Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final and pictures of their changing room celebrations have been released. Alongside a guest appearance from Sir Alex Ferguson, the United team posed for pictures with the trophy as champagne flowed. Ten Hag’s side took command of the Carabao Cup final when Casemiro headed in a brilliant Luke Shaw cross to give Manchester United the lead. An own-goal courtesy of Sven Botman doubled United’s advantage and put them in complete control as they saw the game out. The win ended United’s six-year trophy drought and all involved with the club seemed to enjoy getting their hands on…

ERIK TEN HAG put on his dancing shoes after claiming his first piece of silverware at Manchester United – but not everyone enjoyed it. The Red Devils are the 2023 Carabao Cup winners after beating Newcastle at Wembley this afternoon. A Casemiro header and a Sven Botman own goal were enough to end the club’s six-year trophy drought. And Ten Hag was spotted pulling off some moves with stars Antony and Lisandro Martinez afterwards as the celebrations got underway. However, Talk TV host and Sun Sport columnist Piers Morgan, a long-time supporter of Arsenal, was not impressed with what he was watching. Sharing the clip, he tweeted:…

Cristiano Ronaldo could still be given a Carabao Cup winner’s medal, despite the fact he no longer plays for Manchester United. Sunday was certainly a day of contradictions for Ronaldo and his former teammates at Old Trafford, who he left back in November last year. Sure, the previous day, Ronaldo had netted the second hat-trick of his time in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, but you assume he’d rather have been at Wembley. There, his ex colleagues were capturing their first piece of silverware in nearly six years, beating Saudi owned Newcastle United in the final. Ronaldo on the other hand, was at…

Manchester United won the Carabao Cup final 2-0 against Newcastle United, ending a six year trophy drought and giving Erik ten Hag a piece of silverware at the first time of asking. It has been a tough few years for the 13 times Premier League champions, who have not won the league in nearly 10 years since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. In 2017 they won the League Cup and Europa League under Jose Mourinho and have been starved of any major success since then. Ten Hag has brought back belief to Old Trafford this season, and they have remained in…

An American mother who is living in Denmark with her four children has opened up about adjusting to life in Copenhagen, where babies nap outside in strollers and couples sleep with their own duvets. Annie Samples, 36, from Texas, has more than 200,000 followers on TikTok, where she documents what it’s like to raise a family in one of the happiest and safest countries in the world. The expat, who uses the handle @annieineventyrland, told DailyMail.com that Copenhagen is ‘just so peaceful’ that you ‘really feel the safety straightaway.’ ‘If you act like it’s not peaceful and act more neurotic you kind of stick out like a sore…

Forgive yourself if you’ve lost count – Erling Haaland himself probably has by now. Numbers are not necessary to conclude this is one of the finest goal-scoring seasons in English history. But here they are, for the record. Haaland’s league tally of 27 would have won him the Golden Boot in 19 of 30 Premier League seasons and, going back further, he would have topped the scoring charts in 71 of 141 English top-flight campaigns. In local context, Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero – perhaps the finest player to wear the shirt – never hit 27 league goals in one…

Joao Felix had dropped a Chelsea transfer hint and feels he has ‘more freedom’ at Stamford Bridge than at parent club Atletico Madrid. Felix joined the Blues on loan in the January transfer window with the west London club paying £10m for his services for six months. The 23-year-old Portugal international has featured four times for Chelsea thus far and registered his first goal in the 1-1 draw with West Ham earlier this month. Chelsea do not have a buy option included in the loan but Felix has hinted he may be willing to join Graham Potter’s side on a permanent basis. ‘The position I…

A Chinese fighter jet together with a guided-missile destroyer warship in the South China Sea warned a U.S. military reconnaissance aircraft to turn away from Chinese airspace in a heart-stopping confrontation all caught on camera. The American aircraft was 30 miles from any airspace considered to be owned by China, including the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, but the Chinese military appear proactive in defending territory far outsider their jurisdiction in what could be seen a threatening maneuvers. The first the American pilot knew anything was wrong occurred when a booming voice claiming to be from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)…

