‘Sit on the floor!’ - Zlatan mocks Pogba The 35-year-old scored five times and added three assists in six appearances over the course of the month. United won five and drew another of those six games, with Ibrahimovic’s league tally now up to 13 for the season, just one behind Chelsea’s Diego Costa at the top of the scoring charts. He is the first United player to win the award this season, with Raheem Sterling, Son Heung-min, Eden Hazard and Costa the previous winners....

Mourinho: Ronaldo to Man Utd is impossible Manchester United meet the European champions twice ahead of the 2017-18 Premier League season, once in the International Champions Cup and again in the European Super Cup. Spaniard Herrera, who featured in Saturday’s 5-2 friendly win over LA Galaxy and afterwards dismissed links to Barcelona, is particularly looking forward to August’s Super Cup meeting in Skopje. “Madrid are the most powerful team of the moment,” said the midfielder, who helped Jose Mourinho’s side secure a return to the continent’s top table via the Europa League....

The 24-year-old has spoken previously of a wish to represent the Brazilian club, whose president admitted this month to having contacted the player personally. Pereira has been at United since 2011 and had been a mainstay in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans this season, making 37 appearances in all competitions before the campaign was halted by the coronavirus pandemic. While he remains keen to stay in Europe for now, with his United contract running until June 2023, Pereira yearns to win trophies with Santos before he retires....

Kick It Out has written to United about the song to the tune of the Stone Roses’ ‘Made of Stone’ which references the size of the Belgian striker’s manhood, saying its use of racist stereotypes should lead to action against those who join in with the chant. “The lyrics used in the chant are offensive and discriminatory. Racist stereotypes are never acceptable in football or wider society, irrespective of showing support for a player," said a Kick It Out spokesperson....

While much was said about Paul Pogba’s performance in particular against the old enemy, United will be looking for a much improved display from the one which saw them scrambling to record a late 1-1 draw last time out. And while the fixture list is set to become more hectic in the weeks to come, Jose Mourinho is likely to call upon his favoured players for the trip to the bet365 Stadium....

According to a statement issued by Undersheriff Travis Snyder at the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office, 911 operators received a call at around 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 8, informing them there had been a shooting at a residence in the 2000 block of Placer Road in Sunny Valley. The caller told operators he had “accidentally shot his brother while loading a gun because there was a bear on their property....

Soon, the word spread and he would charge a flat rate of $30 for two hours—with overtime at $10 an hour—to be the perfect boyfriend. There was no romance involved—his duties would involve looking after drinks, making sure his clients weren’t hassled, and even walking them to their taxis. He’d also simply pose as their boyfriend to ward off any unwanted attention. Von Nida, originally from Hawaii but now living in Edwardsville, Illinois, ran the unique business for 3 years between the ages of 23-26 while studying at college....

Lack of movement (like while you’re asleep at night) can lead you to wake up with painful and stiff joints in the morning. Healthy lifestyle habits that help to decrease inflammation and modifications to your morning routine like stretching and applying warmth can help relieve joint pain and stiffness in the morning. This article will discuss the connection between psoriatic arthritis and morning stiffness and how to find relief....

Acne Acne is actually very common in girls with PCOS due to high levels of androgens, such as testosterone. Talk to your doctor about a skincare routine, and consider using traditional over-the-counter acne treatments to control breakouts, such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. For persistent or severe acne, your doctor might prescribe medications like the birth control pill, Aldactone (spironolactone), or metformin to control your hormone levels and decrease acne....

Both achievements were iconic in their ways, one team which is the ultimate footballing team and can play any opposition out of the park, the other being an unstoppable force which never knew when they were defeated and were capable of picking up results from hopeless positions. Today, we put up a combined 11 of these two teams and discuss what tactics they’ll apply if they had played together....

They are on course to win 3 more trophies by the end of this year and will take some stopping. But yet, they aren’t quite the finished article, which makes this whole project extremely scary for rival teams and fans. At the helm of it is Pep Guardiola, a manager who has already won everything there is to win. In his hometown club Barcelona, Pep was lucky enough to inherit a squad that understood the Cruyff way, playing that style under his predecessor Frank Rijkaard....

The misconduct charge relates to City’s complaints after Liverpool were awarded a penalty 50 minutes into Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw between the two sides. Argentina continue press boycott The hosts’ players – including Yaya Toure and David Silva - fumed at referee Michael Oliver after Gael Clichy was adjudged to have fouled Roberto Firmino with a high boot in the box. James Milner subsequently scored from the spot, before Sergio Aguero’s equaliser earned a point for City at Eithad Stadium....

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak was quoted in Spanish media on Saturday as naming Barcelona superstar Messi as the player he most regretted failing to sign. The reports included suggestions that Al Mubarak, who has been in the role since 2008, had revealed he asked Pep Guardiola to discuss the compelling financial offer with his former player. But the Premier League champions have rejected the reports. “We deny the veracity of these quotes,” a City spokesperson said....

A study by the CIES Football Observatory shows Pep Guardiola’s Premier League leaders have spent more than any other team in Europe’s big five leagues, having made Aymeric Laporte their latest signing for a reported club-record fee of €65m in January. City’s investment eclipses that of Paris Saint-Germain, whose squad cost €805m, more than a quarter of which was spent on the world-record €222m deal to sign Neymar from Barcelona....

In a breathless return to action after the 2022 World Cup break, City took the lead on two occasions through Erling Haaland and Riyad Mahrez only to give it up to Fabio Carvalho and Mohamed Salah strikes. However, it proved third time lucky for Pep Guardiola’s men when Nathan Ake nodded in at the back post to carve out an advantage that the hosts ultimately held onto. That meant City marched into the last eight while Liverpool were left to take the positives from a performance they will hope to use as the basis for improvement in the second part of their campaign....

It’s been a very indifferent summer and start to the season for one of the biggest clubs on the planet. The win against the Black Cats saved David Moyes from the wrath of comments that can disturb the rhythm of any manager. A certain 18-year-old Adnan Janujaz took the game by its collar and turned around its outcome. But the question that’s eating the head of many Manchester United fans is: is this really a so-called transition phase that will pass, or is it the downfall of the Red Devils?...

As the dust settled on Manchester United’s disastrous European sojourn last March and they unceremoniously exited the Europa League at the hands of an effervescent Bilbao side, many United fans and neutral observers wondered what this meant in the larger context for United. Did it show an organic deficiency in the side which had led to the consistent ineffectiveness on the European stage over 6 months or was it just a one-off shock season?...

For Solskjaer though, the day had a bittersweet feel about it. He was up against the first club he managed in the Premier League, Cardiff City and they were also the first opposition for him as a United manager. The Red Devils blew the same opponents away with a 5-1 scoreline in the Norwegian’s first game in charge. Solskjaer would have loved a repeat of the same scoreline, to finish the season on a high....

United probed without reward in the first half, as they were thwarted by a diligent and well-organised Hull, playing for the second time under Jose Mourinho’s compatriot Marco Silva. Juan Mata went closest during the opening period for the hosts and, as he did in the fourth round against Manchester City, the Spain playmaker brought Old Trafford to its feet with the opening goal after half-time. Rooney pulled level with Bobby Charlton on 249 United goals during Saturday’s 4-0 FA Cup triumph over Reading and fired agonisingly wide five minutes before Mata’s 56th-minute breakthrough....

Those fans, though, were in for a disappointment as their team got absolutely battered by the Red Devils. Manchester United won the game 4-0 but the scoreline doesn’t really depict how the game went. The first half was dominated by Chelsea for large parts but they had nothing to show for the chances they created. United, on the other hand were clinical in front of goal and scored through Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Daniel James....
