What Paul Pogba did after Man Utd 2-1 Liverpool shows how he feels towards Jose Mourinho

-

Plenty of stories have been published in recent weeks claiming the relationship between Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba has reached breaking point.

There have even been suggestions that Pogba could leave Old Trafford in the summer if Mourinho is still in charge of Manchester United.

According to the Independent, United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is fully in Mourinho’s camp and is prepared to sell any player - regardless of their value - if they cross the Portuguese coach.

Pogba has been criticised for his ill-disciplined performances in recent weeks by a host of big-name pundits in the media.

The France international has struggled when deployed in a midfield two and hasn’t fared much better in recent weeks when played in his favoured position, on the left-hand side of a midfield three.

Pogba missed out on today’s huge Premier League clash against Liverpool after suffering an injury in training on Friday and so Mourinho opted for a midfield two comprised of Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic.

United, without their most expensive player, ended up producing one of their best performances of the season.

They were 2-0 up at half-time against Jurgen Klopp’s free-scoring side, thanks to a first-half brace from Marcus Rashford, and won the game 2-1 after Eric Bailly’s unfortunate own goal on the 66th minute provided a glimmer of hope for the visitors.

After such an impressive team performance, Pogba might have his work cut out forcing his way back into the starting line-up.

What Pogba did inside the tunnel after the full-time whistle

However, revealing footage has emerged from inside the tunnel which suggests the reports that Pogba and Mourinho are no longer seeing eye-to-eye are spectacularly wide of the mark.

Pogba crept up and interrupted Mourinho’s post-match interview, embracing the Portuguese coach with a handshake.

Shaku Shaku: The origin and enablers of the viral street dance

-

Olamide Olamide took the fourth edition of his annual OLIC concert to the mainland for the first time; it’s obvious that the rap superstar has outgrown Eko Hotel’s overused Convention Center. The timely relocation granted ‘home advantage,’ of sorts, not only to the King of the Streets but also to the underground acts he customarily gives a platform to, as they performed in their natural habitat. In 2017, one of those acts was DJ Real, who’d built a solid reputation for hosting mixtapes containing the biggest street anthems, and for his work on local radio. The diminutive DJ is not to be mistaken for Mr. Real, the artist behind the street anthem “Legbegbe” (featuring Idowest, Obadice and Kelvin Chuks), who also performed at OLIC 4 and has played a significant role in the spread of a new viral dance called “shaku shaku”. Shaku shaku is a dance that’s performed by crossing your arms in front of each other at the wrist, widenin...

What Antonio Conte said to Lionel Messi after Barcelona win, defeated boss reveals conversation

-

Lionel Messi helped book Barcelona’s place in the Champions League quarter-finals against Chelsea, with Antonio Conte seen in discussion with him after the game. The Argentine icon scored twice in a 3-0 win in the second leg at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night, adding to his strike at Stamford Bridge in the first leg as he was a crucial factor in the victory. Chelsea arguably played better football in the return fixture as they got themselves into plenty of threatening positions throughout the game, but couldn’t take their chances while also hitting the woodwork twice. In turn, with Barcelona not at their best, they had to rely on Messi to guide them forward, as he has done on countless occasions in the past. Much was made of the exchange between the Barcelona star and Chelsea boss Conte after the game, with BT Sport commenting on it too, as seen in the tweet below, while Gary Lineker joked in the studio that the Italian was ‘tapping him up’. ...

Dino Melaye, Senator representing Kogi West. [Photo Credit: Punch Newspapers] The Court of Appeal in Abuja has ruled that the recall process of Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West, be restarted. The senator had approached the appellate court in a bid to stop the process after an Abuja Federal High Court in September 2017 gave the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the go-ahead to begin Melaye’s recall process. In the latest judgement delivered on Friday, Justice Tunde Awotoye and two other judges ruled that there was no cause for action and the Federal High Court that adjudicated the case ought not to have entertained it in the first place. The Appeal Court held that Mr. Melaye’s claim was ‘hasty, premature and presumptuous,’ Vanguard reports. The court ordered INEC to continue with the planned verification of 188,588 who reportedly signed petition for the recall. Mr. Melaye is facing a recall by his constituents who in a petition...