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is still the top scorer in the Premier League, but the Norwegian international has been far less prolific in recent weeks Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has shouldered the blame amid Erling Haaland’s struggles in front of goal. Haaland is still the leading scorer in the Premier League, nine clear of his closest challenger, but has scored just once in his last six outings in all competitions. If the Norway striker fails to find the net against Bournemouth on Saturday, he would equal his unwanted City record of three straight games without scoring. The former Borussia Dortmund man has also seen his perceived lack of…

Manchester City star Phil Foden has found himself on the outskirts of the starting XI in recent months. Pep Guardiola has told Phil Foden he just needs to carry on being himself to get back into the team. After being as close to a guaranteed starter as you can get at Manchester City for the last two years, Foden has found himself in the unusual position of being out of favour in recent months. The academy graduate has started just five of the Blues’ 15 games since the World Cup, three of which the side didn’t win and the winning goal in…

Joe Cole has urged Chelsea to tie Mason Mount down to a new contract as a priority. Mount’s current deal is set to expire at the end of next season and he has yet to agree a new deal amidst interest from Liverpool.   The 24-year-old has received criticism for his recent form, with Graham Potter’s side having struggled. However, former Chelsea star Cole believes that the Blues need to remember how good a player Mount is and the impact that he has made in recent years. Cole told 90min: ‘Mason Mount is probably sitting there thinking: ‘I have performed for this club for three or four years now,…

Graham Potter has endured an arduous six months as Chelsea manager, but things have began to take a very sinister turn with some awful messages coming from anonymous fans Chelsea manager Graham Potter revealed he has received death threats from anonymous so-called ‘supporters’ saying they “want me to die and want my kids to die”. The former Brighton and Hove Albion boss has been the target of enormous criticism ever since he took over the reins at the West Londoners. Chelsea have only recorded two victories in their last 14 matches in all competitions. He has been given firm support…

CHELSEA star Conor Gallagher threw a lavish party for girlfriend Aine May. Aine celebrated her 26th birthday in style with Gallagher and a load friends. Taking to her Instagram, which has almost 52,000 followers, Aine shared snaps of her party. The Irish model and dancer donned a black dress featuring some striking embroidery on the edges. The dress code for the get together seemed to be black as well. All the party goers, including Gallagher, donned an all-black fit, with the Chelsea star completing his look with a gold chain. On Instagram, Aine said: “26 ✨ The best weekend. “Thank you CG for organising a…

MAN United’s Mason Greenwood is due to become a first-time dad. The suspended player, 21 — who had attempted rape and assault charges against him dropped — recently learned his partner is pregnant. His family are aware and the couple are “looking forward” to the summer arrival. Greenwood was arrested in January last year after a woman made claims on social media. Three weeks ago he was cleared of any wrongdoing. He remains suspended by the club but gets his £75,000-a-week salary. He is contracted until 2025. The striker wants to return to the first-team squad as soon as possible. However it is understood…

Manchester United fans may hold their breath when they see Casemiro moving towards an on-pitch brawl, but the rock solid Brazilian may have become a changed man under Ten Hag Manchester United fans struggled to contain themselves when they saw Casemiro’s reserved reaction to the 15 man fracas against Barcelona. Erik ten Hag’s side came from behind to secure an unforgettable 2-1 home victory over the Catalans at Old Trafford and book themselves a place in the Europa League Round of 16. The fiercely contested contest completely boiled over when Bruno Fernandes incited a 15 man scuffle by booting the ball at Frenkie de Jong…

ERIK TEN HAG has confirmed Marcus Rashford is a doubt for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle. The red-hot England star, 25, sparked injury concerns with a cryptic Instagram post following the 2-1 Europa League win over Barcelona. And Ten Hag appears to have confirmed Rashford could miss Man Utd’s first Wembley showdown in six years. When asked about Rashford’s knock, Ten Hag said: “I don’t know, the players now are coming in. “We have to do investigations, medical of course. “We did straight after the game, but most of the time you have to wait for a 100 per cent diagnosis. “So let’s do the…

