Man United selling Pogba is "no big deal" as his days at the club are numbered

- Red Devils legend Roy Keane says selling Pogba in January will not be a big deal for the club

- The Frenchman was an unused substitute for United in their away defeat to Liverpool at Anfield

- He is yet to start any game for United since this month started a few weeks back

Manchester United legend Roy Keane believes selling Paul Pogba would be the best option for the club.

The World Cup winning midfielder was an unused substitute in Red Devils' 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, December 16.

SunSport also reported that the Frenchman has not started a Premier League game for the club since December 1st owing to the numerous issues he has with his manager.

He also failed to make an impact in their slim defeat to Valencia in their last group game in the Champions last week.

However, Red Devils' former midfielder who scored 33 goals in 323 appearances for his club during his 12 year reign claims Pogba's days at Old Trafford are numbered.

Speaking on Super Sunday, the Irishman said: "I think there are one or two problems with players, obviously not on top form. "And the obvious one being Pogba.

"If he's sitting on the bench today and not getting on then you're thinking his days must be numbered.

"I don't think they'll do anything with Pogba in January but come the summer you move him on and it's no big deal, he's left Manchester United before."

United fans on Twitter appeared to agree with Keane, with one stating: "Why wait till then. Get him out in January."

Another added: "They could easily get 100+ million for him then use that to buy some players who actually want to play for the club."

The former Sunderland and Aston Villa manager said before the match kicked off that United stars were looking "disinterested" and he claimed Mourinho "doesn't trust his players."

Fellow pundit and Liverpool legend Graeme Souness also took the chance dig out the £89million midfielder.

He said: "For me, he's not improved since he came to England.

"He's not got any better. I have sympathy with the manager, I think he's got a hell of a job to sort him out.

"I'm not sure that can be done and that's why he stays on the bench. Pogba must be sitting there, thinking 'surely I'm better than Fellaini, surely I'm better than Matic.'"

It is reported that United are prepared to sell Pogba back to Juventus after they paid a record fee for him.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
