At the last count, Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku is another United star considering his future at the Theater of Dreams, even as the Red Devils are set to lose Ander Herrera, who reportedly signed a pre-contract with PSG.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?
