Manchester United will take on Leicester City as they welcome them to Old Trafford on Sunday to take all three points from this home encounter. The Red Devils come into the match on the back of a 2-2 stalemate with Barcelona in the Europa League, so they will be looking to produce a better result.

Both Marcel Sabitzer and Lisandro Martinez will return to the match-day squad while Scott McTominay pushes for a starting place after recovering from…

Mason Greenwood has ‘secretly met up’ with some of his Manchester United teammates in efforts to ‘rekindle relationships’ at the club. The 21-year-old was arrested in January 2022 amid allegations surrounding images and videos that appeared on social media and has not played for the club since. Earlier this month, charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm were dropped with United now holding their own internal investigation. Greenwood denies the charges. While the striker will not play or train for United while the investigation takes place, The Sun report he has reached out to players with hopes…

Small pico balloons typically range between $12 and $180 while an F-22 Raptor is estimated to be around $200 million Sen. Ted Cruz took to Twitter Thursday to criticize President Joe Biden for ordering an F-22 fighter jet to shoot down what may have been a hobby club’s science project off the coast of Alaska earlier last week. Cruz, R-Texas, joked that Biden’s decision to authorize the $200 million fighter jet to use a $400,000 missile to shoot down what may have been a $12 balloon serves as a “powerful deterrence” to high school students interested in creating their own at-home science…

The pair seemed to be in good spirits as they smiled during…

Margot Robbie was understandably a little nervous to film a sex scene in The Wolf of Wall Street. Most will remember the Australian actress seducing her on-screen husband, Leonardo DiCaprio, in their child’s nursery before later hopping into bed together. The intimate bedroom scene in particular saw Margot, 28, strip off and, naturally, it wasn’t the most comfortable filming experience with 30 other strange men watching the actress in the buff. Recalling the awkwardness in an interview with Porter, Margot said: ‘It doesn’t come across when you’re watching the movie, but in reality we’re in a tiny bedroom with 30 crew…

Barcelona’s Raphinha was left physically scratching his head after David de Gea plucked his ‘100mph’ rocket out of the air during their clash against Manchester United Barcelona’s Raphinha was left scratching his head after David de Gea not only stopped his long-range rocket – but plucked it out of the air with ease.

An untreatable Ebola-like virus — which kills up to nine in 10 people it infects — is currently spreading in Africa. Marburg, one of the deadliest pathogens ever discovered, has already killed nine in Equatorial Guinea. Two suspected cases have since been spotted in neighbouring Cameroon, sparking fears that the virus may be spreading under the radar. The World Health Organization has deployed teams to Equatorial Guinea, who are working at ‘full steam’ to ‘save lives and halt the virus as soon as possible’. But what is Marburg? How does it spread? And are there any treatments to stop the spread of…

With the US teetering on the brink of nuclear war with Russia and gloomy warnings about climate change, many believe these events could end the human race. But the biggest threat to humanity is still zoonotic diseases — pathogens that jump from animals to people — according to experts from Harvard University and New York University. In an editorial published today, they claimed America is ‘fundamentally unprepared’, despite the Covid pandemic being so fresh in people’s minds, as well as the recent bird flu and Marburg virus outbreak scares. Africa and China are normally seen as the places most likely to spawn a pandemic — where Ebola,…

The Liverpool duo closing in on a prolific partnership. Liverpool’s famed front three split up last summer when Sadio Mane opted to leave for Bayern Munich after six years at the club, leaving their star man Mohamed Salah without his main attacking wingman and Roberto Firmino down the pecking order. To replace Mane, £85m was spent on Benfica forward Darwin Nunez, but the Uruguayan has toiled in his first season in England and has struggled for consistency as he adapts to a new team and league. Of course, people will point towards the fact that he tops the big chances missed leaderboard…

