Disastrous decision: Mason Mount 'career going down the drain' at Manchester United

Mason Mount is on the verge of joining a list of players who have failed to survive outside their comfort zone. At Chelsea, Mount had it all. The team played the sort of football he loved; the managers gave him more chances than he deserved, and the fans always got his back whenever things aren't going his way. 
But deciding to ditch that comfort zone for Manchester United in a £60m deal is a mixture of bravery and lack of foresight. 

To ditch Chelsea is understandable. The club has digressed to a pitiful state and Mount was brave to leave them now for greener pasture. But to join Manchester United who are no different from Chelsea makes no sense- both teams can't win the Premier League title. 

At Manchester United, Mount has failed to register an assist or goal in any of his appearance for the club, probably the reason why Manchester United have scored just 11 Premier League goals and now sit 8th in the table, 8 points from 4th placed Liverpool and 11 points from top topping Tottenham.  

Although Mount debut campaign haven't gone to plan. The 24-year-old has suffered injuries, loss of form and now, battling with his confidences. Improvements are required to reach the top, but in Mason case, he is stuck in a loophole.

Just like everyone else, Mount knows there's a problem at Manchester United and he is part of it. Deep down, he knows he has fallen into a black hole that will require a lot of help to get out from.

The manager's trust in him seems to be fading, he hardly starts games even while fit and the club fans are already questioning the decision to fork out £60m on a player they clearly don't need. 

No doubt, Mason Mount can contribute to United's season (he can still score and assits) but its time he starts planning an exit soon before his promising career derail like others before him.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

Fighting corruption: Why Nigeria must introduce death sentence for all corrupt office holders?

According to Section 33 of the Nigerian constitution, capital crimes include those relating to terrorism, third-degree murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, incest, helping someone who is legally incapable of consenting to suicide, perjury, and military mutiny. The following crimes are eligible for the death penalty, yet none of them address the main problem impeding Nigeria's advancement and development. The country possesses both human and material resources to rival any nation in the world but yet, the nation swallows in abject poverty; malnutrition, illiteracy, delipidated or broken-down infrastructure, communal wars, gang related violence, banditry, terrorism, and worst of all, spread of infectious disease in both rural an urban area.  Like many other countries, Cameroon has expressed its concerns about the grave extent of bribery and corruption in all spheres of the national economy and the damage it is bringing to the future of its ci...

3 reasons why Xabi Alonso should join Liverpool and not Bayern Munich

After spending just eighteen months at Bayern Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an excellent manager who can assemble a top-tier squad on a shoestring. Leverkusen are close to becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to win the title without losing a single match.  To put it plainly, Alonso had to develop a world class team capable of preventing Bayern Munich from setting a record with 13 straight league titles. Disrupting the balance has alerted Europe's biggest clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are now want him.  With Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel expected to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, Xabi Alonso have now become the ideal manager to replace one of them.  Alonso will likely be leaving Bayern Munich and he carefully analyzed both clubs and decide for himself which of the two can really give the time, resources, club and fan support.  Here are the 3 reasons why he should choose Liverpool: ...
