Jose Mourinho to hold talks with Ryan Giggs in bid to keep Manchester United legend at Old Trafford


Giggs is understood to be set on leaving after Louis van Gaal's departure with United ready to offer him a reduced role under the new set-up

Jose Mourinho is set to hold talks with Ryan Giggs in a bid to keep him at Manchester United.

Giggs was assistant manager under Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford with the Dutchman finally axed on Monday evening.

United have made Giggs an offer to stay at the club in a 'downgraded' role and it is our understanding he is set on leaving United.

But Mourinho is ready to make a last-ditch attempt to keep Giggs at the club, reports the Manchester Evening News.

It is reported Brian Kidd has been earmarked as a shock replacement for Giggs. City coach Kidd, who scored in United's 1968 European Cup final win on his 19th birthday, played for the club for seven years before he returned as a community coach in the late 1980s.

City insist Kidd is 'going nowhere' but the prospect of returning to the club he served impeccably as player and coach could tempt the 66-year-old back to United.

Sir Alex Ferguson promoted Kidd to assistant manager in 1991, and the duo presided over four Premier League title wins, two FA Cup triumphs and a League Cup win.

Their relationship, however, soured after Kidd left Ferguson to manage Blackburn in 1998. Ferguson severely criticised Kidd in his autobiography over his preference to sign John Hartson over Dwight Yorke, and criticised the Manchester-born coach as 'insecure'.

Kidd was upset by Ferguson's comments and his association with United was tainted in the eyes of supporters when he was confirmed as Leeds' head coach on the eve of United's February 2001 trip to Elland Road. Kidd has spent the last seven years at City and is expected to be a part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff.

Giggs left United's Carrington training ground early on Monday morning and headed to his restaurant George's in Worsley, where he was described as 'having a face like thunder'.

One source claimed Giggs had said his goodbyes to groundsmen at United's training complex before he left the premises, however the club did not comment on his future in the statement announcing Van Gaal's departure.

Female fans ‘pester’ me for sex – Samini

Reggae and Dancehall artiste Samini, has revealed that he continues to receive overtures by female fans for sex.

“Well sometimes certain people fall for the vibes,” he said.

According to him, the lyrics of his songs sometimes move the female fans triggering them to demand more than a mere fan-artiste relationship.

“Well sometimes because of what you preach in your music or stories you talk about; certain people find you nailing the problems on the head. They tend to live what you are saying and see you as one who can solve the problem they have,” he told Naa Klordey on the Ultimate Brunch.

He, however, cautioned upcoming artistes to be careful in such circumstances indicating that it sometimes become too personal advising them to devise ways in dealing with the situation in extreme cases.

“You have to be careful how to relate with them in an artiste-fan relationship. Once a while we try to run away from them but there are certain people who will make more than a fan,” he added.

I am not a gay pastor - Rev. Frimpong Manso

The Former Moderator of the Conference of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Dr Frimpong Manso has denied rumors that he is practicing homosexuality.

Very Rev. Manso resigned from the church last year.

The decision to resign follows a resolution by the leadership of the Presby Church Ghana to sever their relationship with pro-homosexual Presbyterian Church, United States of America over their decision to ordain gay priests.

Rev. Dr Manso who is on assignment to the church in USA had been recalled and asked to report back to Ghana by December 31 2015 as a result of the fallout. 

But Rev. Dr Manso who heads a church with gays and lesbians dominance in the United State of America said he is still married to his wife adding that nothing will compel him to change his sexual orientation as a Minister of the Gospel and his church, Presbyterian Church of the USA.

Speaking to the media at a press conference in Accra, the Former Moderator said his church in the USA is protected by law where it is mandated to bless only marriages between men and women and not otherwise.

Dr Frimpong Manso charged members of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana to question the leadership of the church to explain the rationale behind his dismissal from the church and all the falsehood that has been leveled against.

Meanwhile, the former moderator said he still considers himself as a member of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and therefore has every right to enter into any of the auditorium of the church without any restriction.

The Weekend wins big at 2016 Billboard Music awards

He didn’t perform, but The Weeknd was the big winner at Sunday (May 22) night’s 2016 Billboard Music Awards, taking home eight honors, including Top Hot 100 Artist and Top R&B Artist at the event, broadcast live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Adele won the biggest honor of the evening, Top Artist, accepting in a pre-recorded video from overseas, while Justin Bieber (Top Male Artist) and Rihanna (the fan-voted Chart Achievement Award) also walked away happy.

But this was a show defined by moments and performances, both celebratory and somber, throughout the evening.

Britney Spears kicked off proceedings with a medley of her hits that began with “Work Bitch,” “Womanizer” and “I Love Rock and Roll” — delivered while gyrating on a giant guitar — and culminated with “Toxic,” showcasing both her well-known hits (“I’m a Slave 4 U” was also included) and some deeper cuts.

And Madonna’s tribute to Prince put an exclamation point on the evening — she began singing “Nothing Compares 2 U” on a purple throne and brought out Stevie Wonder to assist her on a powerful rendition of “Purple Rain” that had Rihanna dabbing and The Weeknd singing along.

Prince was on everybody’s mind from the beginning — The Weeknd dedicated his Top Hot 100 Artist victory to the late icon early in the show — but there were plenty of highlights in the build-up to Madge’s tribute.

Fifth Harmony got sensual while performing “Work From Home” with Ty Dolla $ign, while Meghan Trainor strolled through the crowd to her latest single “No.” And Pink delivered the world television debut of her latest single “Just Like Fire,” a cut from the Alice Through the Looking Glass soundtrack, by reprising her high-flying awards show routine on a harness above the crowd; toward the end, she rose above the stage sitting on the hands of a giant clock that erupted into flames.

