ASUU strike continues, lecturers meeting with Nigerian govt ends without resolution

Another meeting between the federal government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) ended on Monday night without an agreement.

The meeting which started at about 5 p.m. at the Federal Ministry of Education was to find a lasting solution to the ongoing strike by the university lecturers.

The union embarked on the strike three weeks ago over the poor funding of Nigerian universities and non-implementation of previous agreements by the government.

Speaking with journalists after Monday’s meeting, the National President of ASUU, Biodun Ogunyemi, said negotiation is ongoing and the meeting would continue at a later date.

Manchester United have already identified David de Gea replacement after PSG transfer blow

Manchester United have reportedly already started looking for replacements for David de Gea as he looks set for a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Red Devils will no doubt be rocked by updates emerging today, but it seems the club have begun the process of signing a new top class goalkeeper.

David de Gea looks set to leave Manchester United for PSG

According to the Mail, United have a number of targets in mind, with the top one among those seemingly Everton shot-stopper Jordan Pickford, with no other names revealed in the piece.

Video: David de Gea produces incredible save to deny Young Boys shock lead at Man Utd

As Man Utd toiled in their bid to find a breakthrough against Young Boys, they had David de Gea to thank for producing a brilliant save to keep it goalless.

After their frustration against Crystal Palace at the weekend, the last thing that Jose Mourinho would have wanted to see was another scrappy and tight affair with no goals.

Unfortunately for him, that’s exactly what he got as neither side could find a breakthrough, and fortunately for United they had De Gea between the posts to produce an unbelievable goal-line save to deny the visitors a famous lead at Old Trafford.

As seen in the video below, the strike from outside the box took a deflection which appeared to be sending it towards the back of the net with some of the Young Boys players even starting to run off ready to celebrate their opener.
