Despite facing imminent sack threats after a dismal league finish, his heroic FA Cup triumph against Manchester City turned the tide. Critics are divided over the move, citing the short extension as a cautious nod rather than a resounding endorsement of his tenure.

Kevin De Bruyne stormed out of an interview after Belgium's shocking 1-0 Euro 2024 defeat to Slovakia, refusing to answer a question in English. The Manchester City star struggled to make his usual impact as Slovakia capitalized on a mistake by his teammate Jeremy Doku for the game's only goal. Romelu Lukaku's missed chances compounded Belgium's woes, leaving them needing victories against Romania and Ukraine to progress.

De Bruyne, visibly dejected, was briefly stopped by reporters but walked away when asked to respond in English. His reaction was surprising, given his fluency in the language after years at Chelsea and Man City. Despite the disappointment, De Bruyne shared a touching moment post-match, consoling his tearful children in front of the fans.

What does the captain’s reaction reveal about the team's morale?

I personally believe Foreign coaches are hired to win, not to build. Finidi George is a builder, but Nigeria, as impatient as Chelsea, hired him amidst the World Cup qualification chaos.

This decision by the NFF was disastrously wrong. Jose Peseiro could have secured our World Cup spot with ease. Finidi's experiments were a grave mistake; imagine Don Ancelotti pulling a Finidi in the UCL against Manchester City—he'd be fired immediately. Nigerians must cut the emotional and patriotic nonsense.

Finidi needs to deliver results now, but unfortunately, he isn't the quick fix we desperately need.

Why did the NFF make the catastrophic mistake of hiring a builder like Finidi George during the critical World Cup qualification journey?

With Erik ten Hag poised to sign a new two-year extension, how high can Manchester United soar under his dynamic leadership?

Yet, following an FA Cup victory over Manchester City, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford have decided to back Ten Hag, even discussing a contract extension.

Is Ten Hag truly the man to restore Manchester United’s glory, or is the club doomed to more mediocrity?
