WHAT'S GOING ON AT UNITED THIS SUMMER?

The 2014/15 campaign may have only just ended but already a busy summer lies ahead with potential signings, a pre-season tour and, yes, the start of 2015/16 all on the horizon. Here’s our guide to the key summer dates for your diary…
First of all, when can United make new signings?
The domestic transfer window is already open, while all deals will have to be completed when the international transfer window closes on 1 September.
When will the 2015/16 Barclays Premier League fixtures be released?
The fixtures are announced on 17 June. Be first to get the full list of league fixtures via ManUtd.com, @ManUtd on Twitter, or you can sync all the matches with your personal calendar on your computer or smartphone via our Fixtures Calendar app (calendar.manutd.com ).
When will the players return for pre-season training?
Louis van Gaal and his coaching staff will return to the Aon Training Complex in the first week of July as pre-season preparations begin; then the players will begin to come in too. That's when the hard work starts.
On what date will the squad depart for the US on tour?
The full tour party will leave Manchester on 13 July, heading to Seattle, where the Reds will be based for the opening match against Club America on 17 July. Then the players head to San Francisco Bay to face San Jose Earthquakes (21 July, Berkeley) and Barcelona (25 July, Santa Clara). The last game of Tour 2015, presented by Aon, is on 29 July against
Paris Saint-Germain , in Chicago.
And finally, when does the real action start?
United have some exciting pre-season games, of course, but the first competitive match of the new campaign will be on the opening weekend of the Barclays Premier League season (8-10 August). Then the Reds will have a Champions League play-off tie on 18/19 August (second leg 25/26 August), vying with one of 10 teams for a place in the group stage draw on 27 August.

CMS Grammar School, Lagos is the oldest secondary school in Nigeria. It was founded on the 6th of June 1859. In honour of its 156th Anniversary here is a brief history of the school. A Brief History of the School One of the major consequences of the advent of European Missionaries and the subsequent exploration of the interior regions of Nigeria was a rise in the establishment of Churches and Schools by the Missionaries. The missionaries had projected that if evangelism was to witness success and progress, education of the citizenry was inescapable. Thus, began the founding of many elementary schools, under the auspices of the CMS Mission and in line with that exploratory pattern. One of the leaders of the CMS Mission, Henry Venn was said to have favoured and encouraged the education of Africans for the African Mission, under a familiar climate. One of the products of that indigenization campaign was Thomas Babington Macaulay, an African and Nigerian who was spotted and picked from

David de Gea - I Want To Join Real Madrid

David De Gea has informed Manchester United that he wishes to join Real Madrid, Goal can reveal. The Red Devils must now determine whether to sell De Gea this summer or to hold the Spain international to the final year of his contract, losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season. The attraction of playing for Spain’s biggest football club combined with the opportunity to return to his home city and residence of his girlfriend were significant factors in De Gea’s decision to leave the Premier League. United’s handling of the 24-year-old in recent years – including Louis van Gaal’s instruction that the club hold off on the offer of a new contract last summer until the incoming manager had time to work with De Gea in person – facilitated Madrid’s approach. It is understood that De Gea’s advisors recommended that the Spaniard spend a further two years in English football before joining Madrid. Their argument was that the Premier League provides the best environment
