Teenager Henderson is now eligible for Man Utd’s clash with champions Leicester City on Sunday, with no further details of Pereira’s injury having been given. Henderson joined Grimsby in August but had his loan extended in January and has kept three clean sheets in his last four games for the League Two side....

Having moved from Molde FK to Austrian heavyweights RB Salzburg, Haaland has been in red-hot form so far this season. In eight Austrian Bundesliga games so far he has scored 11 goals, and 17 in 10 games across all competitions.

“Romelu is a natural fit for Manchester United. He is a big personality and a big player,” United manager Jose Mourinho said in a statement. “It is only natural that he wants to develop his career at the biggest club. He will be a great addition to the group and I know they will make him very welcome. I am really looking forward to working with him again.” British media reported that the fee for the 24-year-old is about 75 million pounds ($97 million), making him the Old Trafford club’s second most expensive signing after last year’s world record deal for France midfielder Paul Pogba....

United are back in the traditional European season curtain-raiser against Real Madrid in Skopje on Tuesday after winning the Europa League last term.

Diego Simeone’s side showed steel on the night to seal a 1-0 Round of 16 road win as the inquest begins on Ralf Rangnick’s future at Old Trafford and the direction the club is heading.

Manchester United are 6th in the league table with 32 points, while Bournemouth holds the 12th position as they have gathered 26 points from 19 matches this season in the Premier League.

The Red Devils’ 12 points so far mean they need only one more to claim top spot, with a 6-0 defeat and a complex three-way tiebreaker the only way in which they could be denied a place in the knockout stage. They may have to make it through the match with a patched-together squad, however, as they battle injury problems ahead of this weekend’s derby against Manchester City. TV CHANNEL & LIVE STREAM In the UK, the match will be available to watch live on television on BT Sport 2 and by stream via the BT Sport app....

The Red Devils were soundly beaten by Mauricio Pochettino’s side at Wembley on Wednesday, picking up their fourth league defeat of the season in a 2-0 turnover. In Huddersfield, they come up against another side who has punished them this season, the Terriers having won 2-1 in the corresponding fixture back in October. While revenge and a desire to bounce back will be on their mind, it will also be a solemn occasion for the club as they commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster....

Sancho will be allowed to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer for around £80 million, which is a lot lower than the club’s £108million valuation of him last summer. Manchester United opened talks with Sancho and his representatives last summer, only to see the deal collapse as they couldn’t match Dortmund’s valuation. The Red Devils are expected to match Dortmund’s asking price this summer though, and as per Sport1, negotiations with the player and his agent will not be complicated considering they’ve already held talks in the past....

It was the first competitive win for the four-time world champions since a 1-0 victory over Albania in World Cup qualifiers on October 9, 2017. That was followed by the devastating failure to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 60 years after a playoff defeat to Sweden at the San Siro in November last year.

Mann’s hero, Hawkeye, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, stands outside the fray, committed to neither side. Raised by Mohicans after the death of his English parents, and more at home in the backwoods than in a Colonial settlement, he’s traveling with his adoptive father, Chingachgook (Russell Means), and brother, Uncas (Eric Schweig), when he rescues two English sisters, Cora (Madeleine Stowe) and Alice (Jodhi May), from an ambush by tomahawk-wielding Hurons....

Star receiver Beckham was traded by the Giants in March, dealt to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Jabrill Peppers and draft picks. Now at home in Cleveland, Beckham suggested in an interview with GQ that he “kept New York’s brand alive” and was the “main reason” the Giants continued to receive primetime coverage even though they missed the NFL playoffs in four of his five seasons. Giants veteran Manning, however, said he is not bothered by Beckham’s comments....

For the Rams, the situation is even worse. The defending Super Bowl champions have been decimated by injuries, with Matthew Stafford likely out for the year and Cooper Kupp missing significant time.

Pacquaio trainer Freddie Roach scraps with Rios' posse, leaving a video that gets heavy viewership while turning the air blue with F-bombs. Throw in the possibility of assault charges and you've got the makings of pay-per-view dynamite. Not that the men in charge were happy.
