When Mbappe had a fallout with PSG, he was brought back into the team but I don't know how bad Osimhen's case was that Napoli couldn't grant him another chance and reintegrate him back into the team that they had to ship him to Galatasaray. Well, I'm glad he wasn't tempted by the big money offer from Saudi Arabia because he's still at the peak of his career and has so much to offer in europe. He just has to keep his head down, work harder and hopefully, a big club could come knocking after his loan spell at Galatasaray is over.

I think this is mainly because we could be judging from the performance of Tottenham last season and looking at the fact that except for Manchester United and a few others, most of the teams qualified for the Europa aren't coming from a very competitive domestic league. Manchester United is supposed to be the biggest rivals alongside Tottenham but their performance so far hasn't been really encouraging enough to see them in that regards,  when Manchester United started off the season with a victory in their first game, it aroused some beliefs they could get better by the season but not long after they are displaying weakness already and this is in their domestic league so it raises doubts if they are going to perform well in the Europa.
Manchester United? Favorites for the Europa League? You've got to be kidding me. They're a mess. Ten Hag's tactics are all over the place, and the players look lost. Ugarte's a decent signing, but he's not going to fix their fundamental problems

Spurs, on the other hand, have a history of showing up in Europe. Postecoglou's got them playing a new style, and it's not perfect yet. But they've got that intangible quality; they know how to grind out results when it matters. The Europa League is wide open. Any team can get hot and make a run. But if you're looking at the favorites, Spurs are the clear choice. United? They're lucky to be in this competition. They need to focus on getting their own house in order before they start dreaming of European glory

Baris Alper, Ziyech are the two we know from them playing for so long, and they have two players that are bench players as well, I think those will be fine as well. I believe that it is going to be not that much wing focused team though, they will probably play 3-5-2 as many of the pundits say, in which case things could change a lot more.

I felt for Osimhen when I discovered he eventually ended up in Galatasaray on loan and still didn't believe it until I saw him in the shirt. The Turkish club must have been the least of his expectations, no thanks to Napoli. That is what you pay for being the hero of a club that doesn't deserve you, the key player who helped them win the Seria A title after more than 30 years has suddenly become an abomination to the club, I can't just believe it. No matter what happened, there were ways to resolve matters but it was so obvious with the body language of Antonio Conte that he didn't want him anymore and even made sure that he punished him for not staying in the top-choice European club.

For first match of League phase i can considers the match between Roma vs Bilbao is a big match this because the performance of both teams last season were very impressive and just like we know Bilbao has successfully to being an Copa Del Rey champion and they also can finish at 5th place on Laliga and for Roma although they still unable to in form in Serie A i think i still considers Roma as strong contender for the title in this competition

Both teams were never met in the real tournament so this is their first time to met in Europa League and this is home match for Roma and i am sure they will attempts to gets the winning result from this match but i have to says the outcomes of this match is hard to predicted because both teams is equally strong

What happened to Osimhen is indeed quite unfortunate because no matter how Osimhen is a player who has a big role in bringing Napoli to the previous champion, but we can't blame the current Napoli who have actually loaned Osimhen to the Turkish League, previously Osimhen had a strong desire to leave and Napoli agreed to this by trying to offer Osimhen to a big club,  But precisely the expensive price set by Napoli is an obstacle for the team that wants to recruit Osimhen at this time, so it is not entirely Napoli fault in this case, besides that after Osimhen issued a statement of wanting to leave, of course Conte immediately replied to the statement by expecting Lukaku to be in the napoli squad at this time, we know that Conte is a firm coach and will only carry out projects with players who want to stay in the the squad he has coached so far,So it is natural with that is statement that Osimhen no longer has a place in Napoli main squad this season.

I don't also see Tottenham winning this league and i don't put my interest on the odds given by the bookmakers because I think we might see another club winning Europa this season just as we saw Atalanta surprised everyone last season.

With the current performance of Manchester united no one can tell if they will improve in performance in the long run but if it is with what they are playing now, I don't see them in the finals. Tottenham is also unpredictable. I think it is too early to conclude.

It's not easy to bring Galatasaray to the Europa League trophy because there is a lot of competition that might occur. Osimhen just needs to play consistently and avoid injury so that there will be other clubs that will see his performance. The only thing to fear is injury because he is quite susceptible to injury while playing. Furthermore, he must lower his ego in asking for a salary from the club that intends to recruit him because if he maintains it like the previous transfer market he will have difficulty finding a club. One season is not long and if he is unable to take advantage of the existing conditions, he will lose the opportunity to play at a much bigger club.

I think it is very difficult to make a prediction now... English teams play with a very intense and tiring tempo in the Premier League. That's why they can't or don't want to concentrate on these tournaments. I think it is natural that the English teams are the favorites but no English team will win this tournament. I think teams like Porto or Frankfurt, who have the characteristics of a tournament team, are the bigger favorites in this tournament. Of course, I would like to add that I am not ambitious in my prediction because it is too early to make a good prediction...

I still feels that Victor Osimhen's interest is in the English Premier League ,and would do everything within his powers to stay fit, so the need to joining Galatasaray became necessary, if Osimhen wanted to join the Saudi professional league, this a decision he would have been a decision he would had made earlier.

I have the same view as you where I see Manchester United under Erik Ten Hag tending not to improve. At first they showed a hope where at that time they managed to be in a good position and could qualify for the Champions League in Erik Ten Hag's first season handling Manchester United. But in the next season they had to slump and even in the Champions League itself they had to be at the bottom of the standings, as well as in the English League they could not do anything. Many fans are starting to question Erik Ten Hag's capacity, but Manchester United has kept him until now. I think this is the last chance given by Manchester United. Because if they play badly again and Manchester United still keeps him, then I will question the reasons behind it all.
