MAN UTD announce Jose Mourinho replacement


Dec 18, 2018 6:00 PM

According to Skysports, Manchester United are set to appoint former midfielder Michael Carrick as a temporary replacement for the sacked Jose Mourinho until the end of the season. The Club are planning to announce a caretaker manager within the next 48 hours – this will be an external appointment. Michael Carrick and Kieron McKenna will take training for the next couple of days.

Image result for Mourinho

A poor start to the Premier League season has seen United slip 19 points behind the leaders, Liverpool, and fall off the pace in the hunt for a top-four place. They have won only once in six league matches, drawing during that sequence with struggling Southampton and Crystal Palace.The club issued a statement on Tuesday morning which read: “Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect. “The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future. A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager. “

Image result for Mourinho

Relations between the manager and the executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, also seemed strained after the club did not sign a central defender this summer. The club concluded that of the players in that position targeted by Mourinho whom they could potentially land, none was an upgrade on the existing squad. A sense of disunity at United was encapsulated when Mourinho stripped Pogba of the vice-captaincy before a Carabao Cup defeat by Derby County and confronted him at training the following morning. The manager has criticised his players’ “mental approach”, attitude and quality. Mourinho has seemed less than happy since the buildup to the season, when he described preparations as “very bad” because many of his senior players were resting after the World Cup.

Image result for Mourinho

The manager demanded “respect, respect, respect” for his three Premier League titles following United’s 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham in late August but will not get a chance to add a fourth at Old Trafford. In two full seasons at Old Trafford, Mourinho won the Europa League and League Cup (2016-17) before finishing second in the Premier League last season and reaching the FA Cup final. In that period since replacing Louis van Gaal, United’s spending stands at £364.3m on eight buys. Zinedine Zidane, available following his surprise decision to resign his position at Real Madrid following their Champions League success over Liverpool in May, has been linked with the United job.

[U.S E-NEWS] Drake Brings Out Travis Scott & Shiggy In New York City


Drake had a couple more surprise guests for those in attendance Tuesday night at the Barclays Center for the latest stop in his “Aubrey And The Three Migos” tour. Just like he did in Toronto, the 6 God decided to bring out Travis Scott to perform their new collab “Sicko Mode,” off LaFlame’s Astroworld album, and the crowd went absolutely bonkers for Travis’ surprise appearance, but that’s not all he performed. In addition to performing “Sicko Mode,” Travis also went ahead and performed his hit single “Goosebumps” as well.

However, Travis wasn’t the only surprise of the night. During the performance of his hit song “In My Feelings,” Drake decided to bring out IG star Shiggy, who’s responsible for originating the #InMyFeelings dance craze that went so viral a couple weeks back.

Drizzy also took time out his night to give little Sofia from Chicago a shoutout & love for her receiving her new heart. “God the other day blessed her with a new heart. So Sofia if you get this clip out to you, I love you and I’m happy for you that’s right.”

Check out the fan-captured footage from Tuesday night’s performances (below).

[U.S E-NEWS] Tay-K Posts Pic From Jail Cell After Just Being Charged With Felony For Having Phone


It was just a couple weeks ago that reports surfaced that Tay-K was hit with another felony charge after guards allegedly caught him trying to hide a cellphone. The guard allegedly caught the rapper trying to tuck his phone inside of his underwear. After it was discovered, the rapper tried to throw it in the toilet and then got into an altercation with another inmate, before eventually being charged with a third degree felony charge of possessing a prohibited item inside a correctional.

Well it appears Tay-K isn’t bothered by the charge because he just posted a photo from inside the jail cell on both his Instagram and Twitter accounts Tuesday afternoon. He left the caption “Live From the Gates of Hell #FreeMe,” while sitting on the floor and pointing his hands as if he was holding a pair of guns at the camera. I’m gonna go a whim and say it’s probably not the smartest thing for him to do, especially after just being caught with a phone a couple weeks ago.

