🚨 Matheus Cunha on what Bryan Mbeumo told him about Shea Lacey:
“When you come back after a few weeks away, the 1st thing you do is ask the boys what you’ve missed. I wass speaking to Bryan. I asked him, ‘So… who’s impressed you the most?’
He didn’t even think. ‘Santos… and Shea Lacey.’ I stopped him. ‘Wait… Laceyy? I don’t remember us signing anybody called Lacey.’ Bryan just burst out laughing.
He said, ‘That’s because he isn’t a neww signing. He’s been here all along. Last season got taken away from him. This season he’s finally with us.’ Then Bryan looked at me and said, ‘Bro… watch him properly.
The talent is obvious. What surprised me most is his focus. Once the game starts, nothing else exists for him.’ I’ll be honest… By the time Bryan finished talking… I was convinced we’d signed somebody new.
Maybe that’s the biggest compliment an academy player can receive… When people mistake your breakthrough for a new signing.”
🚨 Bryan Mbeumo on Casemiro’s message after his brace against Atletico Madrid:
“After the game I saw a message from Case. He said, ‘I’ve played Atleticco enough times with Cristiano to know they don’t give strikers presents. If youve scored two against Simeone’s team, don’t start telling yourself it’s just pre season.’
Then he reminded me of something he’d told me months earlier. ‘Your movement has never been the issue. You just need to start finishing with the same confidence you arrive with.’ I sat there smiling. Case has a habit of saying things that stay in your head long after the conversation ends.”
🚨🗣️ Marcus Rashford on how he returned to Manchester United.
“During & after Villa, I knew one thing. I couldn’t keep playing against United every season. It just didn’t feel right. That’s how Barcelona came about. Lately, I told my agent, ‘If United isn’t possible, then keep me abroad. Don’t bring me another Premier League club'."
"A few weeks later I spoke to Rio. I told him I needed help finding the next step in Europe. He laughed and said, ‘You’ve spent your whole career trying to make United proud, why are you giving up after one bad chapter?’ I didn’t think much of it at the time."
"Later that evening my phone rang. It was Michael Carrick. We spoke for a while, then just before he hung up he asked me one question. 'Marcus, do you still believe you can become the player Old Trafford used to sing about?’ I sat there for a few seconds."
"I realised I’d spent months trying to convince other clubs I was still good enough, when the only club I ever wanted to prove it to was Manchester United.”
A Story with a Lesson
A story that has circulated widely on social media tells of a meeting between former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, and a blogger who frequently accused him of corruption. According to the story, the encounter ended with a powerful lesson about integrity, honesty, and the importance of making accusations only when supported by credible evidence.
Whether this story actually happened has not been independently verified. It should therefore be regarded as an anecdote rather than a confirmed historical event.
Lesson: Before accusing anyone of wrongdoing, make sure your claims are backed by credible evidence. At the same time, we should all strive to uphold integrity in our own actions before passing judgment on others.
A moment ago, I had the honour of leading Senator Rufai Hanga, who represents Kano Central and former Senator Kabiru Gaya (Kano South Senatorial District) to the State House, Abuja, for a meeting with the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
The meeting was fruitful.
Paul Scholes comments on Thomas Tuchel benching Mainoo and its impact on the England 2-1 loss to Argentina.
“When Thomas Tuchel subbed off Declan Rice, I thought he was bringing Mainoo only to see Nico O’Reily. England needed fresh legs in the midfield to reduce on the rate Argentina was attacking.
Tuchel has explained to the world why he never used a midfielder of a high potential like Kobi Mainoo. Tuchel wanted to play the last 15 minutes of the game with one defensive midfielder,It’s one of the reasons why England lost to Argentina.”
🚨CONFIRMED!!
Youri Tielemans signed his Manchester United contract at Carrington today following the completion of his medical. He was taken around the facilities & met the staff. He's now officially United's third signing of the window. 2/3 midfielder following Santos.
Welcome to United Tielemans! No true Manchester United fan will skip ❤️🇧🇪

We are resolute in this mission, and together, we shall ensure that Nigeria is OK. - RMK

🎙️🚨Pep Guardiola on Bruno Fernandes:
“Bruno is the best player in Portugal, without a doubt. If Portugal want to win the World Cup, they must build the team around him. Let him lead, let him take the free-kicks, the set-pieces, the penalties. Players like Bruno make the difference. If Portugal can maximize his qualities, they will have a great chance of winning the tournament.”
🚨 BREAKING: Mateus Fernandes rejected Arsenal and only wants Manchester United. 🔴👀
Bruno Fernandes could have a big impact on the deal as United push to get it done. 🇵🇹
🚨 Casemiro on a funny moment he experienced at Manchester United this season:
🗣️ Casemiro:
“I remember the game against Fulham. Cunha dribbles into the box, gets fouled and the referee immediately points to the penalty spot. We were celebrating already. Then the Fulham players surrounded the referee and started protesting.
VAR checked it and decided the foul was actually outside the box. So the penalty was cancelled and we got a free-kick instead. At that point I remember looking at Cunha and thinking: 'These guys have just made your effort fruitless.'
Then Bruno puts in an unbelievable ball and I score from the free-kick. After the game, me and Cunha went over to their captain and asked him: 'Be honest... which one would you have preferred? The penalty or the free-kick goal?' He looked at us and said: 'Please... just leave me alone.' Then we thanked him for the protest and walked away.”
