🗣️ Sadio Mané:
“Cristiano Ronaldo is truly amazing. When Bento fouled the striker and got sent off, Ronaldo was furious with him for making such a reckless mistake. The coach consulted Ronaldo and asked for a tactical change, meaning one of the attackers had to be substituted.
Ronaldo came to me and told me that he wanted to come off because he believed it was the best decision for the team. It was only his second game of the season, and he hadn’t played a full 90 minutes yet. He told me to lead the attack so he could come off.
I respected his decision and promised him that we would definitely make a comeback—and we did. He came to me in the dressing room to congratulate me, and all of us cheered for him for making such a bold sacrifice for the team.
He always wants this team to win, whether he’s on the pitch or not.”

A CALL FOR ATTENTION TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.
There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear.
I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected.
We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election. @realDonaldTrump
🚨🗣 Kylian Mbappe on training with Madrid new player Yan Diomande:
"When I showed up for training today, He [Diomande] walked up to me and said He can create a chance for me even if I am in the midst of three people I said no way and Luckily, we were on the same team in training and I scored 6 goals from 7 chances He created"
"Mourinho and I were excited for him because the guy was electric and He never gets tired"
🚨 Marcus Rashford on his first conversation with Matheus Cunha after returning:
“Brazilians have a good sense of humour. The first thing Cunha jokingly said to me was, ‘Bro… if you want the No. 10 shirt back, just tell me. We’ll sort it out.’ I laughed.,
I told him, ‘The only thing I want back is United winning trophies. Keep the shirt..Just make sure nobody ever has a reason to ask for it.’
🚨 Marcus Rashford and André Onana will each receive a 25% salary increase after Manchester United qualified for the Champions League — despite not playing a single minute for the club this season. ❌⏳
💰 Rashford's reported wage rises back to £325,000 per week, while Onana's increases to almost £200,000 per week under clauses in their legacy contracts.

Osun Election: Prepare to sign your uncle as a dancer in your music band after his expected loss — Gov uzodinma replies Davido
Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has responded to Afrobeats star Davido after the singer urged an unnamed politician from Imo State to allow a free and fair governorship election in Osun.
Davido, who is leading the youth campaign mobilisation for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, had alleged that an Imo politician planned to interfere in the election and urged the individual to allow Osun residents decide their leader peacefully.
Reacting through his Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, Uzodimma said: “It is rather pedestrian for Davido to direct such an appeal to the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum simply because his wife is from Imo State. Instead, his appeal should be directed to the people of Osun State, who will ultimately decide the election’s outcome through their votes.”
He added that he remains committed to “a peaceful, free, and credible election” and said the APC would continue to canvass support for its governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
The governor also claimed Governor Ademola Adeleke had “failed woefully in the discharge of his responsibilities,” insisting many Osun voters were ready to replace him.
According to him: “The signals emerging from across Osun State are clear. There is a growing indication that a significant number of voters have rejected the current administration and are prepared to embrace a new direction.”
Uzodimma further advised Davido to focus on his uncle’s future after the election instead of making emotional appeals.
“Rather than attempting to influence Governor Hope Uzodimma through emotional appeals, Davido should concentrate on helping his uncle prepare for life after office… Perhaps, Davido should also begin making preparations to officially sign his uncle as a dancer in his musical band because, judging by the mood of the electorate, he may well be out of a political job after the August 15, 2026, governorship election,” he said.