This photo randomly surfaces just days after finding out that one of his alleged accomplices has agreed to testify against him in court, which doesn’t look good for Tay-K.

Check out Tay-K’s rather shocking and surprising photo (below).

[U.S E-NEWS] Drake Livestreamed His Concert For Sick Girl In Hospital Unable To Attend


Hate him or love him, you can’t deny the fact that Drake is a pretty damn good guy. Whether it’s giving away a million dollars like he did with “God’s Plan” video or making the dreams come true for young kids, the 6 God understand that his real gift is bigger than music and its giving back to the community and those less fortunate. Hell, just last week, Drizzy cancelled a concert in order to go say hi and make the dreams come true for a sick little girl who needed a heart transplant at a Chicago hospital. The heartwarming story made headlines all over the country and ultimately worked in Sofia’s favor as she was informed on Monday that she’s now indeed getting that new heart.

Well currently now in NYC for his 7-night run, Drake is reportedly about go see another sick girl at Mount Sinai’s hospital on Wednesday. Drizzy’s fan page, WordonRd, first reported the news on their twitter page, before the 6 God went ahead and said hi to the girl, named Kristin, during Monday’s night’s concert. “Kristin I love you. I’ll see you on Wednesday” he said.

It was also reported that Drake set up a live feed of the concert in Kristin’s room at the hospital because they wouldn’t clear her to go to the show. There’s no info yet as for how old Kristin is or why she’s in the hospital, but it’s awesome to see Drake doing this more often.

Check out the tweets & footage (below). We’ll continue to keep you posted moving forward. Respect to Champagne Papi.

[U.S E-NEWS] Schoolboy Q Spotted Back In The Studio; Trying To Get Fans “Hyped” For His Album


It’s been a hot minute since we last heard any new music from Schoolboy Q. In fact, with exception to some features, the last time the TDE rapper hit us with his some music of his own was back in 2016 with the release his Blank Face LP, but that looks to be changing here soon. Last month, Top Dawg revealed that Q’s album was about 90-95% done, and now Q is dropping hints that we’re getting close too.

Last week, Schoolboy Q retuned to Instagram with his first post after wiping his page clean, leaving a photo of him working in the lab, and now he’s just done it again. On Monday night, Q shared another photo of him in the lab, this time admitting in the caption that he wanted to hype fans up with some “cool caption” but said fuck it in true Q fashion.

“Was tHinkin of sum corny as caption 2 write 2 get y’all Hyped about tHe album… so fuck It. THis niggaH took da pic braH @xonie_,” he captioned the photo.

We’ll have to wait and find out the details on the album, but all signs are pointing that it’s coming soon.

Check out the photo (below) and we’ll continue to keep you posted moving forward. Who’s excited to hear new Q?

[U.S E-NEWS] Someone Threw A Bible At Lil Uzi Vert


Uzi’s fans are concerned about the rapper’s dance with the devil.

Why Does Everyone Think Lil Uzi Vert Is The Devil?, a question that remains following a clip that shows a fan throwing a bible on stage as the rapper performs his top ten hit “XO Tour Llif3.”

https://twitter.com/TweetECR/status/1033731510581510145

That’s right, in what was either a perfectly executed joke or a failed exorcism, one fan felt the need to bring Christian scripture to Uzi’s show at the Xfinity Theater in Hartford, Connecticut and get it into the rapper’s hands by any means possible. Seemingly entertained by the gesture, Uzi smiled, picked up the book and flipped through it as he performed. A true satanist probably would have ripped up or burned the copy on the spot, so it seems that Uzi’s soul could be saved after all. Watch it happen above.

Last we heard, Lil Uzi Vert was preparing to release his Eternal Atake album, which he announced with some imagery inspired by the Heaven’s Gate Cult, something that has only deepened the strange conspiracies around his name — inspiring us to investigate in yet another deep dive on Uzi’s curious persona.

Outside of opening the gates of hell, Uzi has been busting some dance moves and previewing some music. Check out a clip of his new song “Trappin’ This Way.”

