Manchester United have completed the signing of out-of-contract striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a one-year deal. The 34-year-old, capped 116 times by Sweden, left French champions Paris St-Germain at the end of last season.
"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and looking forward to playing in the Premier League," he told the club's website.
Ibrahimovic is United's second signing of the summer after Villarreal defender Eric Bailly joined for £30m.

 The former Barcelona and Juventus player has scored 392 goals in 677 games and won a trophy every season of his career since 2001, including 13 league titles.
Last season was his most prolific, scoring 50 goals in 51 matches, a record for PSG. His tally of 38 league goals was also a club record.

In his four seasons at the French club, he won 12 trophies, including the domestic quadruple twice. On announcing he was leaving the Ligue 1 club, he tweeted: "I came like a king, left like a legend."

Braimah Kamoko, alias Bukom Banku, who is alleged to have assaulted one Michael Abbey has finally been arrested by the police and presented to an Accra Magistrate’s court on Monday, June 27.

The prosecutor, Chief Inspector Victor Dosoo, indicated to the court, presided over by Ms Arit Nsemoh, that the AG’s advice was ready.

Banku, who was brought on accused summons, is yet to be properly charged.

He was handed over to the Accra Regional Police while his charge sheet is yet to be prepared.

Briefing the court, the investigator for the case, Mr Jerry Sumiah, explained that his inability to carry out the first bench warrant issued for the arrest of Bukom Banku was because he was always accompanied by his followers, making it difficult to arrest him, without resorting to violent tactics.

Arrest

Mr Sumiah said Banku was arrested around the Lavender Hill close to the  Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, upon a tip off that Banku was driving around that area.

Bukom Banku had market women cheeri…

An attack on bakery at Bomso in Kumasi in the Ashanti region has left two workers in critical condition at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

Margaret Oforiwaa and Kwame Adjei are said to have bled profusely from gunshot wounds in last night’s attack believed to be an escalation of an earlier confrontation between a worker and a gang member.

What appeared a normal working night turned bloody when three gunmen wielding AK 47 assault rifles and pistols started shooting sporadically at workers on duty.

The armed gang had returned to the shop to retaliate an attack on one of its members who had a verbal confrontation with one of the workers. The disagreement turned into fisticuffs.

But after the two were separated, the man whose identity is unknown returned in the evening in the company of his colleagues, to carry through a threat to retaliate.

They chased the defenseless workers in darkness and shot two workers and a customer at close range.

Margaret was shot in the upper chest whil…

The accident occurred when a fully loaded 207 passenger bus numbered GY 2520-13 rammed into a stationary timber truck with registration number GT874 Friday dawn.

Twelve passengers in the 207 bus died instantly.

Confirming the incident to Morning Starr, the divisional Police Commander Superintendent Ohene Boadi Bossman said the bus may have crashed into the truck because it was packed in the middle of the road.

He narrated that an earlier accident at the same spot killed five people Thursday night.

“The first accident occurred around 8:30pm yesterday and we went there to clear the place and conveyed the bodies to the mortuary. We were there up till 12am, after putting all the reflectors on the road to avoid a recurrence. But this morning, this driver drove through the clones and all the reflectors and crashed into the truck killing 12 people, it's sad,” he told Earl Ankrah, guest …
