Pogba makes big decision about his future at Man United after Mourinho's sacking

- Paul Pogba will not leave Old Trafford in January after Mourinho was sacked

- The French midfielder was lining up a loan move when the January window opens

- The 25-year-old and Mourinho were at loggerheads over several disagreements

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has changed plans about leaving Old Trafford after Jose Mourinho's sacking.

The France international, who was signed for a club record fee of £89million was considering a loan move out of United in the January transfer window.

It is understood that the Frenchman has instructed his agent Mino Raiola to find him a new club in the summer if Mourinho was still in charge.

The 25-year-old has been dropped in the last three Premier League games including the 3-1 bashing at the hands of their bitter rival Liverpool.

It was the final straw for Pogba who was hardly in speaking terms with Mourinho since he beginning of the summer.

Pogba usually criticized Mourinho's defensive tactics and also felt he was being made the scapegoat for everything that was going wrong.

The Portuguese gaffer also called him a virus affecting other players after United's 2-2 draw at Southampton.

Pogba left United for Juventus in 2012 over a contract dispute between his agent and former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

But after his successful spell with Juventus where he won four Serie A titles, he returned to Old Trafford after much persuasion from Mourinho.

Pogba finished his first season lifting the Europa League title with the Red Devils where he was among the scorers in the 2-0 Europa League final win over Ajax.

But both manager and player's relationship began to have cracks in January when Pogba was substituted in the away defeat to Tottenham for failing to adhere to instructions.

He was then dropped in the following match against Huddersfield and was also subbed during the defeat at Newcastle.

Pogba was upset after Mourinho said it was time he started playing like that for United following his World Cup exploits with France.

Thereafter, Pogba was handed the captain's arm-band in their first Premier League win against Leicester City at Old Trafford.

But the Frenchman hinted at the cracks in his relationship with Mourinho when he said: “There are things, and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined,"

The following month Mourinho authoritatively said Pogba will never captain the club again.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that reported that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reacted negatively to the sacking of their manager Jose Mourinho.

The 25-year-old posted an image of himself on his Instagram and Twitter accounts with a smug look on his face with a description saying: Caption this!

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
