Man United and Liverpool batte for top La Liga star ahead of summer transfers

- Man United and Liverpool are interested in the signing of Isco from Read Madrid at the end of the season

- The Spaniard has been heavily linked with a switch to the Premier League in recent time

- Isco is struggling for game time at Los Blanocs and was initially linked with Chelsea

Manchester United are set to battle rivals, Liverpool, for the signature of Real Madrid star, Isco, should the La Liga giants decide to offload the midfielder in the summer.

Isco has in the past been tipped for a move to the Premier League, with links to Chelsea and Arsenal.

According to a UK Metro report, Madrid are keen to do an overhaul of their squad in the summer in an effort aimed at staying at par with Barcelona.

The recent slump in form among Madrid stars has seen the club's silverware hopes dwindle.

As such, the Santiago Bernabeu outfit is expected to make new major signings at the end of the season to bolster their squad.

The move could see top stars including Isco and Gareth Bale offloaded, with the duo currently linked with Premier League moves.

Even with a running contract at Madrid that is expected to expire in 2022, Isco has made just 16 appearances in La Liga, with 11 of those coming on as a substitute.

Despite being a regular squad member during Zinedine Zidane's tenure as manager, the 26-year-old has found it hard to break into Santiago Solari's team.

Reports filtering through Spain now contend Liverpool and United are keenly monitoring Isco's situation at the club.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Real Madrid playmaker Isco is not ready to leave the club to join Chelsea in January despite falling out-of-favour with Santiago Solari.

The Spain international has started just once under the Argentine manager and was booed by fans during Los Blancos Champions League 3-0 loss to CSKA Moscow.

But the former Malaga player has insisted he will not be leaving the Bernabeu before the summer and added he will fight his way back into the starting XI.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
