MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho signed Mohamed Salah for Chelsea in 2014 but then sold his two years later.

The Portuguese manager never saw the best of Salah who has gone on to become one of the best players in Europe.

Salah arrived at Chelsea for a fee £11m but made just 13 Premier League appearances during his tome at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho sent the Egyptian on loan to Roma where he made a big impact and eventually joined permanently.

Now in charge at Manchester United, Mourinho will lead his side out at Anfield against a fired up Salah and co. this afternoon (4pm).

Mourinho paid tribute to the winger ahead of the clash but claimed that he wasn’t mentally ready for the Premier League when he arrived from Basel.

“I think he’s developed incredibly well at every level,” said Mourinho.

“Physically, amazing development. He was a fast, fragile boy and now he’s a fast, strong man.

“He hadn’t psychologically adapted, coming direct from a small club in Switzerland [FC Basel] to a big club in England and the Premier League [Chelsea]. It was too much.

December 18, 2017: Empire is STILL one of our favorite shows on all of television. But we just got a report that the show is getting CANCELLED.

Not so much “cancelled” . . . but will be “ending.”

Here’s the little bit of tea that we were sent:

So, I heard through the grapevine that as of now, they are finishing up shooting the last episodes Empire. As in the show will be ending soon.

During the past few months, production and cast were frequenting a store that my relative works at and that’s who they heard it from.

Could this change in the future? Possibly, but as of now, it will be ending soon.

We’re hearing the same thing. According to HOLLYWOOD FOLK – Lee Daniels, the show’s producer, is WAY more interested in his new series STAR than in Empire.

We’re told that Lee planned on “leaving” Empire after this season and that many thought the show couldn’t survive without him.

There’s a very interesting story blowing up online now about Nigerian singer, Runtown.LIB was said to have gotten the scoop a few days back via an anonymous email. A few hours before the drama blew up online this morning,we got another email that reads, ‘Linda; you want to pretend as if you didn’t hear that London promoter BadGuyToba and his fiancée who had a lavish proposal in September have split for her allegedly sleeping with Runtown recently, do your investigations.


This gist is all over Snapchat. He has deleted all pictures from IG and she too and gone private; also Davido and a friend confirmed it on Snapchat too and Toba has been giving hints and saying he will talk about it in due time and saying he has a son to take care off. Saying ‘hide your wife from Runtown’.
The story got a bit more interesting when screenshots of an alleged Davido Snapschat post got out. The Davido post reads, ‘Keep y’all wife’s away from Runtown oo lmao’.

Is it time for Ronda Rousey to retire from UFC? The 29 year old former champion was knocked out just 48 seconds into her first fight in 13 months, to bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes at a fight that took place last night in Las Vegas.


Ronda got the living daylight beaten out of her by Amanda, who relentlessly attacked, landing multiple shots without much defensive moves from Ronda. Ronda looked scared and the whole fight ended just 48 seconds into the first round of the fight. But even though she lost the fight, Ronda made $3million while Amanda got $200k



Ronda won twelve consecutive MMA fights, six in the UFC. She won eleven of those fights in the first round, nine of them by armbar submission, before finally suffering her first loss to Holly Holm in 2015. And now to Amanda.

As at March 2016, Rousey was ranked the #2 female bantamweight fighter in the world according to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and #3 by Sherdog.[

In May 2015, two magazines ranked Rousey as the most “dominant” active athlete.

In September 2015, voters in an online ESPN poll selected Rousey as the Best Female Athlete Ever. Rousey’s first feature film role was the 2014 film The Expendables 3. In 2015, she had roles in the films Furious 7 and Entourage.

People are now saying she should retire from fighting and face acting! See the fight below…

China’s Richest man says he is in search of an heir to his $12 billion empire as his 28 year old only son has refused to take over his business, saying he does not want to live a life like that of his father.

Wang Jianlin, founder and chairman of Dalian Wanda Group, said his only son, Wang Sicong, doesn’t want to take over his shopping centres, hotels, theme parks and sports clubs.



Speaking at an entrepreneural summit in China over the weekend, Wang said

‘I have asked my son about the succession plan, and he said he does not want to live a life like mine. Perhaps young people have their own quests and priorities. Probably it will be better to hand over to professional managers and have us sit on the board and see them run the company,’ Wang said.


According to South China Morning Post, Wang Sicong is a director at his father’s empire, with a 2 per cent stake. He founded Prometheus Capital in 2011 and has made investments in Invictus Gaming, Dining Concepts Holdings.

In May last year, Sicong made headline news after he bought two Apple Watches for his dog, called Wang Keke, who wears them both on his front legs. The pictures when shared online, caused an outcry from many Chinese.

Apple Watch sells between £820 and £1,300 in China. The son went to school in Britain and studied philosophy at the University College London. More than 80 per cent of Chinese heirs have shown no interest in inheriting their parents businesses, according to a survey by Shanghai Jiaotong University, covering 182 of the country’s top family-run companies.

According to the survey, some of them were backing off due to intense pressures, while others simply were pursuing other career interests, another study by an association of private enterprises in the mainland showed.

Late last night/early this morning, Nicki decided to drop off her own remix of Rae Sremmurd‘s (now) hit single, “Black Beatles,” which just reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 yesterday, thanks in no small part to the duo’s #mannequinchallenge that is taking over the internets

Go Down is one of those tracks that has gained a massive success online especially on Instagram. The go down challenge got people sending dance videos from all over the world with smashing dance moves. This paved the way for Julz the UK Afropop artist who delivered a product that seemed to bridge the gap between pop and Afro fusing the two genres together and possibly the reason for the warm reception of the song globally. Finally, after all the anticipation we get to lay our eyes on the official video to GO DOWN delivered with a twist not following traditional video themes. The video is set in London, shot and directed by label producer Ama Fru from Afru Music Entertainment. We do not seem to get enough of this video right until the end. You are most definitely not skipping this video in a hurry.
