Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen expressed his desire to leave a lasting memory for Nigeria in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast. Osimhen has been a standout performer in the tournament, contributing to Jose Peseiro’s team reaching the quarter-finals.

During the last-16 encounter against Cameroon, the Napoli attacker posed a threat to the Cameroonian defense and played a role in setting up Ademola Lookman for Nigeria’s first goal. Despite scoring only one goal so far in the AFCON, against Equatorial Guinea, Osimhen is determined to make a significant impact.

In his words, as quoted by The Guardian UK reporter Osasu Obayiuwana, Osimhen stated, “I want to win something with this great squad. I want to give Nigeria something that they will remember. I’m giving everything to come home with the [AFCON] trophy.”

Osimhen aims to lead Nigeria to victory in the quarter-finals against Angola.

High-ranking officials at Manchester United are expressing apprehension over the possibility of Thomas Tuchel encountering conflicts with the club’s leadership if he is appointed to replace Erik ten Hag.

Tuchel is set to depart from Bayern Munich at the conclusion of this season, a decision that was announced as early as February. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, along with his INEOS associates, are reportedly deliberating on Ten Hag’s future and considering potential replacements.

Among the candidates being discussed, Tuchel, who has previously managed Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as a prominent name.

However, as per reports from The Times, there are reservations regarding Tuchel’s track record of disagreements with higher-ups at his previous clubs. His tenure at Mainz ended in 2014 amid disputes with directors over transfer finances, while he was dismissed from Borussia Dortmund three years later due to a breakdown in trust between himself and the club’s board.
