We focus on two-phase problems with singular and superlinear parametric terms on the right-hand side. Using fibering maps and the Nehari manifold method, we prove that there are at least two non-trivial positive solutions in a geometric setting that is locally similar to Euclidean spaces but has different global properties for all except the smallest values of parameter $$\mu > 0.$$

Singularities may appear at discrete locations in the manifold, which is a challenge for the work due to the unpredictable behavior of the solution. The findings presented here generalize some known results.
