Posted on by Inkoom Esther

The South African billionaire admits he was a fan of the Red Devils as a child.

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has told his social media followers that he wants to buy Manchester United. United fans’ dissatisfaction with Glazer ownership has recently reached new heights, and the Red Devils are facing another disappointing transfer period.

They are no closer to signing long-term goal Frankie de Jong and are also linked with Marko Arnautovic and Adrien Rabiot. Both deals are not very popular with fans.

Manchester United failed on the pitch in their first two Premier League matches, losing 2-1 to Brighton and 4-0 to Brentford.

What did Elon Musk say about the United acquisition?

Musk thrilled Manchester United fans with a spectacular tweet on Wednesday.

After providing yet another update on his political affiliation, the Tesla CEO tweeted: “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.””

When asked if he was serious, Musk took the stand.

He added: “No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports team. Although, if it were a team, it would be Man U. They were my fav team as a kid!”

Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U. They were my fav team as a kid.

Other person who could buy United from the GGlazer

Musk isn’t the only one involved in the recent acquisition. Michael Knighton, who first bought the club for £10 million in 1989, was also mentioned as a potential buyer.

Earlier this month, Knighton said he was planning a “hostile takeover” of Old Trafford.

 “We have an inept and frankly useless ownership who know little about this game of football. Everyone knows that we need new ownership of this football club and that is my aim and those are my objectives,” he stated.

“I am making good progress, continuing to talk to the people, I have got some good pledges and good finance. We are now working on the offer document. Remember, it is a hostile bid – that simply means that the club isn’t officially for sale.”

Posted on by Inkoom Esther

Nigerian Toby Amusan won the gold medal in the 100m hurdles with a world record of 12.06, originally entered at the World Championships on Sunday, but was later ruled unable to compete due to wind speeds exceeding legal limits.

Amusan broke the world record 12:12 in the semi-finals at Hayward Field last Sunday.

Gabriel Jesus scores a goal after Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-0 in pre-season.

Posted on by Inkoom Esther

Gabriel Jesus continued his impressive pre-season form by scoring another goal after Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-0 in a friendly in Florida on Saturday.

Joining Arsenal from Manchester City earlier this month, Jesus scored four goals in three appearances for his new club in front of 63,811 fans at Camping World Stadium in Orlando to win for the Gunners.

Another encouraging performance from Mikel Arteta’s side who took the lead with two goals in the first half after dominating the first 45 minutes.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could not hide his anger at the team’s poor first half, which was repeatedly subjected to deft counter-attacks from Arsenal.

Chelsea pulled off a promising attack in just five minutes when new player Raheem Sterling sent Timo Werner into space, but French defender William Saliba eliminated the threat with solid cover.

Arsenal should have started scoring right after Gabriel Martinelli exploded at half-time. The Brazilian crossed for Bukayo Saka, but his shot was blocked by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Arsenal’s pressure finally paid off in the 15th minute after Chelsea’s Nathaniel Chalobah sent the ball home with a mistake straight for Granit Xhaka.

The Swiss international gave a good ball to Jesus, who for the first time calmly beat the fast Mendy and made the score 1:0. Martin Odegaard made it 2-0 for the Gunners  with another great performance in the 36th minute.

Paz Martinelli found the Norwegian playmaker in Chelsea’s space and the attacking midfielder spun neatly and shot below Mendy.

Chelsea’s best chance in a sluggish first half was when Mason Mount beat Aaron Ramedale in extra time but was brought down by Aaron Ramsdale who fired from the edge of the box but hit the post.

Arsenal extended the lead halfway through the second half when Saka hit a close-range home run after Mendy blocked Xhaka’s long-range shot.

Arsenal continued to create chances but had to wait until extra time for Albert Sambi Lokonga to score the fourth goal from a header  past  Mendy from a cross from Portugal international Cedric.

Manager of Asante Kotoko, Dr. Prosper Nartey Ogum.

The manager of Asante Kotoko, Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum resigned on Wednesday after meeting with the club’s board and management.

His resignation came as a surprise to the sports club after an impressive performance last season that made him a fan favorite.
The former WAFA manager reportedly resigned ahead of the next season due to a lack of respect from the club and contract signing issues.

According to souces, there was a disagreement between coach Prosper Nartec Ogum and management of Asante Kotoko regarding the choice of players. He was questioned for handing starting roles to some players ahead of Fabio Gama.

Management opposed the decision to sign Joseph Tetteh Zutah from Medeama SC. He claims that Teteh Zuta is his top priority for next season’s campaign.

Prosper Narteh Ogum at the meeting told the board that he was dissatisfied with the club’s transfer activities and the attitude of some of the leaders.

Prosper Narteh Ogum expressed his disappointment at the absence of the board and management of the club at his father’s week-long celebration.

He refused to compromise on the club’s transfer deal in order to sell some key players at the meeting. One board member asked him, If he could give them a $3 million budget for the 2022-23 season since he insist on not selling some players. … ”If you can give us money, they will stay.”

Dr. Narte Ogum wishlisted 17 players for Asante Kotoko’s campaign next season, and asked the club [Board and management] to remove 10 players, but the club hired 17 new players, and 10 people did not agree to get rid of any of the players.
