Stanley Nwabali, the goalie for the Nigerian Super Eagles, lost his mother this evening, less than three months after his father passed away.

British-Nigerian professional boxer, Anthony Joshua, has paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Lagos residence. 

The meeting was made public on Wednesday through photos shared on X by Dada Olusegun, President Tinubu’s special assistant on social media.

During the visit, Joshua presented the President with an autographed boxing glove with a personalised  message to the president.

The inscription reads, “To the Great Asiwaju Jagaban, Borgu of Africa, ‘Bola A Tinubu.’”

Manchester United suffered another defeat in the Premier League, putting them in a precarious position as the league reaches the halfway point.

Ruben Amorim’s side was beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Sunday, leaving them 14th.

The Portuguese coach, who took over from Erik ten Hag last month, said his team could be in a relegation battle.

Are Man United in relegation fight?

Man United were last relegated from the English top flight 50 years ago. If things don’t improve, they could go down for the first time in Premier League history.

Last season, they recorded their worst finish in Premier League history, but if things don’t improve, it could be worse this season.

At the halfway point, they are 14th with 22 points: six wins, four draws and nine defeats.

Amorim’s side have lost the last four matches in a row and six of their last eight. They’ve also lost three consecutive home games for the first time since 1979, per Sky Sports.

Since the Portuguese coach took charge last month, he has overseen just four wins in 11 matches.

Amorim on relegation threat

The Red Devils were poor in the first half against Newcastle United, and things could’ve been worse.

The introduction of Kobbie Mainoo helped the hosts gain some control. However, they struggled to create chances. Amorim fears his team is in a relegation fight.

BBC Sport asked the former Sporting CP if his team was in a battle to avoid the drop.

“I think that it is a possibility. We have to be clear with our fans.”

He was also asked if it was embarrassing to talk about relegation as a Man United coach.

“It is also my fault,” he said. “The team is not improving. It is a little bit lost in this moment and it is a bit embarrassing to be Manchester United coach and lose a lot of games. I think people are tired of excuses at this club. This club needs a shock.”

Why Amorim took Zirkzee off

TUKO.co.ke earlier reported that Amorim explained his reasoning for subbing Joshua Zirkzee in the first half against Newcastle.

The 39-year-old said he was thinking about the team when he replaced him with Kobbie Mainoo in the 33rd minute.
