Manchester United supporters plan 'Ed Out' banner for match at Turf Moor - reports


A banner calling for the exit of Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will be flown over Turf Moor next month, according to multiple reports.
Man United fans have reportedly hired a plane to fly the banner reading "Ed Out - LUHG" (Love United, Hate Glazer) on Sept. 2 before their match against Burnley in protest of Woodward's leadership and of the club's owners the Glazer family.
Supporters had planned to have the banner flown over Old Trafford for Monday's match against Tottenham, according to the reports, but that idea was scrapped because of light restrictions for the 8 p.m. kickoff time in Manchester.
During David Moyes' time in charge at United, supporters famously commissioned a banner in March of 2014 that read: "Wrong One - Moyes Out."
The reports come on the heels of United's embarrassing loss to Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday and Woodward's failure to deliver a centre-back for Mourinho during the summer transfer window.
The start to United's season has been marred by friction between manager Jose Mourinho and midfielder Paul Pogba and has seen former players including Gary Neville suggest that Woodward had been "half-hearted" in his support of the Portuguese boss.
United missed out on summer targets Harry Maguire and Toby Alderweireld and saw a suspect defence exposed in the loss to Brighton.
Neville was also critical of Woodward's behaviour after the 3-2 defeat at the Amex Stadium on Sunday. He was seen grimacing at full-time and Neville says it looks, from the outside at least, that there is "angst" between Mourinho and the board.
"The CEO sat in his spot for two minutes after the game on Sunday in what I can only describe as something I don't want to see the CEO of Manchester United do," Neville added. "At the end of the game, stand up, go and shake the opposition CEO's hand, tell him well done and that you'll see him later in the season, smile and be bigger than anything.
"All I could see was a show of frustration, or something that could also be interpreted as another show of dissent. At the moment there is definitely angst between the club and Jose."

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko Haram have affected almost 15 milli

Cardi B explains why she 'drugged and robbed' men

Image
Cardi B has defended herself after a video resurfaced of her saying she drugged and robbed men who wanted to have sex with her while she worked as a stripper before finding fame. The rapper faced criticism after the three-year-old Instagram live video recirculated on social media. "Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive," she wrote on Tuesday. "I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world." The original video was made as her career was starting to take off and was her response to someone who said she didn't deserve success because she hadn't put in any work. "Nothing was handed to me. Nothing," she said in the video, before going on to reveal that she would invite men to a hotel before drugging and robbing them. In response to the furore, she wrote on Instagram that she had been talking "about things in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living&quo

GameStop To Introduce Installment Payment Plans for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Preparing for the release of the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, GameStop is now preparing to launch an installment payment plan program for the next-gen consoles. Revealed in a series of internal documents, the American video game, consumer electronics and gaming merchandise retailer is looking to help offer an alternative way to own the systems. GameStop is currently looking into installment plans, direct layaway and rent-to-own plans. Installment plans would be offered through third-party companies like Quadpay and Klarna, requiring customers to split their purchase into four payments over six weeks with no interest. Layaway would see customers pay small installments over a certain period of time to clear the full payment before they receive their consoles. While the rent-to-own plans would let customers rent the new consoles for an upfront fee, with the rest of the cost paid over a 12 month period. Customers can then fully pay off the cost to own a console or retu
