Manchester United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the Red Devils are in contract extension talks with three of their stars.

The Norwegian was brought in to fill in the managerial slot until the end of the season, following the sacking of José Mourinho on December 18.

So far so good, fans have been kept on cloud 9 by the 'FANTA-bulous' football which has been on offer since his arrival, and even more pleased with his 100% record which has seen him culminate 6 wins in 6 games in all competitions so far.



The boss had his chance to speak to the press about transfers on his return from the Red Devils training camp in Dubai last week.
"Well I read the news sometimes as well and the speculation around the club is just amazing and incredible," Solskjaer stated when asked about transfers in his Thursday press conference.
"Some players I've not even heard of that I've signed, so all these speculations about transfers - coming in and going…

1. For the first time in 32 years, Watford have won four straight home matches. They are indeed on fire!....Jose 'Uchenna' Mourinho, please come along with a 'fire extinguisher'.

Zlatan 'Ekwueme' Ibrahimovic landed in the Major League Soccer of America and wasted no time to register his presence.

Zlatan made his debut as a second half substitute and scored a goal that can best be described as a Zlatan-stic goal scored in a Zlantan-ical way.


In his characteristically humorous post-match interview, he said " I heard the crowd screaming 'We Want Zlatan', 'We want Zlatan', so I gave them Zlatan".

At this point, it is fair to say Zlatan the 'talk-na-do'  striker has conquered America!!

All the best Ibrahimovic.

Manchester United's Spanish 'goalkeeper-in-chief', David De Gea appears to have given the latest clue that he's ready to commit to the club, rather than be drawn by ongoing interest from Madrid.

Our very own David 'Osinachi' De Gea came within moments of joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2015, only for documentation issues(broken fax machine) to stop the move....(Three 'gboza' for that fax machine).

He has since continued his rise at United ever since, developing into a goalkeeper viewed by many as the best in the world.


While reflecting on the difference between England and Spain within the week, the goalkeeper was keen to point out his preference for England.

"In the end, in England I receive great affection and respect that I do not notice so much here(in Spain)," he said.

“But every time I come to the national team I feel fondness inside and it is the most important thing,” he is quoted as saying by the Daily Express.


He does seem happ…

Manchester United's 36 year old 'talk-na-do' striker, Pa Zlatan 'Ekwueme' Ibrahimovic has left the club after an agreement was reached to terminate his contract, with immediate effect.

The veteran Swedish striker who arrived United on a free transfer in the summer window of last season, scored 28 goals in his 46 games to lead United to Europa League and Carling Cup glory.


An unfortunate cruciate ligament injury in the Europa League brought his 'FANTA-bulous' debut season to an abrupt end. A one-year contract extension however  ensured he remained a Red Devil entering into the 2017/2018 season.

The injury persisted with its effect on the 36 year old restricting him to 7 cameo appearances this season. He still managed to score one signature 'Zlatan-stic' goal.


Zlatan posted on his Instagram page shortly after the news and said: "Great things also come to an end and it is time to move on after two fantastic seasons with Manchester United. Thank y…

Manchester United defender, Marcos Rojo has just signed a new contract which will  keep him at the club until at least 2021.

The Argentine no-nonsense defender's deal was set to expire in 2019, with 'amebo' gists linking him with a move away to PSG in recent times. The 27year old has however decided to commit to Manchester United till 2021, with the option to extend for a further year.


After struggling to find his feet mostly at left back under the tutelage of 'Oga Philosophy', Louis Van Gaal, Rojo's fight to stake a claim for the first team has reaped rewards, with José 'Uchenna' Mourinho getting the best out of him at centre back.

Since his signing in 2014, Marcos 'Odegbami' Rojo has won an FA Cup, a League Cup, the UEFA Europa League and a Community Shield.


Speaking about the contract extension, Rojo said, "Since I joined Manchester United, it has been everything I thought it would be and more. I am extremely happy to extend my stay at …

Manchester United manager, José 'Uchenna' Mourinho has hit back at former Crystal Palace boss Frank De Boer, following his 'amebo' comments after Rashford's winning brace against Liverpool.


When asked about Marcus Rashford's performance in the 2-1 win over Liverpool at the weekend, Frank De Boer said, "It's a pity that the manager is Mourinho, because he's an English player and you want him to be given time," the former Crystal Palace and Ajax boss told BT Sport .

De Boer added: "He can make mistakes but Mourinho is not like that and if he has one or two not good games then he puts him out.

Our very own José 'Uchenna' Mourinho duly replied the 'amebo' on Monday saying, "I read some quote from the worst manager in the history of the Premier League, Frank de Boer - seven matches, seven defeats, zero goals".



"He was saying that it is not good for Marcus Rashford to have a coach like me, because the most import…

Manchester United's 'whiz-kid' Marcus 'Rashidi-Yekini' has made an amazing confession following United's victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

United turned a 2-0 deficit with a vintage comeback that saw Nemanja 'Agu' Matic score a screamer in injury time aka 'Fergie time'.


The youngster confessed, "I have never been involved in a comeback like that before , I used to watch them on TV".

It's obvious that the young lad was referring to the glory days of the 'Igwe'(king) of Old Trafford, 'Baba' Alex Ferguson. In those days, United fans were known never to give up hope of winning even with a 3-goal deficit with two minutes to go. Super comebacks were the order of the day.


Our 'whiz-kid' was introduced in the second half and played a major part in the vintage 'Fergie time' display.

May the comebacks continue, may the goals flow and and may the glory days return to Manchester United.
