Mourinho proud of Europa League success

Jose Mourinho ended his first season in charge of Manchester United by winning the UEFA Europa League final at the Friends Arena in Stockholm and claiming his third trophy at the club.

Here are the main points from his post-match interviews with MUTV and BT Sport...

OVERALL THOUGHTS

"My thoughts are obviously with the victims of the tragedy in Manchester and with the families. The tragedy is in my mind. Maybe this victory will bring some happiness to Manchester, I don't know. I would obviously, me and everyone else, we would change this trophy for the people that lost their lives, that's obvious. But if I focus on the football side, I am really proud."

TEAM PERFORMANCE

"The team was fantastic from the first minute to the last minute. It was a fantastic collective performance, there were very good individual performances and we had total control of the game.

We always thought that we could win the Europa League and we are very happy. We played intelligently, we did it in a comfortable way. We were much stronger than them.

If you are dominant in the air you go long. There are lots of poets in football but poets don't win many trophies. We knew where we were better than Ajax and we exploited their weaknesses."

Davido & Iceprince’s Fight: See Full Details Of What Really Happened In Warri Last Night

Image
Davido and Iceprince ‘Last night, an event (Delta Alive) organised by Shina Peller (owner of Quilox night club) went down in Warri. The show had Davido, Lil Kesh, Ice Prince, CDQ and others as headliners. According to an inside source, trouble started from the airport when Davido was picked up in a G-Wagon while Ice Prince was picked up with a saloon car. The gesture infuriated Ice Prince and he let the organisers know he wasn’t pleased. Davido got to hear of his complains and was angry too. Then the issue escalated during the concert when Ice Prince was made to perform before Lil Kesh, a move that’s seen as an insult to the bigger artiste. Ice Prince made it an issue back stage and Davido who had been boiling from the car complaint and obviously a close friend of Lil Kesh jumped in defence of Kesh and things got messy. Our source said, ‘when they got back to the hotel, Davido was really pissed so much that he went to Ice Prince’s door and started shouting and banging on the door...

Report: Ahmed Musa 'agrees' to join Fenerbache

Image
Ahmed Musa has reportedly agreed in principle to sign a deal with Fenerbahce and is expected to complete a £17.4m move from Leicester to the Turkish club. Fernabache are believed to have started negotiations with Leicester over a potential deal,  according to Turkish newspaper Gunes . The striker is said to have given a green light to the deal after being asked if he would be happy to join Fenerbahçe, who finished third in the Super Lig last season. If he moves to the Turkish side, it would bring to an end an underwhelming stint at Leicester after struggling to make an impact following a £15million move from CSKA Moscow last summer. The 24-year-old scored just four goals in 31 appearances for Leicester City last season. Two of the goals came in the FA Cup win against Everton. Musa played just 11 mins in the Foxes last seven Premier League games of the season.

Apostle Suleman opens up on new allegations by Stephanie Otobo

Image
Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has vowed not to allow allegations made against him by his alleged lover, Miss Stephanie Otobo, go unchallenged. Apostle Suleman, who spoke to The Sun through his Media Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, dared Otobo to prove all her allegations in court. He said: “It is not for her to probe the wisdom of the mother in going to beg for forgiveness. The mother has done what she felt was right and we have responded to the mother’s appeal for forgiveness. “Can’t you see the contradiction in the claim of being poisoned by Apostle? First, she claimed that the poison was given to her by Apostle in a hotel. Next she said it was in a dream. Perhaps, she would come up with another bizarre tale. Seriously, even my three -year- old daughter can do better”. On Otobo’s claims that if Apostle Suleman presents his international passport, it will reveal that both of them travelled together on a certain day t...
