MOURINHO IS RIGHT - £75M GOAL-MACHINE LUKAKU IS A BARGAIN

The front man was at it again on Tuesday as he led United to Champions League victory with another goal and a convincing performance up front
Manchester United returned to Champions League football after a 21-month hiatus on Tuesday night, and by full-time it felt a bit like they’d never been away.
They saw off Basel 3-0 with a bit to spare at Old Trafford and were led, as they have been so often in the past, by a clinical showing in the final third from a big-name striker.
Romelu Lukaku has a long way to go before his European exploits can be compared with some of United’s great front men, but the Belgian marked his Champions League debut with a crucial goal and a very convincing individual performance leading the line.


Coming just days after Jose Mourinho claimed his value has already doubled since his £75 million signing this summer, Lukaku’s sixth goal in six appearances served to underline the point.

“I think we were very clever,” Mourinho told The Times . “We thought that something could happen that could change the market forever. Normally the last part of the market is less expensive, but this season after Neymar everything changed – and changed for the worse in terms of prices. I think Lukaku on August 31 would have been £150m.”

The Statement reads, ”The issuance of bench warrant led to a wild jubilation by some staff of GTB and their lawyers who were fully seated in the court. “It must be stated that based on the submission of Prof Mbadugha, counsel to Innoson, the judge erred in law by making an order to issue a bench warrant against Innoson. “The court is bound by law to listen ...

 Voters in Anambra state go to the polls to elect a new governor this weekend, with security tight after a call from a pro-Biafran group for people to boycott the polls. The result of Saturday’s election is unlikely to change anything politically at the national level but proceedings are being watched closely because of what analysts have said are “unprecedented” measures to stop unrest. Nigeria’s federal police said it is sending 26,000 extra police officers, including counter-terrorism and bomb disposal specialists, sniffer and attack dogs. Three surveillance helicopters will monitor proceedings from the air, while there will be 10 gunboats on the river Niger, plus 15 armoured personnel carriers and 303 patrol vehicles. Police said the measures were “to ensure adequate security and safety of lives and properties before, during and after the elections”. “Police personnel deployed for the election are under strict instructions to be polite and civil but firm in...
