Omotola Jalade opens up about her marriage to captain Ekeinde

Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, has spoken up about her marriage to captain Ekeinde. In a recent interview, she revealed some of the secrets that have kept her marriage together for the past 27 years. According to her, her marriage to Captain Matthew Ekeinde stood strong because she never tried to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her husband.

Greater heights.” @akpima said: “Woman wey sabi the way.” @akorexe added: “May you experience more years together.”

Manchester City dedicate training pitch, mosaic to former captain Ilkay Gundogan

Manchester City have paid tribute to their former captain Ilkay Gundogan by dedicating a training pitch to the treble-winning midfielder. Gundogan, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Tuesday, departed the club during the summer transfer window to join Barcelona, concluding a successful seven-year stint with the Etihad club. Gundogan scored City’s title-winning goal against Aston Villa, a match that ended 3-2 on the final day of the 2022 Premier League campaign. He has been immortalized in a mosaic displayed alongside the newly dedicated training pitch at the City Football Academy.

Ilkay Gundogan lifting Manchester City’s 2022/23 EPL title Mail Sports reported that Khaldoon Al Mubarak, Chairman of Manchester City, led the tribute during the unveiling ceremony. He said, “On behalf of everyone associated with Manchester City, it is really my privilege and honour to unveil this mosaic that is a tribute to every accomplishment you’ve made over the years. “You have been an important leader, an important pillar of the history of this club that will never be forgotten,” Mubarak added. He noted that Gundogan’s contributions, both on and off the field, have left quite an impression on the club. “But beyond these great accomplishments as a football player, your accomplishments as a leader, both in the club and in the community, will never be forgotten.” Manchester City are in the habit of celebrating their legends in remarkable ways. Similar tributes have also been given to some of the club’s best players in times past. Some of them include Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero, and David Silva, who have been honoured with statues at the Etihad Stadium.

Maguire to be replaced as captain of Manchester United

Maguire to be replaced as captain of Manchester United

English footballer, Harry Maguire is set to be replaced as captain of Manchester United even if he ends up staying at Old Trafford. Amid an erratic period of form in club colours, the England international lost his place in the United line-up last season, making just 16 Premier League appearances. Manager Erik ten Hag instead favoured Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane as his centre-back pairing, with Victor Lindelof also seemingly ahead of Maguire in the pecking order.

Indeed, he’s reportedly part of an intended summer clear out, with David de Gea confirming on Saturday, July 8, that he’s leaving the club after 11 years. Maguire has been at Old Trafford since making a world-record £80 million switch from Leicester City in 2019 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge and was appointed captain soon after. But there have been calls to replace the centre-back in that particular role due to the change in his squad status, and now Ten Hag is ready to inflict more misery on Maguire by stripping him of the captaincy. According to The Sun, Maguire will be replaced as captain ‘over the course of the next week’ whether he decides to stay or leave. The England defender has a year left on his current deal and United may be looking to cash in to recover a sizeable fee.

Newcastle and Tottenham remain potential destinations for the Sheffield-born star, who is valued at around £30m by his club. Ten Hag is ready to hand the role to Bruno Fernandes, who has taken on the responsibility when Maguire has been benched. Another potential candidate for the captaincy is Casemiro, given how the Brazilian has taken a leading role in the team since his move from Real Madrid. But the Brazilian midfielder has downplayed suggestions about the importance of being named captain and says acting like a leader on the pitch is more important.
