhen’s potential move this summer. The Nigerian striker is eager to make a permanent switch to Galatasaray after a loan spell in Istanbul, but the Turkish club has already had multiple bids turned down.
On Monday, another offer was reportedly rejected, with Napoli now demanding €40 million upfront, another €35 million by 2026, and a sell-on clause. Galatasaray isn’t backing down just yet, but they’re holding firm on their terms, they want to complete the deal for €35 million by 2027 and are not open to including a sell-on clause.
