David de Gea to sign £114MILLION, six-year Man United deal and says he wants to take over as captain

David de Gea has committed his long-term future to Manchester United with a new contract
David de Gea wants to be Manchester United captain after committing his long-term future to the club.

De Gea will sign a new £375,000-a-week contract until 2025 when United return from their pre-season tour, ending speculation that he could leave Old Trafford as a free agent next summer.
We have to improve a lot on this. We are working really hard this pre-season, and hopefully we can show it in the first game against Chelsea that we have improved a lot from last season.'

United have only made two new signings, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Dan James, as the transfer deadline looms on August 8.

However, both players have made a good impression on tour with Wan-Bissaka in particular demonstrating why Solskjaer was so keen to bring him in as his first-choice right-back.

De Gea said: 'He's shown in the last two or three games that he has pace, good with the ball, great defender, so he's a good signing for us.'

But after United won their first three games on tour against Perth Glory, Leeds United and Inter Milan ahead of Thursday's International Champions Cup clash with Tottenham in Shanghai, confidence is high that they can be much stronger this season.

'We have to improve a lot,' added De Gea. 'We are Manchester United, we need to fight for trophies.

'When you put on this badge, that's what it means: fight for everything, give your best and bring the team again to the top.

'I think this pre-season we're trying to have more of the ball, to keep the ball, to build from the back and to keep control of the game – things we didn't have last season.
'I've been captain for some games and, of course, it is amazing to be captain of a club like Manchester United and defend this badge,' said De Gea before United left Singapore for Shanghai.

'It's amazing, so of course I'll be really, really happy to be captain. It's my ninth season and I feel like one of the most experienced players. I need to show that on the pitch and try to help the young guys know what Manchester United means and that's important.'

The 28-year-old admits that last season wasn't good enough for a club of United's stature as they missed out a place in the Champions League and failed to win a trophy.

De Gea was also guilty of some uncharacteristic errors towards the end of the campaign, bringing pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to drop his keeper.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