The last time the United States gave a Europe such substantial financial backing, President Harry Truman was trying to rebuild a continent ravaged by the Second World War. It was 1947, and the Democrat was trying to persuade a weary population mourning the deaths of 470,000 American troops that other countries destroyed by war needed aid to rebuild and fight off the ongoing threat from Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union. The United States would provide support in the form of the $13 billion Marshall Plan – which was worth $160 billion in today’s money – and the Truman Doctrine. Seventy-five years on, the…

Terrifying new footage of a fatal alligator attack on 85-year-old woman shows the beast silently stalked her and her dog for over 100ft before timing its strike. Video shows the moment the alligator bursts from the water and lunges at the woman’s dog – who is aptly named Trooper. The attack unfolded in front of a neighbor who frantically called 911 as she tried to help the woman. Gloria Serge, 85, died after she was mauled to death by the 10-foot gator when she tried to rescue her beloved dog, Trooper, from the reptile’s clutches on Monday. Serge’s pup survived…

Manchester City are reportedly open to allowing captain Ilkay Gundogan to leave the club at the end of the season. The 32-year-old’s future at the Etihad Stadium has been called into question as his current contract is due to expire in just over four months’ time. Gundogan became Pep Guardiola’s first signing at Man City when he joined the club from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2016 for around £20m. The midfielder has since established himself as a key cog in Guardiola’s machine for nearly seven years, contributing with 52 goals and 37 assists in 286 appearances across all competitions. Two of those…

Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo has denied that there is any bad blood between him and Pep Guardiola and simply left for Bayern Munich in January because the Citizens coach felt that he did not ‘deserve’ to play. The Portugal international has thrived in a versatile role for Man City since leaving Juventus in 2019, but his influence waned in the first half of the 2022-23 campaign. Cancelo still managed one goal and five assists from 24 games in the Premier League and Champions League, but the emergence of Rico Lewis forced the 28-year-old into a more peripheral role. However, news of Cancelo’s loan move to Bayern Munich in…

MANCHESTER CITY fumed after they were denied a late penalty against RB Leipzig. But one crucial replay shows Rodri’s header came off the shoulder of Benjamin Heinrichs, not his arm. At first footage appeared to show the full-back moving his hand towards the ball to clear Rodri’s header. That sparked mass appeals from the City players, but referee Serdar Gozubuyuk waved away their protests. And he made the correct decision as the ball struck Heinrich’s left shoulder – he did not swipe it away using his right hand. But BT Sport Rio Ferdinand, who was adamant it was a penalty upon first viewing, still…

THIAGO Silva’s wife has taken aim at Chelsea again – this time with a blast at already under-fire boss Graham Potter. Belle Silva is the outspoken partner of the 38-year-old Brazilian international. From the club’s fans to her husband’s team-mates, not many have escaped the wrath of Belle. SunSport takes a look back at the many times she has turned the air around Stamford Bridge blue. GONE TO POTT Current boss Potter is having a challenging time at Chelsea and things got worse for the ex-Brighton gaffer after a home defeat to bottom of the league Southampton. Boos could be heard at Stamford…

TODD BOEHLY is splashing out on a luxury ‘chillout room’ for his Chelsea stars while they battle a crisis on the pitch. The chairman and manager Graham Potter are overseeing a multi-million-pound upgrade of their five-star Surrey training complex. In addition to a comfy lounge area there is a gym, pool and rehab centre. Specialist interior designers have been recruited to decorate the walls with motivational phrases. But Potter wants the whole area to be more ‘flowing’ to make his pampered players — who are currently struggling down in tenth in the Prem — feel happier and more relaxed when they come…

Todd Boehly is sticking by Graham Potter despite a poor run of form that has seen outrage re-emerge over his decision to sack Thomas Tuchel last year Just over three months into Todd Boehly’s reign as Chelsea co-owner, an enormous decision was made at the club that did not sit well with many supporters. Following a Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb, Thomas Tuchel was sacked as manager, just seven months on from the Blues being crowned champions of the world. It was a statement of intent from the new ownership and then some. A Champions League winning manager gone…
