Manchester United man Chris Smalling believes that his side’s resurrection is reminiscent of the Red Devils’ golden era under Sir Alex Ferguson. In case you didn’t know… Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United had a torrid start to the season with losses, exit rumors and team rifts making the headlines for the side. Since then, the Red Devils have revived their fighting spirit and bagged their third win in four matches with a 2-1 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday....

The Portuguese footballer has been heavily linked to a move to England, with Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United all interested in his signature....

In case you didn’t know… Longstaff, 21, enjoyed a breakthrough season for Newcastle United last term. Coming through the youth ranks, the youngster made nine appearances for Rafael Benitez’s side in 2018-19. In order to strengthen the Red Devils’ midfield options, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been tracking the English youngster. However, according to reports, Longstaff’s valuation of £50m stunned Manchester United. Speaking to the media ahead of the friendly game against Tottenham Hotspur, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer provided transfer updates regarding United’s ongoing transfer business....

Despite being linked with Fernandes during the entire summer, United decided not to opt for the midfielder in the end. However, it seems that the Red Devils have gone through a change of heart this month, amid injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay. The Portuguese midfielder was fantastic for Sporting Lisbon last season and has continued that exceptional form in the new term as well. United, on the other hand, have displayed a lack of creativity in the team on a regular basis, especially against teams that sit deep....

Roy Keane has identified an English midfielder as the missing piece for Manchester United’s midfield. The Red Devils are interested in a Southampton right-back. On that note, let’s take a look at the major Manchester United transfer stories from 19 September 2021. Roy Keane claims Declan Rice would improve Manchester United Roy Keane believes Declan Rice could be the missing piece of Manchester United’s midfield puzzle. The Englishman has been one of the rising stars of the Premier League and is among the finest defensive midfielders in Europe at the moment....

Manchester United have started their new season on a promising note. They have taken 13 points out of a possible 15 after the first five gameweeks. It’s quite a departure from their 2020-21 campaign, where they had picked up a meagre seven points after the first five games. There has been a lot more cohesiveness about Manchester United this season. The high-profile arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho have dovetailed with Solskjaer’s side’s overall development....

Clear chances were at a premium in a tight first half, Diogo Dalot’s improvised header from a Tyrell Malacia cross deflecting on to the roof of the net via Danny Ings in the home side’s best move. At the other end, McTominay was forced to head a viciously inswinging Douglas Luiz corner off the line with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka scrambling to cover. In contrast, the second half could scarcely have started more eventfully, Jacob Ramsey playing in Ollie Watkins to stride clear and clip over Dubravka within three minutes....

United proved to have too much attacking potency for their Championship visitors as Christian Eriksen’s neat finish put them 1-0 up before the break at Old Trafford. However, despite Burnley posing a threat on the counter-attack, it was one of United’s returning World Cup stars who sealed the win with 30 minutes left. Marcus Rashford’s driving run scattered the Burnley defence and the England forward powered home the clincher for Erik ten Hag’s charges....

After weeks of negotiations between Manchin, fellow moderate Democratic Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Democratic progressives and Democratic President Joe Biden, Manchin told reporters on Monday that he believed a framework on the spending package “should be” feasible this week. The package originally included $3.5 trillion in spending proposals when it was first unveiled. However, Manchin also said on Monday that he wants the package’s final cost to remain at $1....

Biden’s November nomination of Tanden, a key figure in drafting the Affordable Care Act during the administration of former President Barack Obama, was immediately controversial due to her history of fiery social media posts aimed at both Republicans and progressive Democrats. Opposition from Manchin, a moderate Democrat, greatly complicates her chances of being confirmed in the Senate due to Democrats holding a razor-thin majority in the upper chamber. “I have carefully reviewed Neera Tanden’s public statements and tweets that were personally directed towards my colleagues on both sides of the aisle from Senator [Bernie] Sanders to Senator [Mitch] McConnell and others,” Manchin said in a statement....

