The former Manchester United player Paul Scholes says Man U world record signing Paul Pogba is not performing like the player the club bought for £100million. ‘It’s been a little bit of a struggle for him so far,’ said BT Sport pundit Scholes. ‘Tonight, again, wasn’t his best performance. I think it will come. It’s still very early days. ‘I don’t really know what position he’s playing at the minute. Has he got a position?

The former Nigeria Minister of Sports, Bala Ka’Oje, said that the incumbent Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has no right to declare `state of emergency’ in the sector. Ka’Oje address the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday following a recent comment by incumbent sport minister that he would declare a state of emergency in the sports sector. NAN reports that Team Nigeria’s poor outing at the Rio 2016 Olympics had necessitated the minister’s comment after the country won only football bronze at the Games as against the five medal he promised.  Ka’Oje said that the minister declaring state of emergency in sports meant that he had enough money to pump into the sector and turn it around without necessarily involving President Muhammadu Buhari. According to him, only the president has the authority to declare state of emergency in any sector of the economy since he alone can approve the funds needed for any serious transformation. “Is good t...
