EPL: Sir Alex Ferguson Opens Up, Reveals Why He Retired As Manchester United Manager

Legendary former Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he retired from the club to spend more time with his wife Cathy, after the death of her sister.

Ferguson stepped down after 27 years of management at Old Trafford in 2013.

During his time in charge, the Scot won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues and many other trophies.

Ferguson’s exit came 13 years after he first announced he would leave, only to make a u-turn.

While it was assumed he was leaving football because he was 71, Ferguson said on McCoist’s podcast, Ally’s Social Club: “Cathy’s sister had died in the previous October and she was lost.

“She was definitely lost so at Christmas I said to her ‘Look, I’m going to retire at the end of the season’.

“I knew by her reaction that she was delighted because she was on her own. She had given her life to me, everything to me.

“[She was] looking after me because of my job… bringing the kids up. When I said I was going to retire, she was delighted and I knew that. I could tell by her body language.”

Neymar Didn’t Listen To My Advice – Luis Suarez Opens Up

Luis Suarez, a former Barcelona attacker, has revealed that Brazilian icon and former teammate, Neymar ignored his advice to move to the Premier League instead of joining Paris Saint-Germain.

Neymar joined PSG in the summer of 2017 in a deal worth a reported €222 million, which up till now is a transfer record for any player.

The Brazilian subsequently left the French Ligue1 outfit last summer and joined Saudi Pro League side, Al-Hilal.

Neymar combined with Suarez and Lionel Messi to form a dangerous attacking line at Camp Nou, known as the dreaded MSN.

The triumvirate terrorised defences in Spain and the whole of Europe.

The South American trio played three seasons together (2014-15 to 2016-17) and won the continental treble in their first campaign.

Six more titles – including one La Liga – would follow in the next two seasons before Neymar moved to PSG.

Suarez said that Neymar’s move to France came as a surprise to him.

He told Placar TV (via Sportbible), “[We said] ‘Ney. If you want to win it all stay with us [at Barcelona]’. We said ‘Ney, at least go to England, Manchester City. Their football is better, but in France. …

“I think if Neymar had stayed at Barcelona, he would have won the Ballon d’Or, for sure.”

Neymar scored 118 goals and made 77 assists in 173 games across competitions in his injury-plagued six-season stint at PSG.

Mohbad: Primeboy Drags Nigerian Police To Court

A Nigerian singer, Owodunni Ibrahim, popularly known as Primeboy, has filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian Police Force for alleged abuse of his fundamental human rights.

Recall that, in 2023, the Nigerian Police had declared Primeboy wanted following his failure to honour a police invitation successfully sent to him since the commencement of the investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of popular singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.

However, in a brief statement to Punch on Thursday, Primeboy’s lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, said the singer was demanding the removal of his name from the wanted list, amongst other prayers.

The suit was filed before the Federal High Court, in the Ikoyi area of the state.

“Primeboy has sued the police via an originating motion filed before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos on October 11.

“He prayed to the court for a couple of reliefs, some of which included a declaration that the special police gazette bulletin issued by the office of the IGP declaring Primeboy wanted was a contravention of Primeboy’s right to respect for the dignity of his human person. Primeboy also prayed the court to delist his name from the wanted list amongst other prayers,” the statement read.

Following Mohbad’s death, Primeboy has found himself at the epic centre of the ensuing controversy.

He also surrendered himself to the police barely 24 hours after he was declared wanted.

Mohbad died on September 12 2023 at the age of 27, with circumstances surrounding his death sparking controversies on social media.

Ballon d’Or 2024: Lionel Messi Names Shock Candidate That Deserves To Win Award

Lionel Messi, the world-famous Argentina captain, has said his team-mate Lautaro Martinez deserves this year’s Ballon d’Or more than any other player.

Martinez is among the 30 nominees for the prize alongside Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Rodri and Dani Carvajal.

With the ceremony only 12 days away, Messi has shared his thoughts on who will replace him as the winner.

The Inter Miami superstar, who claimed a record-breaking eighth Ballon d’Or last year, won’t be defending his title this year.

Instead, Messi has backed Martinez, who finished 21st and 20th in the Ballon d’Or rankings in 2021 and 2023.

The 27-year-old scored 27 times and provided seven assists in 44 games across all competitions last season, which included 24 goals and six assists in the Serie A as Inter Milan won the Scudetto.

He also scored one and turned provider into another in Nerazzuri’s successful Supercoppa Italiana run.

“He had a spectacular year, he scored in the final, he was the top scorer in the Copa America.

“He deserves the Ballon d’Or more than anyone else,” Messi said via Goal.
