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”).