Italy begin their Euro 2020 qualification campaign on Saturday, with Finland their first opponents in Group J – a pool which also includes Greece, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Liechtenstein and Armenia. Injuries to Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Chiesa and Alessandro Florenzi have diminished Mancini’s options in the forward positions, meaning Juve’s Kean – who has only one substitute appearance for his country to his name – is in line for a full senior debut....

Luciano Spalletti’s third-placed Inter fall 14 points adrift of the leaders with the Derby d’Italia defeat a grave blow to their hopes of challenging for a first title since 2010. Unbeaten Juventus have 43 points from 15 games – 11 points ahead of second-placed Napoli who host lowly Frosinone on Sunday – with their only points dropped coming in a home draw against Genoa. World Cup runner-up Mandzukic’s diving header after 66 minutes off a cross from former Inter player Joao Cancelo was enough to decide the outcome at the Allianz Stadium....

The Reds enjoyed a positive opening to the 2017-18 campaign, as they entered the international break with a 4-0 mauling of Arsenal and seven points taken from three games. Liverpool 20/1 for PL title Jurgen Klopp’s side have, however, stumbled slightly of late, going four games in all competitions without a win. They are still only five points off the pace, but Mane says it is too soon to be discussing a possible tilt at the English top-flight crown....

Shown at tonight’s Game Awards, Maneater will allow players to upgrade a shark with the intention of munching on one of their favorite snacks: people. The trailer showed off a variety of sharks, some very simple and others with neon striping and other mutations. It seems reminiscent of the JAWS video game from the Xbox and PS2, though JAWS can be something of a voodo curse. Of course, the ability to actually evolve the sharks is a pretty interesting twist....

Manhattan’s 79-69 victory in Albany, N.Y., is just the latest chapter in this rivalry between New York City-area schools separated by about 9 miles. It’s the third straight year the two have locked horns in the MAAC championship. Iona won 60-57 in 2013, while the Jaspers earned revenge with a 71-68 victory last year.

On March 17, 876 victims of Iran-sponsored terrorism appealed a Manhattan federal court’s dismissal of their case against the Turkish bank that they claim helped Tehran avoid the financial consequences of its support for these terrorist attacks. The court ruled in February that the plaintiffs, who are U.S. citizens or foreign employees of the U.S. government targeted during their service to the United States, should pursue their case before a Turkish court instead, ignoring substantial evidence that Ankara is covering up the bank’s complicity in Iranian sanctions-busting schemes....

Mann does exhaustive research at the beginning of a project (he can still detail the sociology of Iroquois families, which he explored for the 1992 “The Last of the Mohicans”), and he meticulously helps prepare his actors. For his 1995 cop thriller “Heat,” there were intense interrogations before the cameras ever rolled; for “The Insider,” he had Russell Crowe, who plays Wigand the scientist, do chemistry experiments. Mann samples music early in the creative process, and uses still photographs to explore the look he wants....

The game, which is being played at Super Bowl 57 site State Farm Stadium, may not be overly compelling on paper, but there’s still a lot to sort out in the AFC in particular. The 4-8 Cardinals are more or less locked into spoiler status at this point, while the 6-6 Patriots are trying to keep pace with the Chargers and Jets in their wild card race. The Peyton and Eli Manning will have a guest list that features not one, but two players who are playing or have played in the NFL, along with Bill Simmons in a rare ESPN appearance....

What is Beijing so afraid of? Master Li, as he is known to his devoted followers, may be wacky, but he’s no counterrevolutionary. The dumpy, soft-spoken spiritual guru, whose principles are taken from a blend of Buddhist, Taoist and mystical beliefs, preaches “truth, benevolence and forbearance.” He also believes, among other things, that aliens inhabit the earth, and that he can give his followers a “celestial eye” with supernatural powers....

The Argentina great was appointed at Dynamo in May following investment in the club from the United Arab Emirates, signing a three-year deal to become the head of the club’s board. The 57-year-old’s last job in football was as a coach at Al Fujairah, who play in the United Arab Emirates’ second tier, and at Brest he joins a club that has just won its third Belarusian Cup. “I am not afraid of the challenge,” Maradona told reporters at his presentation to the media....
