Amad Diallo has scored his first-ever goal for Man United U23s 15 minutes into the game against Liverpool U23s.
The winger looked bright from the get-go and pounced on some poor close control by a Liverpool defender inside his own goal.

• The Ivorian shows brilliant pressing ability to take the ball off the defender and sprints through on goal.

• Diallo makes no mistake slotting home comfortable in a 1v1 situation with the goalkeeper to give his side the lead.

 

Man United attacker Jesse Lingard has completed his short-term loan move to domestic rivals West Ham United. England international joined the Red Devils youth academy all the way in 2000 and after enjoying a string of successful loan spells, eventually went on to make his senior first-team debut in 2014.

After sanctioning a loan move for the 28-year-old winger, the Red Devils have agreed on terms with David Moyes’ Hammers in a switch which will see the English winger play in the country’s capital until the end of the campaign.

However, the English attacker is destined to end up back at Carrington at the end of the season due to West Ham’s agreement containing no option to buy him at the end of the campaign.

Since forcing his way into Man United’s first-team, Jesse has gone on to feature in 210 games in all tournaments, with his highlight moment being scoring the 2016 FA Cup final’s winning goal with Crystal Palace.

However, after continuing to fall further and further down current coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pecking order, Lingard has struggled to get minutes under his belt over the last 12-months.

Check out Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest defeats in their career so far

In this article, Jbstylez presents to the public the biggest career defeats of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Let's have a look below:

Lionel Messi:

Lionel Messi biggest defeat so far in his career is Barcelona's 8-2 lost to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League in 2020.

The encounter was a one-off tie but Lionel Messi couldn't stop the free-scoring Bayern Munich side from putting 8 goals past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

On the International scene, Messi's biggest defeat with Argentina was against Bolivia which ended 6-1.

Argentina fielded a strong line up against Bolivia featuring Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

Big names like Angel di Maria and Kun Aguero came in as substitutes but failed to prevent Argentina coached by Diego Maradona, from recording their joint highest defeat in their history.

Cristiano Ronaldo:

Christian Ronaldo has also recorded big defeats in his career.

The 5-0 thrashing for Real Madrid was the highest defeat for a team managed by Jose Mourinho at the time.

Before the clash, Real Madrid were top on the league table and many expected a close affair at the Nou Camp, but Barcelona were simply special.

Barcelona performance was a masterpiece! They managed to crack Mourinho's defence which has always been his strength and hit 5 goals.

For the neutrals, it was enjoyable!

On the international stage, Ronaldo biggest defeat was against Brazil (6-2) in 2008.

There you have it!

 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer issues Bruno Fernandes denial ahead of Arsenal clash 

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brushed off criticism that his team is too reliant on star player Bruno Fernandes, who has been directly responsible for 45 goals in 52 appearances during his first year with the club.

But Solskjaer insists it is not a case of United play well when Fernandes plays well. Instead, the boss argues that the Portuguese playmaker is simply the perfect fit for the team and vice versa. The fact that he arrived into an under-performing team this time last year further highlighted his impact.

Equally, Fernandes needs other players to be performing in order for his attributes to be effective. It is not as straightforward as being a one-man show by any means.

“Bruno has come in and helped the team, no doubt about that,” Solskjaer is quoted as saying by The Guardian as United prepare to face Arsenal on Saturday evening.

“Bruno came in at a time when we needed that type of player and he came into a team that makes his attributes and skills come to fruition.

He’s come to a team that suits him and he suits the team. That goes hand in hand. If the players don’t run, Bruno can’t play his passes. If Bruno doesn’t play his passes then they can’t run.

“He’s part of a chain here and I’m sure that Bruno will say that he also appreciates his teammates and that they help him through games.”

In this most bizarre of seasons, United are in a Premier League title race for the first time since they last lifted the trophy in 2012/13.

But the timing of Saturday’s fixtures means Manchester City could be four points clear by the time Solskjaer’s side face Arsenal.

It makes United’s trip to the Emirates Stadium must-win to keep the pressure up. On the off-chance Sheffield United repeat their trick and beat City, it even throws up the chance of going back top.

 Supercomputer Predicts Finally Premier League Table After Man United Loss

A supercomputer predicts Manchester City will pip Liverpool to regain the Premier League title this season.


A supercomputer predicts Manchester City will pip Liverpool to regain the Premier League title this season.

After a slow start, Pep Guardiola's side have found their form and a superb winning run, along with recent results elsewhere, means they are top of the table with a game in hand after 19 matches.

And FiveThirtyEight, the masters in crunching data, believe City will lift a third Premier League crown in five seasons under Guardiola.


However, in terms of how they work out their outcomes, according to their official website, "every team has an offensive rating that represents the number of goals it would be expected to score against an average team on a neutral field, and a defensive rating that represents the number of goals it would be expected to concede.

"These ratings, in turn, produce an overall SPI rating, which represents the percentage of available points.

