Marcus Rashford: Man Utd striker signs new deal until 2020

Manchester United's 18-year-old striker Marcus Rashford has signed a new deal which will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2020.

He scored twice on his first-team debut against Midtjylland in February and finished the season with eight goals in 18 appearances.
Rashford was selected in England's 26-man squad for Euro 2016 and scored on his debut against Australia on Friday.
"I am grateful for having the chance to prove myself," he said.
"To be able to play football at the biggest club in the world means everything to me and my family."
Rashford's new contract is thought to be worth £20,000 a week.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "He is still very young and we need to be patient, but he is developing in the right way and we believe he has a great future ahead of him."
Defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, 19, who like his team-mate had a year left on his deal, also signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2020.
There is an option to extend both deals - announced three days after new manager Jose Mourinho joined United on a three-year contract - by a further year.
After scoring twice on his United debut in the Europa League, Rashford repeated the feat in his first Premier League game three days later.
He also found the net just 138 seconds into his first senior international appearance, making him the youngest player to score on his England debut.
The teenager was represented in negotiations by family members, with advice from Chris and Wayne Welbeck, brothers of former United forward Danny, who now plays for Arsenal.

Euro 2016: Marcus Rashford in England squad - Townsend and Drinkwater miss out

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has been included in Roy Hodgson's 23-man England squad for the 2016 European Championship in France.

Rashford, 18, scored on his international debut in the 2-1 friendly victory over Australia on Friday.
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is also included, but Newcastle United's Andros Townsend and Leicester City's Danny Drinkwater both miss out.
England face Portugal in their last Euro 2016 warm-up match on Thursday.
Hodgson's side begin their campaign in France by playing Russia on 11 June, before meeting Wales on 16 June and Slovakia on 20 June.
Rashford, who signed a new four-year contract with Manchester United on Monday, only made his professional debut on 25 February, but scored eight goals in 18 club games to earn an international call-up.
Sturridge, 26, missed England's last two friendly matches but did take part in a training session on Monday.
Drinkwater helped Leicester claim a shock Premier League title, while Townsend was a member of the Newcastle team relegated from the top flight.
Hodgson initially named a 26-man squad after the final round of Premier League games, having intended to reveal his final selection on 12 May.
That was cut to 25 when Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph was moved to the standby list after picking up an injury.

Squad:

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Southampton), Tom Heaton (Burnley).
Defenders: Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Stones (Everton), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur), Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool).

Strikers: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United).

Africa Focus Nigeria Vs Luxembourg: Iheanacho to lead Eagles attack

Manchester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho is most likely going to get the nod to lead the Super Eagles’ hunt for goals in Tuesday’s friendly against Luxembourg.
Camp sources hinted that that the 19-year old will be partnering Brown Ideye upfront as Coach Salisu Yusuf is keen to try out another attacking formation since the Alex Iwobi and Odion Ighalo did not deliver the goals in last Friday’s 1-0 win over Mali in France.
Iheanacho actually saved the day for the three-time African Champions as he netted the solitary goal of the day off a well-worked out assist from Qatar-bound Babatunde Michael after coming in as a 74th minute substitute for Arsenal man, Iwobi.
If he indeed gets to start against Luxembourg, this will be the second time the 19-year  would be doing so for the Eagles having earned his first start in an AFCON 2017 qualifier in Kaduna against Egypt.
, South Africa –based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi may start in place of Carl Ikeme while there is the likelihood that former U-17 and U-20 star Wilfred Ndidi could start in midfield alongside stand –captain Ogenyi Onazi and Shehu Abdullahi.
Also, Turkey –based defender Kenneth Omeruo is a candidate for a starter’s shirt in central defence.

21-Year-Old Man Beheads His 7-Year-Old Brother In Order To Join Illuminati (Photos)

A 21-year-old man named Herbert Were has been arrested by Ugandan police for killing his little brother.
Herbert said the beheading of his 7-year-old brother named Joel Ogema was to enable him join a powerful cult named Illuminati where he will earn superpowers, fame and wealth.
A conversation between the suspect and the supposed Illuminati member who told him to kill a victim was found on Herbert’s phone as well.
Police spokesman Fred Enanga said the incident happened at Busia district on the Kenya-Uganda border.
His words: “Were has told us that he cut off his brother’s head but we arrested him on the way to meet the alleged Illuminati member who had asked for the head.”

See The ‘Giant’ Fish Akume Donated To Shehu Sani During Late Mother’s Fidau Prayers (Photo

A former governor of Benue State, Senator George Akume, has donated a giant fish to the senator representing Kaduna Central on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Shehu Sani.
Akume, who represents Benue North-West senatorial district on the platform of APC, made the donation weekend at the Tudun Wada residence of Senator Sani during the seven days fidau prayers of Hajiya Fatima Sani.
Hajiya Fatima, who is Sani’s mother, passed away penultimate Saturday at the age of 75 after a brief illness and Senator Akume was among senators that attended the fidau prayers.
The giant fish, which became the centre of attraction as soon as Akume’s aides brought it out from the car, was lifted by two men and taken into Senator Sani’s compound where residents and well-wishers began taking photographs with their mobile phones.
Earlier, Akume, who came in the same car with Senator Abdullahi Gumel (APC, Jigawa Northwest), said the number of people that came for the prayers showed that Senator Sani was a grassroots politician.
The senator, therefore, offered prayers for the repose of the soul of Hajiya Fatima and urged parents to always ensure good and qualitative upbringing of their children.

Seun Egbegbe RUBBISHES Toyin Aimakhu Apology Reports [Read True Story]

Popular Nollywood movie producer, Oluwaseun Olasunkanmi, otherwise known as Seun Egbegbe, has slammed reports that he prostrated before Nollywood actress and ex-girlfriend, Toyin Aimakhu in the presence of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni.
He also denied signing any undertaking before the CP on account of the rancour between himself and the actress.
The CEO of Ebony films has expressed great dissatisfaction at the report which emerged several days ago. He described the reports as not only being unfounded but also baseless.
“To start with, I don’t know anything about that. And to say that I signed any undertaking before the Commissioner of Police because of what happened between Toyin Aimakhu and myself is a lie. Also anybody saying that I prostrated for her before the CP or any where should come forward with a proof. How can I be prostrating for her? It’s an unfounded rumour.
“I, Seun Egbegbe, didn’t appear before the CP to sign any undertaking and I didn’t prostrate for Toyin or beg her for any reason. It’s just a rumour. Maybe those writing or posting that are only looking for unnecessary attention or maybe it’s being sponsored. If that’s true, I believe there should be a photograph as evidence just like it happened in the case of Wizkid and Linda Ikeji. So, it’s just a waste of time believing that kind of rubbish. All I know is that Toyin and I have settled and there’s no issue between us again.”
He however did not mention the tweet that appeared on his Twitter handle telling producers to star Aimakhu in their movies because they have ended their fight.
