Man United defeated West Ham 3-1 in the FA Cup on Wednesday and Harry Maguire spoke about the result after the game. Harry Maguire has admitted Erik ten Hag gave Manchester United’s players a scolding at half-time against West Ham. Erik ten Hag said his players would ‘get back to work’ after lifting the Carabao Cup at Wembley at the weekend, but after making multiple changes to the starting line up to face West Ham, his side were lacklustre in the first half.

For 77 minutes at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s Carabao Cup celebrations threatened to come back and bite them on the backside. There was a little too much back-slapping going on here. Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes paraded the first trophy of the Eric ten Hag era on the pitch before kick-off, and Sir Alex Ferguson popped up again to present David de Gea with an award for breaking Peter Schmeichel’s clean sheet record in Sunday’s victory over Newcastle at Wembley. Then West Ham began to rain on United’s parade. Said Benrahma scored with an excellent strike early in the second…
Thiago Silva suffered knee ligament damage against Tottenham which could see the Chelsea defender sidelined until after the international break in another major setback for manager Graham Potter. Scans on Monday revealed the extent of the injury that forced the 38-year-old centre back off during Sunday’s 2-0 defeat. Chelsea did not confirm how long Silva would need to recover, as that will be determined by his rehab process and how he responds to treatment. However, initial expectations are that he could be out for up to six weeks. Chelsea will be without a key defender in a pivotal week for Potter. The Blues host Leeds in…
THIAGO SILVA has blasted Fifa’s best-player voting as a “joke” after Julian Alvarez came seventh – ahead of Kevin De Bruyne and Robert Lewandowski. Summer arrival Alvarez has struggled for a regular spot at Manchester City but bagged four goals in helping Argentina win the World Cup. Lionel Messi topped the poll of FIFPro players, selectors, journalists and fans with 52 votes. And the next four on the list were also no great surprise. French hitmen Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema notched 44 and 34 votes respectively. Then came Croatia’s evergreen midfielder Luka Modric and Etihad goal machine Erling Haaland. But controversy hit once the list got down to players with fewer than 20 votes.…
Kevin De Bruyne did not do what Pep Guardiola wanted in the first half but the Manchester City captain improved markedly Pep Guardiola declared that Kevin De Bruyne is back after the Manchester City skipper played his part in a 3-0 win over Bristol City. De Bruyne has had a difficult time since the World Cup, like many of the squad, and a recent illness kept him out of the trip to Leipzig and any minutes at Bournemouth. He returned in the starting XI in the FA Cup on Tuesday even though Guardiola said that he was still carrying some of the effects of his illness.…
Vladimir Putin and his gymnast lover Alina Kabaeva live like a Tsar and Tsarina with their children who are hidden from ordinary Russians, a new investigation claims. The report by the Proekt independent media outlet reveals their secret life at a forest palace in Valdai, where Kabaeva had her own luxury ‘wooden mansion’. The children are ‘underage’ – which is why Proekt has not disclosed information about the likely heirs of the Russian president, including their number and gender. ‘However, we will tell you where they are hiding,’ the publication says. There have been previous rumours that Putin, 70, and Kabaeva, 39, share several children.…
Top Defense officials insisted that Ukraine will not fall to Russia and they have no reason to believe US dollars and equipment are being ‘diverted’ for unintended purposes. Colin Kahl, undersecretary of defense policy, also insisted US F-16 fighter jets are not a top priority for Ukraine and would take 18-24 months to get them up and running in the war zone. The comments came at a House Armed Services Committee (HASC) hearing on Ukraine oversight Tuesday. It comes amid a growing split in the Republican Party between those who favor more aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia and those who have…

Poor planning by the U.S. military before the ‘abrupt’ Afghanistan withdrawal led to the rapid collapse of the Western-backed government as the Taliban overran the country in August 2021, a damning new watchdog report has said. The scathing analysis by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) found the American decision to pull out ‘destroyed the morale’ of the Afghan National Security Force (ANDSF), and the 300,000 local troops were destined to fail without U.S. support. It also details the more than $7 billion in weapons and equipment left for the Taliban to use, and the widespread corruption that dominated the Afghan military…
This is a competition that is threatening to open up for Manchester City. There are not many big hitters left. Pep Guardiola has only collected one FA Cup winners’ medal and they are placing importance in rectifying that. Semi-finals are usually their undoing, losing at that stage in each of the last three seasons. By that time of a campaign, the Champions League’s knockouts are in full swing and they are still fighting on three fronts. Believe it or not, City’s squad can then feel a little stretched. Guardiola likes to keep the size small, with 17 senior outfield players at his disposal…

Many of the Chelsea squad have faced criticism this season. Chelsea star Kai Havertz has been blasted for “not doing anything” to help improve his team’s form.

But he has not hit the heights in front of goal that many expected. The 23-year-old has just five Premier League goals to his name in…
