HAVANA Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Cuban Baseball Federation (FCB) Wednesday denied contacting representatives of professional Mexican baseball club Caneros de Los Monchis, who are reportedly in Cuba to scout local talent.

"The incorporation of new Cuban players in professional teams is momentarily postponed," he added.

Manchester United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores the third goal — the winner — against Southampton during their English League Cup final at Wembley on Sunday. — Reuters
EVER the showman Cheap Nike Air Max 2018 , Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to be reveling in maintaining the suspense.
Why accept a one-year contract extension from Manchester United now when you can sustain the ambiguity and add to the mystique?
“Let’s see what happens,” Ibrahimovic said after his free kick and header helped United win the League Cup on Sunday.
“I will stop on top. If I don’t perform, if I don’t bring results, I will not play,” the Swede added. “I will not be like other players Cheap Nike Air Max 90 , playing because they (had) a great career and name and they are still playing because they are who they are.”
Even at 35, though, Ibrahimovic is feeding off his goals rather than his reputation. “I’m an animal,” he said. “I feel like a lion.”
United manager Jose Mourinho certainly wants the striker to stay for another year. After Ibrahimovic produced another age-defying, match-winning display and took his tally for the season to 26 goals Cheap Nike Air Max , Mourinho said he would not “beg” Ibrahimovic to prolong his stay.
The fans are another matter. If there’s any doubt Ibrahimovic could call it quits after a single season in English soccer, Mourinho quipped that supporters should camp outside his house.
It was Ibrahimovic’s sons, Vincent and Maximilian, who urged their father to make England his next — potentially final — destination in a nomadic playing career after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired last year.
“I had my mind somewhere else ... my mind was not here,” Ibrahimovic said as he left Wembley Stadium following United’s 3-2 victory over Southampton. “Then my kids started to bump my head and Jose called Cheap Air Max 2018 , then I am here.”
No one but Ibrahimovic, though, is influencing the decision about whether to play on at United into next season.
“(My children) are satisfied with what I am doing,” Ibrahimovic said, “but this time I am the boss Cheap Air Max 90 , not them.”
The Swede is enjoying toying with reporters about his future, especially after defying so many predictions that he wouldn’t be able to cut it in England in the twilight of his career.
“Let’s see what happens,” he said. “We have another two months of the season to go, because according to many I could not do what I’ve been doing.”
Scoring goal after goal, his exploits relegated a forward almost half his age — 19-year-old Marcus Rashford — and captain Wayne Rooney to the bench at Wembley. And Sunday’s triumph took his career haul of winners’ medals to 32 Cheap Air Max , augmenting a collection from Ajax, Milan clubs Inter and AC, Barcelona and PSG.
