Ex-Man Utd star sends emotional message to Galatasaray ahead of title win

Former Manchester United star Juan Mata has sent an emotional message to Galatasaray after their win over Trabzonspor to seal the club’s 19th Turkish Cup title.

Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen delivered a masterclass in front of goal on Wednesday night, scoring twice in Galatasaray’s emphatic 3-0 win over Trabzonspor.

The performance not only cemented Osimhen’s place in Galatasaray folklore but also reignited speculation around his future, with Manchester United heavily linked to a summer move for the prolific striker.

As fans celebrated the club’s first Turkish Cup title since 2020, former Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata, who spent a season with Galatasaray before retiring, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate his former teammates.

Posting a trophy emoji along with red and yellow hearts, Mata’s message was widely interpreted as a subtle nod to Osimhen’s impact.
