The players wore shirts with names of 11 lucky mascots before kick off. Their new £47 million-per-year shirt sponsors Chevrolet have put together a campaign called ‘What Do You #PlayFor?’ on social media outlets, which is aimed at bringing the club closer to its fans. The mascots’ names were in connection with this campaign. The club has a fan-base of 659 million people across the globe, according to a survey done in 2012....

Under Ole’s management, the Red Devils passed a joyful first half, with some outstanding away victories against Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. The almost impossible glorious victory at Parc Des Princes convinced the United board to hire the Norweigan as the permanent coach. After that though, Ole has hardly maintained to bring such kind of jolly outcomes for Man United. With 65 points from 36 matches, United are in the 6th position on the Premier League’s points table....

It was a great start to the game for the home side as United scored within the opening four minutes of the match. The goal came from some sheer work of brilliance by Marcus Rashford which was finished off by Paul Pogba. Bournemouth pushed for the equalizer putting in a couple of dangerous crosses from the right side. However, it was Paul Pogba again who headed in from a Herrera’s cross to double the lead for the Red Devils....

In a post shared on Monday on Reddit, the man, under the username u/innundatedwithbros, explained that he and his girlfriend were held at gunpoint by an armed robber after going to a party. He said she put their lives in danger by not complying with the robber. He said: “She refused to give him her phone or purse. She decided that the best course of action was to argue with him....

But City have their own demons to deal with following Wednesday’s 3-0 Champions League loss to Liverpool at Anfield, and while Pep Guardiola will be mindful of the task ahead of them in Tuesday’s second leg he will also want his side to bounce straight back with a confidence-boosting double of derby triumph and title win heading into the return fixtures with the Merseysiders. For Jose Mourinho and his men this is a chance to measure themselves against the runaway leaders, and United’s fans will want their players to delay the inevitable for at least a week by doing a job on their neighbours....

Minnesota is the second state to identify a case of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, discovering their first case just a day after California found the first in the nation. Officials worry Omicron may be more transmissible and potentially reduce the effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics. The Minnesota man tested positive for COVID-19 on November 24 and told Minnesota Department of Health investigators that he attended the Anime NYC 2021 convention at the Javits Center from November 19-21....

The parent goes by Diana_FooFoo on Reddit. Her post on Tuesday about her daughter having to choose between her $10-per-hour, 10-hour-per-week job and the academic program has been upvoted over 41,000 times in the “Anti-Work” forum. According to the woman, her daughter—whose place of work was never mentioned—requested a month off from her job to attend an international program. But on Tuesday her daughter’s manager approached her and inquired why she needed all that time off, telling her a decision had to be made by Wednesday on her future....

Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden put the home side 3-0 up in the first half. Jefferson Lerma’s own goal in the second half sealed the win for Pep Guardiola’s team. Manchester City started strong and went close twice within the first five minutes. Nathan Ake and Rodri both stooped to meet corners but steered their headers over the bar. Eight minutes in, Mark Travers, in the Bournemouth goal, was called into action after Foden broke free inside the box....

Domestic wise Manchester City had a superb season as they won the Premier League and League Cup while missing out on the FA Cup. But continental wise, it was more of a poor result than expected, as they crashed out in the quarterfinal after their defeat against Liverpool. The reigning champions have reinforced their squad with the signing of former PFA’s Player of The Year Riyad Mahrez as they aim to add continental success along with domestic success....

City’s first home game sees Tottenham visit the Etihad Stadium the following weekend, while they do not face expected title rivals Liverpool until November with the return date, which City host, set for early April. A testing run of games from late February - clashing with the Champions League knockout rounds - sees City face Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool within five league fixtures. But City, who won their last 14 games to see off Liverpool’s challenge last term, appear to have a more straightforward run-in than the Reds on paper with Pep Guardiola’s men ending the campaign at home to newly-promoted Norwich City....

