Phil Jones has explained that Manchester United were a laughing stock under former manager Jose Mourinho who was fired in December 2018 for poor results.

Jones added that the Old Trafford club are now in their best form following their unbeaten run of games since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over from Mourinho.

Solskjaer has boosted the morale of all Manchester United players who remain unbeaten under him with their last game a win against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

England international Phil Jones has now explained how things have changed in the last few weeks under Solskjaer who is currently United boss on interim capacity.

"Everyone’s got to take us seriously now.

"We might have been a bit of a laughing stock at the beginning of the season, but we’re certainly not now.

''We’ve proven that in the last ten or twelve games. We’re improving, we’re still getting better,'' Jones explained according to the news by Manchester Evening.

The 26-year-old also responded to Manchester United's win against Fulham which sent the Red Devils to fourth position on the Premier League standings.

"It was tough for everyone involved. The club, the supporters, everyone. But it’s about becoming stronger and seeing that through.

''I’ve said it in the past, we’ve not achieved anything yet, we’re under no illusions but we’re heading in the right direction,'' he said.

Phil Jones and his teammates are now planning for their next game which will be in the Champions League against French club Paris-Saint-Germain.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Premier League giants Manchester United appointed Ole Gunnar Solskjær as their new manager until the end of the ongoing 2018/19 Premier League season.

The 45-year-old Norwegian football manager replaces former manager Jose Mourinho who was thrown out of the club because of poor results.

He was joined by Mike Phelan as first-team coach, together with Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna this season at Old Trafford.

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