[U.S E-NEWS] Kanye West Calls “Akira” His “Biggest Creative Inspiration”


Today, Kanye West has professed his utter adoration for “Akira.” Despite professing a public love of pornography, Ye is not, in fact, talking about Asa Akira. Rather, he’s paying homage to the anime masterpiece created by Katsuhiro Otomo. Taking to Twitter to express his appreciation, Ye uploaded a picture of the visionary, writing “Katsuhiro Otomo the creator of Akira. This movie is my biggest creative inspiration.” While Ye does indeed seem prone to hyperbole, he backs up his claims with an elaboration.

“Every stage show I’ve ever worked on Every video not just Stronger every product even when I was in the hospital I would think oh shit this is like Akira,” writes Yeezy, evoking memories of a Graduation classic. Fans may recall the anime inspired artwork surrounding Yeezy’s third album, adding validity to his claims. “This is not only the greatest animation achievement in history the subject matter is so relevant to the current state of the world,” continues Kanye, paying homage to the film’s subject matter and artistic direction.

It’s also telling of Kanye’s worldview. In the 1988 film, a nuclear induced WWIII gives way to a government conspiracy, putting forth politicians and military minds against a supernaturally charged protagonist.

[U.S E-NEWS] Jorja Smith Covers V Magazine


Jorja Smith will grace the cover of V Magazine’s September issue. The Walsall singer has shared some images from her upcoming cover story, which bears the title Hello World, Meet Jorja Smith. The photos feature Jorja wearing some elegant jewelry, as well as a mask that would make Yeezus-era Kanye West proud. According to photographer Sølve Sundsbø, the rope-like necklace seen on the cover is designed by “Contemporary Roman High Jeweler” BVLGARI. The issue will hit newsstands August 30th.

https://instagram.com/p/Bm_DObrAVdV/

The V Magazine cover story follows Jorja’s feature in Playboy in June, where she spoke of her hopes to transcend genre. “People say I’m pop or soul. I don’t even know,” she said. “I just think it’s me. When you listen, I hope you realize my voice is its own genre.”

Earlier this summer, Jorja released her debut album Lost & Found. Shortly after the release, she announced a tour in support of the album beginning in November.

[U.S E-NEWS] Blac Youngsta’s “Fu*ck Everybody 2” Gets A Release Date & Cover


Blac Youngsta is a man who wears many hats. Capable of turning from lovable scamp to hostile, embittered gangsta, Youngsta has continuously towed the line with his dual musical identities. While hit single “Booty” proved Youngsta could let his guard down on wax, it would appear he’s been harboring some resentment for some time now. After all, the rapper is no stranger to airing his grievances, as seen by his scathing Young Dolph diss tracks and generally menacing demeanour. As such, Youngsta stands among the game’s most enigmatic figures, liable to make you laugh one minute and come out swinging the next.

Last year around this time, Youngsta seemed poised to deliver his Fuck Everybody 2 mixtape. However, the rapper clearly had a change of heart, opting to deliver his 223 album instead. Now, it seems as if the Memphis rapper is returning to the fold sooner rather than later. Taking to Instagram, Youngsta has announced his new project will be arriving on August 31st. He accompanied the announcement with some appropriate album artwork, birds proudly flipped.

Peep the cover below, and sound off. Are ya’ll checking for new music from Blac Youngsta?

[U.S E-NEWS] The Weeknd Rekindles with Old Flame Bella Hadid


The Weeknd, known for his never-ending sense of ennui, has found a new reason to shake off the blues. Though a much publicized relationship with Bella Hadid has been tumultuous to say the least, it would appear that the on-again off-again pair have once again found common ground. It’s unclear what may have prompted such an epiphany; it’s sometimes easy to forget that these celebrities have lives outside the snapshots. Yet pictures do speak volumes, and the latest batch from TMZ’s ubiquitous network of eyes finds the rekindled couple taking their love to the streets.