A City side showing seven changes from the 2-1 weekend win over Fulham were on the front foot for long periods during the opening 45 minutes, but the best chances fell to Chelsea as Stefan Ortega denied Christan Pulisic and impressive teenage wing-back Lewis Hall at close quarters. Pep Guardiola’s men made good on their keeper’s fine work when Mahrez drew a clumsy found from Trevoh Chalobah and dispatched a 53rd-minute effort via a nick off Armando Broja in the defensive wall....

Manchester United will look to strengthen their squad in the summer after a disappointing Premier League campaign this season. Although they are in contention to finish in a Champions League position, fighting for top 4 is not good enough for a club of Manchester United’s stature. They will be looking to strengthen specific positions on the pitch and right-wing is one of the positions they need to address in the summer....

The teams both came in with 4 wins out of 5, making the prospect of a match up all the more enticing. The game started frantically, as VAR intervened to deny both sides (rightfully) a goal within the first 6 minutes. Both sides’ stars, Fernandes and De Bruyne came close to the opener. They were denied by a spectacular save and the framework of the goal respectively. The first half showed warning signs for United, but the game went in level at half-time....

John Stones and Fernandinho were the unlikely goalscorers for the defending champions. The pair bagged second-half strikes to ensure that Manchester City would be making their fourth straight appearance in the final of the cup competition. An evenly-contested first half saw the ball hit the back of the net thrice, twice for City and once for United, only for VAR to disallow all three efforts. Kevin de Bruyne hit the post while Bruno Fernandes forced a diving save from Manchester City goalkeeper Zack Steffen as both sides went into the break on level terms....

Never have Manchester United fans cheered so loudly upon winning a third round tie of the Capital One Cup, as they did on Tuesday. After being drowned by the noise of a certain noisy neighbour, the Red Devils resumed action at Old Trafford for the third round of Capital One Cup marking a turning of times for both the clubs, albeit for very different reasons. While Brendan Rodgers welcomed back EPL bad-boy Luis Suarez in the starting line-up, David Moyes brought on a tide of new faces hoping to find alternatives....

Rashford scored the third and the substitute Lukaku added the fourth goal for the Red Devils. Bournemouth lacked ideas and their away form has been dismal in the past couple of months. Though they scored a goal in the dying moment of the 1st half, they never looked like a team who can beat the surging United. It was not all rosy for United though as Eric Bailly received red-card for a late challenge on Ryan Fraser....

It is understood a fee of just under £73 million ($101 million) has been agreed to between the two parties with the England international now set to undergo a medical before the transfer is completed. He will sign a five-year contract at Old Trafford, with the option for a further 12 months. The two clubs have been negotiating over a fee for a few months, with Dortmund rejecting United’s bid of £67m at the start of June....

Widespread claims on Thursday said that the Red Devils are one of the favorites to sign Varane, who could leave Real Madrid this summer. It was suggested England suggested they had launched an opening bid of £50m for the French defender. The bid was, however, turned down by Los Blancos as they expect a fee of £70m. Varane has long been admired by the Red Devils and they will try to reach a compromise to sign him this summer....

Eriksen, 30, made his return to the Premier League in late January, joining Brentford on a short-term deal. He impressed during his time with the Bees, making 11 league appearances, scoring a goal and contributing four assists. Following the expiration of his deal with Brentford, two teams that have been linked with a move for Eriksen are Manchester United and his former club Tottenham Hotspur. The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that the Red Devils have now made an offer to the Danish midfielder to join Erik ten Hag’s United on a free transfer....

Speaking after Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Leicester City in the Charity Shield, courtesy a late Zlatan Ibrahimovic winner, Mourinho defended his decision that was seen as harsh in some quarters. Mata was a 63rd minute subtitute, but was pulled off in injury time, with the Spaniard looking visibly frustrated. Also Read : 5 reasons why Jose Mourinho should keep Juan Mata Mourinho acknowledged that taking Mata off was not nice, saying “I know I did something which is not nice to do which is replace Mata, but he’s happy now....
