  Manchester United will be looking to get their Premier League campaign in 2022/23 off to a winning start when they face Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. The Erik ten Hag era will officially begin at Old Trafford this weekend when Manchester United face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League in what will be the Dutchman's first competitive match in charge. After an abysmal season in which they finished outside the top four and had their lowest ever Premier League points tally, Manchester United were quick to make changes, handing over the first-team reins to Ten Hag, who had previously had great success at Ajax. However, things have not been easy for the Dutch tactician, as the Red Devils continue to struggle. The future of Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated headlines, as has their inability to complete transfer deals. The preseason began with victories over Liverpool, Melbourne Victory, and Crystal Palace, but United then went three games without a win, losing to At...

Despite having debts of €1.35 billion (£1.16 billion or $1.42 billion) in 2021, the Catalan giants have spent heavily ahead of the new campaign. Barca paid for the transfers by selling a portion of the club's television rights and a 25% stake in Barca Studios, but they will only be able to register their new players if they meet La Liga's financial fair play criteria. The Camp Nou has had a busy transfer window, with the Catalans spending big on striker Robert Lewandowski, who arrived from Bayern Munich for a fee of €50 million (£42m/$51m). Raphinha, a Brazilian winger, has also joined from Leeds United for an initial fee of €59 million (£50 million or $59 million), while Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde has become the club's latest signing. According to Colin Millar of the Mirror, La Liga has rejected Barcelona's attempts to sign five new players: Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Franck Kessie, and Andreas Christensen. They have also been unable to registe...

Utility rates are set to rise next week for the first time since 2017. This comes after the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) conducted nationwide consultations on utility company proposals. According to a source familiar with the stakeholder consultations, the PURC engaged identifiable groups and relevant sections of the public in addition to the public fora across the 16 regions and had considered all sides of the arguments in arriving at appropriate tariffs. The new tariffs will not be uniform, which means that the rates will be determined by the utilities' reasons and proofs, as well as the commission's verification. According to another source, the tariffs that will be announced do not include taxes. In May of this year, the utility companies presented proposals to the PURC based on the regulator's guidelines. While the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) proposed a 300% increase over its current tariffs, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) proposed a...

Chelsea has entered the Cucurella race. City are interested in the 24-year-old left-back but are unwilling to meet the Seagulls' £50 million asking price, allowing rivals to pounce. The Blues are prepared to do so and are in discussions with Cucurella, though no agreement has yet been reached between the two Premier League clubs. Chelsea's desperate search for defenders has led them to attempt to derail Manchester City's bid to sign Marc Cucurella from Brighton. City have refused to meet Brighton's £50 million valuation for Cucurella, opening the door for Chelsea to hold their own talks. Cucurella is said to be open to joining Chelsea despite his desire to join Manchester City, and Brighton have already begun looking for replacements. Although Chelsea already have a £50 million left-back in Ben Chilwell, as well as Barcelona targets Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmeiri, Cucurella is seen as a potential solution to some of the club's defensive issues. Head coach Thomas...

  The Ministry of Communication and Digitalisation (MoCD) will engage and consult with key stakeholders as well as all telecommunications companies to determine whether or not to extend the recent SIM card registration exercise. With only less than 48 hours until the second deadline, which was extended from March 31 to July 31, 2022, some Ghanaians are still calling for an extension, possibly until the end of the year. Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful, speaking to the B&FT on the sidelines of the launch of the Tertiary Digital Innovation Programme to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Ghana Digital Centres (GDCL) in Accra, said: "We'll engage all stakeholders and all telecom companies on the matter." The deadline remains unchanged until then. According to current NIA data, slightly more than 16 million people have registered for the Ghana Card, an access card that allows SIM card registration. According to the data, it appears that more people have yet to register their SIM c...

A critical juncture in Barcelona's pursuit of Bernardo Silva According to 'L'Equipe,' Manchester City has caved and is ready to begin talks with their player. Bernardo Silva's situation has changed. Manchester City have made moves to sign Lucas Paqueta while also opening the door to negotiations for the Portugal international. However, it is no secret that Xavi Hernandez holds high regard for the midfielder, and as such, he is looking for a top-tier player to replace the Dutchman. This is where Bernardo Silva enters the picture. The Portuguese international is one of Xavi's favourite players, and the Barcelona manager sees him as an ideal partner for Pedri in the interior midfield position. As a result, Barcelona is actively looking for a way to sign Bernardo Silva, especially after today's revelation that Manchester City is willing to sell the midfielder for around €80 million. Barcelona are reportedly one of two clubs that have been given the opportuni...

  Barcelona are reportedly set to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla during the current transfer window, following another intense battle with Chelsea. The 23-year-old has been Xavi's top target to bolster his backline this summer. Chelsea, on the other hand, had been pushing hard and were thought to have reached an agreement with Sevilla, only for the Blaugrana to claw their way back into the race, as they did with Raphinha. According to reports, Kounde's arrival at Camp Nou could be imminent, with Barça having agreed to a €60 million deal with Sevilla, as well as terms on a four-year contract with the French international. If signed, Kounde will be another excellent signing for the Blaugrana, adding to Xavi's defensive roster heading into the new season. The Premier League club thought they had a deal in place for the France international this summer. They had agreed to pay Sevilla's £55 million valuation for a five-year contract. Barcelona, on the other hand, has been ...
