Rio Ferdinand believes Harry Maguire should leave Manchester United and feels the defender has been disrespected by Erik ten Hag after Luke Shaw was played instead of him in central defence last month. Maguire has started just four Premier League matches this season, with Ten Hag preferring Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez as his preferred centre-back partnership. The United captain also saw Shaw play ahead of him alongside Varane for two games last month after Martinez was given an extended break after Argentina’s World Cup success in Qatar. United have already dismissed reports linking Maguire with a surprise move to Aston Villa this month. But Ferdinand insists Maguire…

Scarlett Johansson has claimed trying to stop her image being used in computer-generated p*rnography is a ‘lost cause’. The 34-year-old has seen her face being superimposed into graphic s*xual videos by people who use artificial intelligence software to create disturbingly realistic p*rnography that looks like it stars her. And while Scarlett calls the practice ‘demeaning’, she admitted there isn’t a lot she can do. Speaking to The Washington Post, The Avengers actress said: ‘Clearly this doesn’t affect me as much because people assume it’s not actually me in a p*rno, however demeaning it is. ‘I think it’s a useless pursuit,…

Theo Squires reports on Klopp scouting mission, Jones cameo, Ramsay robbery and Doak positives as Liverpool u21s lose 2-0 to Spurs As the second half got underway in Liverpool Under-21s’ Premier League 2 return against Tottenham Hotspur, Jurgen Klopp watched on briefly from the car park before getting in his car and departing the Academy. His scouting mission for the day was already done. With Curtis Jones a surprise starter in Barry Lewtas’ midfield, the Scouser was the player the German had come to see. Jones has endured a torrid time with injuries over the past 18 months. A freakish eye injury…

Manchester City’ hosted Chelsea in their FA Cup third round tie at the Etihad Stadium. It’s fair to say Phil Foden remains in a bit of a limbo for Manchester City at present, despite ending his exile from Pep Guardiola’s first-choice XI with back-to-back starts. His start in the Premier League on Thursday was only his second in seven City appearances, and it won’t have been lost on him that the Blues looked far better without him after his 59th-minute substitution. After an electric start to the season, Foden has gone from a first-choice starter and one of their key creative options, striking up…

Erik ten Hag had the perfect response when one cheeky Manchester United fan asked the Dutchman if he could sign both Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe for the Red Devils Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag had the perfect response when some kids asked him if the Red Devils were signing Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. The Red Devils have been linked with a move for Bellingham – alongside other European giants. However, a move for Mbappe looks a lot less likely than a deal with Bellingham. But it didn’t stop one cheeky kid from asking as Ten Hag stopped to sign autographs…

Allen has always denied the allegations, which have been investigated twice but no charges have ever been brought. In a new interview, the Avengers star, 34, stands by him, telling the Hollywood Reporter: “I see Woody whenever I can, and…

As the Aussie star welcomes her birthday, the Daily Star has rounded up the blonde bombshell’s hottest snaps and steamiest movie displays over the years It’s hard to believe Hollywood bombshell Margot Robbie began her acting career on a humble TV soap like Neighbours, but since her stint playing Donna Brown back in 2008 the TV siren has firmly cemented her place as a superstar. Her short stint as a ’60s-era flight attendant in ABC series Pan Am led to Martin Scorsese casting her in The Wolf of Wall Street starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, and the star hasn’t looked back since. The…

She was spotted without her wedding ring She’s one of Australia’s most famous and beloved exports but after a series of box-office flops, sources say Margot Robbie’s confidence has taken a knock and it’s slipping over into her personal life. Onlookers couldn’t help but notice the 32-year-old had ditched her wedding ring when she was spotted leaving pal Cara Delevingne’s home in New York with an ashen-faced husband Tom Ackerley, also 32, prompting some to speculate the star’s professional life could be putting a strain on their six-year marriage. “There’s a lot of pressure behind the scenes and there’s no doubt this…

Mohamed Salah continues to shoot up Liverpool’s all-time goalscoring list, this time overtaking none other than Sir Kenny Dalglish to move into outright seventh. And now it’s all about how high the Egyptian can reach, his potential is frightening. Salah has played 280 games across all competitions for the Reds and now has 173 goals to his name for a games-to-goal ratio of 1.61 – which is simply astonishing. His 173rd goal for Liverpool came against Wolves in the FA Cup, seeing him topple the great Dalglish and move to within 11 strikes of surpassing Robbie Fowler in sixth and 14 of Steven Gerrard in fifth.…

Thiago Alcantara has bizarrely been singled out by former Chelsea forward Tony Cascarino Thiago Alcantara is part of the reason Liverpool’s midfield have struggled this season, according to former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino. Just days after their 3-1 mauling at Brentford, Jurgen Klopp’s side once again produced another lacklustre performance as they began their defence of the FA Cup, drawing 2-2 with Premier League counterparts Wolverhampton Wanderers. Despite the Reds boss naming a virtually first-choice XI, Julen Lopetegui’s men outfought and outbattled Liverpool for large parts of the game and will feel hard done by that they were unable to…

Liverpool sold Sadio Mané last summer. Now, Roberto Firmino could leave on a free transfer. Jürgen Klopp knows what to do as his iconic front line breaks up. Up until his recent calf injury, it would be hard to argue against the claim that Roberto Firmino has had a decent season for Liverpool. The Brazilian had been the main beneficiary of injuries to Diogo Jota and Luis Díaz, with Jürgen Klopp altering his formation to get the best out of him. With Sadio Mané gone, and no suitable wingers for his 4-3-3 system, Klopp pivoted to a 4-3-1-2 and utilised Firmino…

Gary Lineker poked fun at Kepa Arrizabalaga and Alan Shearer laid into Chelsea after their FA Cup defeat to Manchester City.

The pressure is mounting on Graham Potter, who described the opening period of the game as particularly “painful and tough for us all”. He added: “We were second best to a very, very good side. We are not in a great moment and even though it was a cagey first 20 minutes…

Phil Foden was on the scoresheet as Man City defeated Chelsea 4-0 in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

Julian Alvarez insists he was not put off by Kepa Arrizabalaga’s attempt at mind games before his penalty in Manchester City’s 4-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s side eased to victory at the Etihad Stadium with a double from Riyad Mahrez, while Alvarez and Phil Foden also scored. Alvarez took City’s penalty in the first half following Kai Havertz’s blatant handball inside Chelsea’s area. But as he was preparing to take the spot kick, Kepa stood a yard away from the ball and began to speak with Alvarez. The Chelsea goalkeeper dived the right way for Alvarez’s effort but…

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told Chelsea owner Todd Boehly he must give under-pressure boss Graham Potter time to implement his ideas at Stamford Bridge after watching his side beat the Blues for the second time in four days. Following on from Thursday’s 1-0 Premier League win in the capital which left Chelsea in 10th place, City dumped Potter’s side out of the FA Cup with a resounding 4-0 win at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Referee Rob Jones didn’t notice it at first, but was quickly called over to the monitors…

Referee Rob Jones failed to spot the blunder, but…

Graham Potter’s future as Chelsea manager is hanging in the balance following his side’s 4-0 thumping at the hands of Manchester City – their fifth defeat in seven games It’s difficult to see how much more humiliation Graham Potter can survive. If the Chelsea boss thought the FA Cup would be a welcome distraction from his side’s Premier League woes, then how wrong he was. Instead, Potter and his millionaire flops suffered more pain as a second string Manchester City team brushed them aside with utter disdain at the Etihad to cruise into the FA Cup fourth round.
