The  goalkeeper Joel Pereira  by Jose Mourinho  will make his first start against Crystal Palace on Sunday
“We have two fantastic goalkeepers, and we have a third goalkeeper that I think will be the best Portuguese goalkeeper of the next generation,” said Jose Mourinho earlier this month when he was asked him about his plans for David de Gea and Sergio Romero. On Sunday, Joel Pereira gets his chance to show just how good he can be. The 20-year-old has already tasted the first-team environment at Manchester United once before when replacing Sergio Romero for the final 10 minutes of January’s 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan Athletic, but Sunday’s Premier League finale against Crystal Palace will mark his full debut at a time when the spotlight is on amidst rumors that De Gea could soon finalize a protracted move to Real Madrid.
As United fans begin to wonder who might be their club’s long-term No.1, Pereira has seen his position at the club change markedly over the last couple of years. The Swiss-born Portuguese spent the first half of 2015-16 on loan at Rochdale, where he made his first eight senior appearances. While he only kept one clean sheet at Spot land, he left a great impression on many at the club. how good he can be.After returning to Old Trafford in the winter, Pereira helped the Under-21s clinch the Premier League title for a second successive year and celebrated the feat by jumping into the away end at White Hart Lane after the crowning 3-2 win against Tottenham. If De Gea does leave this summer, United might well move into the transfer market to find a replacement for the short term. But there is real belief around Old Trafford, not least in the mind of Mourinho, that Pereira could be the answer for some years to come.

2019: Igbo won’t repeat mistake of last election.

2019: Igbo won’t repeat mistake of last election. Chief Francis Eneh from Ebonyi state is a staunch member of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia state. He said the mistake the Igbo made in the 2015 general election would not be repeated in 2019. In the 2015 election, APC did not do well in the South East, is the situation going to be any different in 2019? During the last election in the South East, we did our best, it was just that some people who did not know our mission, sabotaged our efforts, carrying unfounded propaganda that former president Goodluck Jonathan was our brother and that made people of the area to dance towards Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). They were deceived; they didn’t know that APC had a better option and a better way of reorganizing the nation more than the PDP. Take for instance, PDP ruled for 16 years and we are still battling with how to fix Aba-Owerri Road to Ikot Ekpene. But I remembered when President Muhammadu Buhari visited Aba during ...

Islamic State claims responsibility for deadly concert blast in Manchester MANCHESTER, England — The Islamic State claimed Tuesday one of its “soldiers” carried out a deadly blast in Manchester that killed at least 22 people, including teenagers and others streaming out of a pop concert. The Islamic State statement did not give any details about the attacker or how the blast was carried out late Monday. The statement was posted on the online messaging service Telegram and later noted by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant websites. The Islamic State often quickly proclaims links to attacks, but some previous claims have not been proven. British Prime Minister Theresa May called the carnage a “callous, terrorist attack.” “This attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice deliberately targeting innocent defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives,” she said, speaking outside of Dow...

An Alaska man tried to take his life. But the bullet passed through him and killed his girlfriend. Victor Sibson does not remember what happened the night he put a gun to his head, he told police. Shortly after 2 a.m. April 19, the 21 year-old Anchorage man held a handgun to his left temple as he stood in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, Brittany-Mae Haag. She attempted to grab the gun and stop him from taking his own life, prosecutors believe. Police would later find both Sibson and Haag lying on the floor with gunshot wounds, and only one shell casing on the ground, Assistant District Attorney James Fayette said so. Prosecutors believe the bullet that struck Sibson in the head — just behind his left eye — then hit Haag in the chest as she reached over to him. Fayette, who has been a prosecutor in Anchorage since 1993, said he has never seen a “one-shot” case such as this one. “It’s just compelling and tragic all the way around,” he ...