A win is worth 3 points, a tie worth 1 point, and a loss worth 0 points - the team would be expected to take if that match were played over and over again."

Going off their algorithms, City will finish as champions on 85 points, with a +53 goal difference.

 

If their predictions are accurate, current holders Liverpool will have to settle for second place, 12 points behind City and just two ahead of third-placed Manchester United.

After missing out on a top four finish last term, Leicester City will secure Champions League football for the second time - with Tottenham and Chelsea missing out as per the forecast.

West Ham and Aston Villa seal comfortable top half finishes but AFTV looks set to provide more box office entertainment given Arsenal are expected to end Mikel Arteta's first full season in charge in tenth.

There's no change at the bottom as unsurprisingly it's West Brom, Sheffield United and Fulham who will be relegated to the second tier according to the data.

Manchester United To Start Transfer Talk With Jadon Sancho Anytime Soon

"He's beginning to click again. He looks really sharp, he looks up for it. By all accounts, he's had a really good, small, winter break. A few days off where he's come back full of energy. And you can see it on the pitch. And I think the debates or the names being mentioned will increase again, because his form is picking up again.

"But everybody in Dortmund knows nothing will happen in January, the player is not agitating for a move, there's a very clear agreement that transfers of that magnitude at Dortmund will only happen in the summer.

"There was a big transfer announced in January a couple of years ago. That was Christian Pulisic [to Chelsea]. But remember, even his deal was the deal for the summer.

"So no one's stopping United, if they went out, and felt really confident, to say, 'let's do this deal now, let's make sure we get in now'. And maybe then announce it at the end of January. That's inherently possible.

"We just haven't seen or heard anything to suggest that they are indeed ready and willing to come back to that negotiation at the moment. I think everyone at Dortmund is under no illusions that the player wants to leave.

"But they think that the offers and the real negotiations will start closer to towards spring when clubs are perhaps in a better position to understand how much money they'll have available for their transfer window in the summer."

Varsity workers begin nationwide strike Feb 5

Non-teaching staff in universities will commence a nationwide strike from February 15, 2021 over the Federal Government’s handling of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System(IPPIS), sharing formula of the N40 billion earned academic allowances and non-payment of arrears of the new minimum wage.

The workers, under the Joint Action Committee, which is made up of Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities, (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) had last week embarked on a three- day protest over government’s failure to honour the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed with the unions on 20th October, 2020.

The committee said other contentious issues that informed the decision to embark on a nationwide industrial action include inconsistencies in IPPIS payment and the delay in the renegotiation of the FGN/ ASUU/SSANU 2009 Agreement.

Others are the non-payment of retirement benefits to former members, non-constitution of visitation panels to universities, poor funding of universities, teaching staff usurping the headship of non-teaching units, among others.

Addressing newsmen on Friday in Abuja, the JAC of SSANU and NASU led by the National President of SSANU, Comrade Mohammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, said out of the seven issues under contention, only one was partially resolved.

JAC said: “Out of the seven issues, only one has been partially resolved while the other six issues have not been attended to by government, three months after the Memorandum of Understanding was signed.”

JAC noted that after the congresses held by its branches on Tuesday this week, 90 per cent of NASU members were in support of a strike and 10 percent stood against it. While 83 per cent of SSANU members were in support of embarking on strike, 11 per cent were against the strike and 6 percent were indifferent.

“It is in line with the resolution of our members nationwide that the leadership of the joint action committee of NASU and SSANU hereby resolve as follows;

“That members of NASU and SSANU shall embark on an indefinite, comprehensive and total strike with effect from midnight of Friday, 5th February 2021.

“That two weeks’ notice effective from today, Friday 22nd January 2021, is hereby given to government and relevant stakeholders of this development,” the JAC president said.

 President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, has offered some explaination as to why the pigeons used to symbolise peace refused to fly on the Armed Forces Remembrance day.

Mr. Adesina who disclosed this on Thursday, in an article he titled ‘REFLECTIONS FROM A WREATH LAYING CEREMONY’ disclosed that the pigeons did not fly because they have gotten used to the cage as lawful captives.

The president’s aide said that the birds not flying was completely normal, being roaming animals that have been circumscribed for a period of time he is not aware of.

“The pigeons had been kept in a cage. For how long, I do not know. And When birds and some other roaming animals have been circumscribed for a while, they get accustomed to their new status as lawful captives.Therefore, when you offer them freedom, they first baulk, thinking it’s too good to be true. It is a natural phenomenon,” Mr. Adesina wrote.

Mr. Adesina also characteristically threw a jab at Nigerian social media commentators who described the refusal of the birds to fly as an omen that there is no peace in the country, describing majority of them as “idle and indolent.”

He wrote: “But not to the idle and indolent, most of who populate the social media. It was time to major in something minor, cavil and find fault unnecessarily.”
