Juan Mata set for £37m transfer from Chelsea with Manchester United preparing helipad for his arrival

Juan Mata's move to Manchester United accelerates towards completion with helicopter landing pad being prepared at Aon Training Centre where medical could take place

Juan Mata’s move to Manchester United appeared to accelerate towards completion this morning with a helicopter landing pad being prepared at the club’s Aon Training Centre.
With Chelsea agreeing a £37m deal for the Spain international on Wednesday night, Mata is understood to be set to undergo a medical in Manchester today.
Having invested £15m in a new medical facility at their Carrington training base last season, United could perform the medical away from prying eyes at their secluded headquarters.
And with David Moyes’s players due to report for training at 11am, preparations are understood to be underway for the club’s helipad to be used on Thursday.
It is not clear whether Mata will arrive in Manchester by helicopter or if he will undergo his medical at Carrington or the Bridgewater Hospital, the club’s traditional venue for such procedures. However, with Chelsea paving the way for the 25-year-old to leave Stamford Bridge, the only obstacle between the move being completed is the formality of a medical.

Village court orders woman to be gang-raped by 13 men for dating a man from another village(Photo)

A 20-year-old woman has been left fighting for her life in hospital today after a kangaroo court in India ordered her to be gang-raped for having an affair with a youth from another village.
The brutal punishment was allegedly carried out by the very same ‘court’ which found her guilty in a village near Suri in west Bengal state, 150 miles from Kolkata, police said.
Police said that all 13 accused men - ten of whom made up the kangaroo court - have since been arrested for rape. Among them is the village headman.
It was on Monday afternoon that a group of tribal men found the woman sitting with her lover, who is from Chowhatta village and of a different religion.They dragged the two of them to a religious place known as a 'than' where a makeshift court was hastily put together on the orders of the tribal chieftan.
Police said that the youth was told to pay a fine of £245 and warned that if he did not pay, men from the village would 'have fun with the girl.'
With no money forthcoming, the woman was allegedly tied to a tree before she was forced into a shed and raped continuously until Tuesday morning.

Despite her critical condition and clinging to life, the female victim managed to tell her story to The Times of India.
'I had an affair with a man,' We were dragged to a gathering where our community headman was present. They told me to pay 50,000 rupees (£490). When I said I couldn't, they brutalised me.'
A doctor told the paper that the young woman was alive 'only because she is a tough tribal girl.'The woman's distraught mother said that '
" The crime was committed by our own people.They tortured my daughter and dumped her home late at night. We were threatened not to go to police.'We tried to go to Bolpur hospital, but they stopped us

OJB - "I'm Afraid I Might Still Die Even After My Successful Surgery"


Do you have any word for people who are in your shoes but are losing hope and faith that they might not survive it?
"The only thing I will tell is it is understandable and normal to be afraid. I think the real tension starts when you are trying to prove that you aren't afraid but, you are! I'm afraid, I mean I am afraid of dying even as I've come out of this. At least, I've seen people come out of this and still die so, I'm afraid! I wouldn't lie to myself but I'm afraid so I do everything with consciousness but at the same time, I believed that with God everything is possible.
Why I cried in church 
It got to a point where I thought I might not make it out alive (during the surgery) and that was why I cried inside church. On the surgery table, three to four times they had to try and revive me. After the surgery, the same thing happened twice again. So, for being here today is enough for me to be happy. That joy means a lot to me than any other thing.
