The Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters is expected to present its report on President Muhammadu Buhari’s impeachment on Wednesday. The committee is looking into the approval of the payment of $496m out of the Excess Crude Account for the purchase of military aircraft. The 12 Super Tucano aircraft ordered from the United States will be delivered in 2020.

But Ragnick, 63, admitted he fears he does not have the time or influence to solve the club’s troubles before his job as interim manager ends in May.  Rangnick faces a toxic atmosphere at Old the club with morale low as up to half the squad want to leave the club with some on expiring contracts and the dressing room divided into cliques,  leaving United seventh in the Premier League.
