In addition, 26-year-old Pogba has already declared his interest in playing under compatriot Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, who he described as “somebody who brings something few others can to the pitch”.

Previously, SunSport reported that Pogba is seeking an improved new salary of about £500,000 weekly to remain at Old Trafford.

On the other hand, Zidane is keen on rebuilding the Los Blancos squad at the end of the campaign, no thanks to their below-the-par performance this term.

Equally, De Gea, who has repeatedly refused signing a new deal is also on the radar of Read Madrid alongside the duo of Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.

Interestingly, the new deal would have made the Spanish goalkeeper United’s highest paid player.

And with De Gea heading into the final leg of his contract next season, the 28-year-old can pen a pre-contract with any of his suitors in January.

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.

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.

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