Speaking of fantastic singers, the elegant Celine Dion looked resplendent and sounded even better when powering through “The Show Must Go On” in front of a full orchestra, imparting as much meaning as possible into every word while the musicians behind her — including Lindsey Stirling on violin — did the same.

Seal, who introduced her, called her performance “exquisite” before bringing out her son to deliver the Icon Award to his mother, which brought her to tears. It was the most emotional moment in a night that promised — and delivered — plenty of them.

Despite not being there, Adele still made an impact, winning five awards and using the opportunity to debut her new music video, for “Send My Love (To Your New Lover).”

And though the awards broadcast featured plenty of fireworks — Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and the Go-Go’s all delivered eye-catching performances — there were a lot of low key, stripped down renditions as well from the likes of Lukas Graham (“7 Years”),Shawn Mendes (“Stitches”) and Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani (“Go Ahead and Break My Heart”).

Beyonce, Rihanna no match for me — Wiyaala

She delivers on almost any stage she mounts and singer Wiyaala proudly says she has no competitor when it comes to stage performance.

“I have no contender in Ghana and most people who have had the opportunity to watch my performances can attest to it.

“My energy comes from the rehearsals I do on daily basis,” she told Showbiz in an interview after her performance at Okyeame Kwame’s “Music and Wheels” show held at 233 Grill and Bar last Friday.

According to the Rock Ma Body hitmaker, it is the internationally-acclaimed musicians she wants to compete with and not her colleagues in Ghana.

Asked whether she could compete with the likes of Rihanna and Beyoncé, the winner of last year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Best Female Vocal Artiste of the Year, said not even Rihanna and Beyoncé can match up her energy and craft on stage.
“I am not blowing my own horn but trust me, I have watched performances by Rihanna and Beyoncé and I believe I can do better than them.

“They just have big platforms. I know when I also get a big platform like theirs, I can do much better than them,” she said confidently.

Talking about her performances, Wiyaala, who has performed at events such as Fashion Icon Awards, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, African Fashion Show and Rocky Dawuni's Homecoming Concert, said she is always on top of her game because she rehearses almost everyday.

She explained that she was best at what she does because she always left her fans screaming for more anytime she was done with her performances.

“When people spend their hard-earned money to attend a show, I need to put up my best and I believe that has also kept me going. I don’t want a situation where people will regret attending a show after my performance,” she added.
Known for songs such as Leno, Make Me Dance, Go Go Black Stars, Tinambanyi, Peace, Africa, Siiko, Bunsun and You Got The Power, Wiyaala told her fans to watch out for great music from her this year.

Born Noella Wiyaala in the Upper West regional capital, Wa, but raised in Tumu, she attended Takoradi Polytechnic where she studied Art and Design.

She first came to public attention in 2011 when she won two Golden Moments awards at TV reality show, Stars of the Future.
The following year, she won the Vodafone Icons Mixed Edition contest, singing Tina Turna’s hit song, Simply the Best, as a member of the Black N Peach band.

Wiyaala, a brand ambassador for Pepsi in West Africa, alongside Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage, left Black N Peach band in April 2013 to pursue a solo career with Djimba World Records.

Opoku Ware SHS student stabbed to death

An eighteen-year-old Senior High School student of Opoku Ware Senior High School in the Ashanti Region was yesterday stabbed to death following a confrontation between two men over a lover.

The deceased, identified as Isaac Kwesi Amponsah, according to an eyewitness account, was trying to separate the two men who were fighting when one of them stabbed him in the process.

The two men, identified as Justice Abban and Frank Kwabena, aka Taller, 43, were fighting over a woman at Olebu in the Ga West Municipality.

Suspect Justice Abban, who allegedly pulled the knife to stab the schoolboy, according to the eyewitness account, was severely beaten by some neighbours before he was handed over to the police.

He is currently receiving treatment at the Police Hospital under heavy security.

The eyewitness indicated that the incident occurred around 7:30am yesterday morning.

The woman the two were allegedly fighting over is currently at large and is yet to be identified.

According to DAILY GUIDE’s source, the woman was in a relationship with Justice Abban for some years and they had a child.

Early this year, the woman allegedly travelled to her hometown and upon her return, broke up with Justice and decided to move in with suspect Frank Kwabena Owusu, her new lover.

This did not go down well with suspect Abban and so he often fought Frank over the issue.

Around 7am yesterday, suspect Justice Abban, armed with a knife, asked two of his friends—Samuel Offei aka Okotor, 42, and Solomon Agyeman, 43—to escort him to the house of Frank Owusu to attack him.

On arrival at suspect Frank’s house, the witness said, Frank was not in the house but he was called back to the house by suspect Abban.

Fight

When Frank returned, suspect Abban immediately picked a fight with him and so some neighbours, including Amponsah, a friend to Frank who lived with the mother behind Frank’s house, upon hearing the noise, came to separate the two rivals.

In the course of the separation, suspect Abban pulled the knife and stabbed Isaac Amponsah in the neck.

The witness said Isaac Amponsah, after the attack, attempted to run away from the scene but suspect Abban pursued him and stabbed him again in the middle of the street.

The victim then fell on the ground and died on the spot.

After committing the act, suspect Abban attempted to run away but residents chased and apprehended him. They then subjected him to severe beatings before handing him over to the police.

Later, personnel of the Police Crime Scene and the Amasaman District Police Command visited the scene to pick up the body of Isaac Amponsah to the Police Hospital morgue for preservation.

Arrest

The Amasaman District Crime Officer, DSP Happy Addai, when contacted, said police investigations led to the arrest of suspect Samuel Offei (Abban’s friend) and Frank Owusu, one of the rivals, to assist them to investigate the matter.

Concerning the woman, the Amasaman District Police Crime Officer said she was also on the run and had been declared wanted.

The matter is still under investigation.
