Christopher Wright had his hand torn off when it got caught in a machine in February 2021. After the incident, the 57-year-old from the West Midlands, England, was taken to hospital where surgeons reattached his hand. The procedure took 11-and-a-half hours, and was made possible because his hand was kept in a bag in the ambulance. Wright lost his little finger, and surgeons had to remove 6 centimeters (a little over 2 inches) from his arm to smooth out its surface so they could reattach his hand....

The Chile international has attracted serious interest from Manchester City, and is keen to move to the Etihad Stadium. Arsenal are subsequently ready to acquiesce to his desires, provided they receive an acceptable offer, though any bid will be a major hit on what they were offered in the summer.

It may be early days in the Premier League season but this is the kind of match the makes or breaks a team psychologically. When Manchester United lost the EPL crown to the Citizens in the 2011-12 season, the whole debacle began with United’s spectacular home loss to City after which they simply lost their bite. The reverse happened last season when United beat City at Etihad in the first half of last season, after which United had the run of their lifetime consistently winning matches in that busy December period....

They have lost their standing among the Premier League’s top teams; their dynasty of success long gone. Mou’s long-ball Utd an embarrassment There are – though – a couple of factors distorting perceptions of their place in the natural order. One: Jose Mourinho. The fallacy might go like this: Mourinho manages important clubs, Mourinho is managing Manchester United, therefore, Manchester United are an important club. His presence alone might lead some people to think that they’re back....
