Man Utd’s Woodward makes decision

Manchester United vice-executive chairman Ed Woodward has reportedly decided against appointing Jose Mourinho’s preferred director of football candidate.
The Red Devils are eager to introduce a director to oversee ongoings at the club following their turgid summer transfer window.
The Daily Record say Mourinho has pitched Lille bigwig Luis Campos for the role.
The United boss has reportedly been impressed by the work Campos has done at Real Madrid and Monaco earlier in his career.
But Woodward has declined to interview him and has decided to postpone an appointment until Mourinho leaves.

Zidane given warning

Robbie Savage has warned Zinedine Zidane he will be unable to rival Pep Guardiola for the Premier League title should he replace Mourinho at Old Trafford.
He told the Mirror: “I think Jose could win the league with those Manchester City players, but I don’t think Pep could win the league with the Manchester United squad.
“It’s all about players. They need to rip up the squad and start again. They need to add some world-class players into their side.
“That’s going to cost an awful lot of money.
“You could get rid of Jose, bring in Zinedine Zidane and they would still be miles off winning the league.”

Depay transfer claim

Memphis Depay failed at United because he made the move to Old Trafford too soon, according to former coach Cor Pot.
"I found Memphis especially a very positive boy,” he told Voetbalprimeur.
"You already saw that it was a very great talent, maybe he went to Manchester United a bit too early, and that was all too fast. He was just a basic player in Eindhoven, Lyon was a good step for Memphis. It's fantastic now.
"He keeps on developing himself - not only as a player, but also as a person - Memphis gets a bit calmer, does not do any crazy things anymore, but at the time he was a bit shy.
"Of course you had that fuss with that extravagant behaviour. That seems a bit over now, I think he's doing fine."

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...

When it comes to mental endurance, there are a few ways to ensure a sharp mind and excellent concentration. Peter Jordan, Principal Officer of Fedhealth, explains that nutritionists emphasise the importance of healthy eating habits at such a particularly stressful time. “They advise that the right food and drink can energise your system, improve your alertness and sustain you through the long exam hours.
