Manchester United are working on identifying individuals who racially abused Paul Pogba online after the midfielder missed a penalty in Monday’s 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.<br>
<br>
Pogba won a late penalty but had his effort from the spot saved by Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio.<br>
<br>
The draw cost United top spot in the Premier League standings, leading to a handful of supporters racially abusing the Frenchman.<br>
<br>
“The individuals who expressed these views do not represent the values of our great club and it is encouraging to see the vast majority of our fans condemn this on social media also,” United said in a statement.<br>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Former media aide and activist,
Reno Omokri has taken to social media to mock Wole Soyinka, following the
closure of a venue he intended to use for a symposium in Lagos, yesterday.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Nobel Laureate, alongside
other notable Nigerians under the Coalition for Revolution (CORE) group, had
planned to discuss the challenges of insecurity in Nigeria using the theme
“<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>“Democracy, State Repression and the
State of insecurity in Nigeria”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However, the venue of the event
which was around the Oregun area of Lagos was sealed off by members of the
Nigeria Police Force. As a result, the press conference could not hold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In his reaction, Reno, who has
been particularly displeased by Wole Soyinka’s negative comments during the
Jonathan Administration, hit out at him, insisting that he brought it all on
himself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Reno wrote, “Wole Soyinka
co-created the Frankenstein monster that General Buhari has become with his
‘anyone but Jonathan’ mantra. Now Jonathan is OUT of POWER and Soyinka is OUT
of FREEDOM and he wants us to come OUT on the streets?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>No. Enjoy your monster!<o:p></o:p></div>

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma says his return to the club’s starting lineup is the culmination of a three-year struggle after he was seriously injured and then sent out on loan to two Premier League clubs.<br>
<br>
Zouma, who suffered a knee injury in 2016 that sidelined him for nine months, was loaned to Stoke City and Everton in the last two seasons before new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard made him a part of his first-team plans.<br>
<br>
“It has been a very, very long journey,” Zouma told reporters. “I don’t want to talk about that now, because that is the past but I fought very hard.<br>
<br>
“People don’t know, people don’t see but I was in the shadow, working hard to get back because I had a very bad injury.<br>