Not only have the pair taken to the streets of Los Angeles in tandem, but they even coordinated their outfits, donning a pair of matching tracksuits. The picture of millennial companionship, to be sure. Though the image of their kiss seems to have been taken while magnified by two hundred, it does confirm that the pair are, at the very least, on speaking terms. For those keeping score, one has to wonder if Weeknd’s return to the dating game will bleed into his music.

Perhaps My Dear Melancholy will evolve into its final form: My Beloved Complacency. Only time will tell. In the meantime, peep TMZ’s stargazing flicks here.

[U.S E-NEWS] Danny Brown Taps JPEGMAFIA For His “Almost Done” Album


Those in the know value the artistry of Danny Brown. With influences drawing from Radiohead & Mount Eerie to the production of Alchemist, Brown has marched to the beat of his own drum since his informal introduction on XXX. Since then, the uniquely-voiced Detroit rapper has been carving out a lane as one of hip-hop’s prominent mad-scientists. Now, set to follow-up 2016’s slept on Atrocity Exhibition, Danny Brown has taken to Instagram to deliver an update on the enigmatic project.

Providing a picture of one of the album’s contributors, Brown has revealed he’ll be linking up with JPEGMAFIA for at least one endeavour. JPEG was previously spotted on Denzel Curry’s “Vengeance,” which found him holding it down for the track’s middle verse. Hopefully he’ll bring the same energy to Danny’s album, and given the talent involved, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear something more avant-garde than traditionalists might be used to.

Though the teaser is somewhat ambiguous, it does seem likely that we’ll be seeing Danny drop before year’s end. “Danny album almost done!!!!!!!!!” he writes, leaving us all hopeful that his words don’t mirror Nas’ once-unfulfilled promise. Either way, there’s nothing wrong with a new Danny Brown album. Let us all wait patiently.

[U.S E-NEWS] Demi Lovato’s Drug Dealer Finally Speaks: “She Knew What She Was Taking”


Brandon Johnson, the guy who is said to have been with Demi Lovato before her infamous overdose finally commented on the singer’s drug use. Ultimately, he blames the star for her hospitalization.

According to Johnson, their relationship began as a “flirty friendship,” which later became “sexual.” Other sources close to Demi deny the sexual nature of the relationship. Johnson said Demi would have him come over “to kick it.” He also added that this was the type of hangout the singer had in mind when she contacted the pusher around 4 am the day she overdosed.

When he was asked if Demi was aware of the kind of drug she was consuming, Brandon Johnson responded in a slightly defensive manner.

“A hundred percent she knew what she was taking. I had disclosed to her that these are not, you know, pharmaceutical. They’re much stronger. She understood fully… It was unfortunate what happened. For people to think that there was any misconception on my behalf is absolutely ridiculous.”

Although he said that Demi “knew what she was taking,” he revealed that he actually wasn’t completely aware of the drug’s composition himself. The pusher is known to cop his drugs in Mexico, which often includes batches that are laced with fentanyl.

“I’m not sure what is mixed in the pills.

Later, he affirmed to have learned something from the incident.

“It’d definitely a wakeup call for her obviously, but it opened my eyes too.”

[U.S E-NEWS] Young Thug Covers Squad’s Bail & Legal Fees After Weapons Charge


Artists can attest that dropping an album is an exhilarating process. Naturally, an album release party can be appropriately raucous, especially those coming from the hip-hop realm. Young Thug, who recently dropped off Slime Language a few Fridays ago, found himself and his crew slapped with a few weapons charges at his album release party; one of his squad was charged with possession of an AK-47, while the remaining four were caught packing less heavy artillery. In any case, TMZ has clarified some of the fallout, proving that Thugger is indeed worthy of the King Slime moniker.