Trent Alexander-Arnold hasn’t provided many assists this season but the Liverpool right-back is still as important as ever. Jürgen Klopp knows his value. The problem with narratives is that they can be very difficult to shift. Why focus on a wider body of work when a single moment gives you all the confirmation bias you need, eh? Trent Alexander-Arnold can’t seem to catch a break this season. He had an excellent game defensively in the recent Merseyside derby, undoubtedly winning his long-running battle with Dwight McNeil. Yet ask people how he performed and many will point to his failure to cut…

Jack Grealish has arguably been Manchester City’s best player in 2023 and his impact for Pep Guardiola’s side is starting to translate into vital goals and assists Jack Grealish is finally proving Manchester City were right to splash the cash on him 18 months ago. When Etihad team-mate Ilkay Gundogan shifted the ball into Grealish’s path on Wednesday night, the Emirates faithful grew silent. With one rasping swipe of his right leg, the energy, optimism and, quite possibly, Arsenal’s title hopes, dissipated. Since he became the first ever £100m British player, Grealish has brought the odd flash of brilliance, his…

Bernardo Silva has found himself as a re-invented left-back for Manchester City in the last two games, drawing praise from Pep Guardiola. Bernardo Silva admits he is finding his new position tough for Manchester City, before insisting he is up for the challenge of playing with a more defensive mentality. After Joao Cancelo’s departure last month, Bernardo has emerged as a surprise solution to City’s left-back void, patrolling that area in the home win over Aston Villa, before playing almost exclusively as a full-back in the win at Arsenal. The midfielder played an hour there at the Emirates, before being pushed into attack, and Pep…

Enzo Fernandez has impressed since his arrival at Chelsea despite arriving with the pressure of a record-breaking price tag Gianfranco Zola has admitted Enzo Fernandez reminds him of former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas. The 22-year-old has impressed since joining the Blues on January transfer deadline day for a record-breaking fee. Fernandez was identified as a primary target in late December, football.london understands. Todd Boehly later held extensive talks with Benfica in order to wrap up a deal before the window slammed shut. Chelsea will pay the Portuguese giants £106.7million in six instalments, the first of which is thought to be around £30million. Despite the pressure…

Mount last signed a new contract in…

Chelsea have handled Raheem Sterling’s return with additional caution despite their goal-shy form and need to increase their attacking threat. Wary of the recurring injuries they have already suffered this season, Chelsea have been keen to avoid taking any risks with Sterling and opted against rushing him back. Summer signing Sterling suffered a hamstring injury against former club Manchester City but recovered from that in time to make a second-half appearance against Fulham a fortnight ago. But he has missed Chelsea’s last two games against West Ham and Borussia Dortmund after suffering a knock to the knee in training. Sterling…

Both Marcus Rashford and pundits Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves were convinced that Jules Kounde should have been penalised for a foul on the England star that would have seen him sent off the pitch. On the night he scored his 14th goal in 16 games – and his fourth in as many games – Rashford was left mystified as to why he was not awarded a foul after Kounde’s challenge. In the 64th minute, and with the visitors 2-1 up on the night after Marcos Alonso had got the hosts ahead, Rashford was released in behind the Blaugrana defence by Bruno Fernandes. However, no foul was…

The Manchester United fans high up in the cavernous Nou Camp were singing tribute songs to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer long after this brilliant, breathless game was over, and it certainly felt like old times. ‘A bit of a throwback,’ said Paul Scholes on BT Sport. It certainly was. Not only a throwback to Solskjaer’s unforgettable winner in the 1999 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich here, but to the days when United and Barcelona were slugging it out for Europe’s biggest prize. These two clubs don’t do boring, not even in the Europa League. One of the greatest match-ups…

Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United midfielder Casemiro ‘could have done better’ in the lead-up to Barcelona’s Europa League equaliser. Following Marcos Alonso’s headed opener, Marcus Rashford struck back two minutes later in the second-half to level Thursday’s first-leg playoff clash at the Camp Nou. A Jules Kounde own goal, forced by more good work from Rashford, gave United the lead with the visitors turning in a superb display away from home where they should have extended their lead. They were pegged back 14 minutes from full-time however when Raphinha’s cross from the right found its way past David de Gea. The equalising goal came when Casemiro’s misplaced pass out…
