Man United chiefs reveal ‘special gift’ for Solskjaer after PSG defeat in UCL

- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be named as Man United manager on a full-time basis

- Man United's Champions League win over PSG has sealed the job for the Norwegian

- Solskjaer held discussions with Man United chief Ed Woodward at the team hotel in Paris

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has moved a step closer to being named Manchester United manager on a permanent basis after PSG defeat in the Champions League.

Daily Mail claims the 46-year-old Solskjaer will be handed the managerial role at United on a full-time basis and the big question is when will the Norwegian be confirmed for the job.

The Red Devils massive Champions League result at Parc des Princes on Wednesday night sealed the job for Solskjaer, who has turned around the club’s fortune since replacing Jose Mourinho as interim manager mid-December.

Solskjaer and United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward held talks on Wednesday morning at the club’s hotel in Paris and also has private discussions with co-chairman Avram Glazer moments after the match.

Already, Solskjaer’s teammate Gary Neville hinted that the Norwegian tactician could be named during the forthcoming international break, but Red Devils chiefs insist they are not in hurry to make it public.

However, despite not making any statement while posing for selfies with fans at the airport in Paris, squad members are convinced Solskjaer will emerge permanent manager.

“I think it has been decided,” said striker Romelu Lukaku. “I think he is going to get it = he should get it. When we've won at Tottenham, Chelsea away, at Arsenal in the FA Cup, now this, what else does he have to do?”

At the last count, Solskjaer has guided United to 14 wins in 17 games since arriving on loan from Molde, with one defeat, as United reached the quarter-finals stage of the Champions League, FA Cup alongside a top four contender in the Premier League.

“I don't think I need to say much after all these results - it looks certain,” said defender Luke Shaw. “We all love Ole and we love the job he's done so far.

“We're enjoying everything that's going on at the moment and the results have shown that.”

Interestingly, United players could not stop chanting Solskjaer's name after the win in Paris, and the celebrations continued aboard the plane after allowing them to have a beer.

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