Rap entourages have a self-sustaining ecosystem; the top of the crop makes sure the homies are never missing meals, not unlike the dynamic between shark and remora. The moment of noble leadership came in the form of several cashed cheques. According to TMZ, Thug covered both bail and legal fees of all five charged homies, costing him $50k for the AK-toter and $35k for the remaining four. Not only that, but Thug made sure to have a team of lawyers lined up and ready to hold it down; not only that, but Thug’s chosen lawyers hardly come cheap, going in at $7k a pop.

Clearly, Thug takes care of his own. It’s difficult to say how this one will play out, but we’ll be sure to keep a watchful eye on the process.

[U.S E-NEWS] Travis Scott Is Mind Blown By David Blaine’s Card Trick: Watch


Do you remember that time David Blaine shocked Kanye West, Will Smith, Jada Pinket-Smith, Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston, and Woody Harrelson when he put an ice pick through his hand? How about the time that David Blaine freaked out Drake, Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Dave Chappelle with a frog trick? It appears Blaine really does enjoy making celebrities freak out, because he brought his mind-blowing magic to the Cactus Jack offices.

Travis Scott and a few of his Cactus Jack affiliates were mesmerized by Blaine, who performed a card trick that would seem impossible. The crew stands over a table that has a deck of cards sprawled out. The beginning of the trick is not shown, but it appears Blaine spread the cards out on the table, with the majority of them facing down. Only a few cards sat face up on the table. Blaine instructs one of the onlookers to read out the numbers on a driver’s license. The onlooker participates, and begins to read out the numbers, which happen to exactly match the few cards that are turned over. Travis Scott and his crew immediately begin to exclaim “No, No Way,” as each number is read out to match the overturned cards. “WHAT!?” yells Scott, before deciding to take the cards for himself.

[U.S E-NEWS] Swae Lee Gets His Mouth Busted Open When Fan Throws Cell Phone At Him On Stage


Wiz Khalifa and Rae Sremmurd’s Dazed & Blazed Tour stopped at the Starplex Pavilion in Dallas this weekend, and things didn’t end very well for Swae Lee. The young dread head was enjoying his time on stage, giving the crowd his signature energy, before he was struck in the face. Apparently, a young girl wanted Swae Lee to take a picture with her phone, but she overthrew the device. Her phone hit Lee in the mouth, busting open his lip and causing a bloody mess. The girl must have had her ID in her phone case, because after being hit in the face, Lee took the ID and began to call out the culprit.

Lee is livid as he rants on stage, promising to sue whoever threw the phone. His bandmate, Slim Jxmmi, tries to drag Lee off stage, but the angry young rapper escapes easily. He continued to yell into the audience, and even asked the cameramen to zoom in on his lip to show the injury to the audience.

After his microphone was cut off, Lee stormed off stage and took to Twitter to reveal he may have to take time off the tour. “My lip is fucked up this dumb ass girl through her phone on stage like a baseball y’all gotta have more common sense than that my shit is fucked might miss a few days of tour,” he tweeted.

[U.S E-NEWS] Drake Admits He Cancelled A Concert To See 11-Year-Old Heart Patient


All 11-year-old Sofia Sanchez wanted for her birthday was to meet the Drake. The adorable young girl has been confined to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, as she recovers from one heart surgery while waiting for a new heart altogether. Sanchez made an In My Feelings Challenge video, where she does the viral dance after hopping out of her wheelchair instead of out of a car, and it got Drake’s attention. After seeing the video, and Sanchez’s request that he come to visit her for her birthday, Drizzy pulled up.

A video of the moment Drake walks into Sanchez’s room shows just how excited the young girl was at Drizzy’s arrival. As soon as he peels the curtains back, Sanchez screams as if she just won the lottery. The excited young girl cannot believe her eyes, and is stunned into a moment of paralyzation as Drake asks her for a hug. “I’m so happy you came,” squeals Sanchez in the most adorable voice ever. “I kinda canceled a concert so I could come and see you, to be honest with you,” admits Drake as he sits down. Sanchez’s face is priceless as she takes in the news that Drizzy put her above his own concert.
