Manchester United were unable to secure all three points in a 0-0 draw against Southampton at Old Trafford. United went a man down in the 34th minute when Casemiro was harshly sent off by Anthony Taylor. The Red Devils, however, put up a second-half defensive masterclass to ward off the Saints and earn a valuable point to cement their place in third position. Central to United’s decent result against Southampton was Bruno Fernandes. The United skipper had 73 touches of the ball, demonstrating his hard work in making himself available for the pass. He made nine ball recoveries in what was an astute…

A manager has waxed lyrical about a Manchester United transfer target whom Tottenham failed to sign during Jose Mourinho’s tenure, calling him the ‘best player in the world’ in his position. Man Utd are enjoying a good season under Erik ten Hag, having won the Carabao Cup last month. That trophy, which was the club’s first piece of silverware since 2017, will have Ten Hag hoping he can make Man Utd one of the great forces in European football once again. The Red Devils are not quite in the title race as that trophy looks set to be won by either…
Erling Haaland admitted that he was frustrated to be substituted after scoring five goals in Manchester City ’s Champions League demolition of RB Leipzig. The striker put in a virtuoso performance as Pep Guardiola’s side destroyed RB Leipzig 7-0 at the Etihad to book their place in the quarter finals. He was substituted off in the 62 nd minute of the game, ensuring that he was not able to complete a sensational ‘double hat-trick’ – a feat he conceded he’d have loved the chance to complete. The Norwegian – whose five goals came within a devastating 35-minute spell – already had a hat-trick by half-time; a penalty, close-range…

The Arsenal winger has enjoyed a fine season, first with Brighton and now with the Premier League leaders, and his talents have long been recognised on the international stage. However, he was left out of the starting line-up for Belgium’s first two matches of their ill-fated World Cup campaign.

A number of Manchester United’s players have shown a fresh side to themselves since Erik ten Hag took over as manager, responding to previous criticism from ex-players Manchester United have been enjoying a relatively fruitful season, despite difficult results in their last two games, with some players responding well after a difficult 2021-22. After finishing a distant sixth under Ralf Rangnick, the Red Devils have been revived by the arrival of Erik ten Hag as manager. A top four finish still looks likely, despite the last two matches bringing a 7-0 defeat at Liverpool and a goalless draw at home to relegation-threatened Southampton.…
Chelsea star Mykhaylo Mudryk has given Graham Potter a selection headache. Mykhaylo Mudryk could force Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke and Joao Felix out of the Chelsea starting XI on a regular basis if he continues to lineup in an inside left position. The Ukrainian looked more at home on the left-hand side during the 3-1 win over Leicester at the weekend and now could be set for an extended run in the team. Mudryk has failed to impress since his £88million move from Shakhtar Donetsk in January. The winger had been widely expected to join Arsenal following six months of sustained interest from the Emirates…

Ever since he took over DC Studios with Peter Safran, James Gunn has been on fans’ radars for more than one reason. Wiping DC’s entire slate clean to start from catch in an attempt to reboot the DC Universe, dismissing fan-favorite actors in the blink of an eye (yes, people still haven’t recovered from Henry Cavill’s exit as Superman), introducing films and shows as a part of the freshly restructured DCU that the audience doesn’t seem to be thrilled about in the least, the list goes on. James Gunn As if Gunn hadn’t gotten on the bad side of fans…
The MCU’s roster of superheroes is huge, and each one possesses incredible abilities that make them some of the strongest beings in the multiverse.

In what is an unlikely collection of celebs, Tom Cruise accidentally found himself part of Gemma Collins’ 42nd birthday celebrations this weekend. The Towie star didn’t shy away from celebrating this year as she enjoyed a big bash with all her friends over the weekend, before heading out with Irish popstars Jedward for a swanky London meal.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Messi was seen working out in his home gym adorned with pictures of his idol, Muhammad Ali. And like the boxing legend did, the Argentine knows where best to focus his energies. The dazzling dribbles that he pulls off on a regular basis are no coincidence. With his small frame and low centre of gravity, he is perfectly built for pulling off sudden lateral movements, darting in between defenders, and building up a head of speed over a tiny amount of ground. But his training regime is also key, with lunges, skips, accelerations, sprints over hurdles…
For most 20-year-olds, marking Lionel Messi would be a daunting prospect. However, Pablo Maffeo took it all in his stride For much of the last two decades, Lionel Messi has been the stuff of nightmares for defenders across the globe. Before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021, the Argentine superstar carved out an unrivalled legacy at Barcelona, winning pretty much every trophy possible at Camp Nou during his 17 years with the first-team. Very few defenders throughout that time period can claim to have kept Messi quiet. His sublime ability with the ball at his feet, together with an exceptional footballing brain,…
