Former United star Paul Ince takes his EFL Championship side to Manchester in search of an upset against Erik ten Hag’s in-form Red Devils.

Tierney has been instrumental in Celtic’s last two title-winning campaigns and has been tipped to follow the likes of Victor Wanyama and Virgil van Dijk in becoming a leading Premier League player after leaving Celtic Park. United and Tottenham have reportedly been looking at Tierney as a solution to their left-back position, and the 20-year-old has also been linked with a £20m move to Bournemouth. However, Hartson has laughed off that price tag and suggests that any offers for Tierney in that region would be quickly dismissed by Celtic....

Mou thanks ref for Herrera red card Mourinho has won all six of his previous meetings against Ajax, which came in the Champions League during his time as Real Madrid coach. After surviving a semi-final scare against Celta Vigo to book a date with Ajax in Stockholm on May 24, Mourinho was asked about his record against the Dutch giants. He told MUTV: “It means nothing. A final is a final and I played Ajax with Real Madrid all the six matches....

The trip to Old Trafford is effectively Jurgen Klopp’s team’s game in hand as they bid to open up a three-point lead over Manchester City, who play Chelsea in the League Cup final on the same day. Liverpool thumped United 3-1 at Anfield in the last match of Jose Mourinho’s reign on December but they are transformed under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and are back in the top four....

Some reports had suggested that the Serbia international had been given the green light to complete a move to Old Trafford this summer, with Jose Mourinho marking him out as a top target. United, though, are not the only side keeping a close eye on the talented 23-year-old. Lazio are also understandably reluctant to part with a prized asset and can be expected to fight hard to keep a much sought-after performer on their books....

Srikesh Kumar, 45, was in critical condition after he was hit by a motorcycle in Moradabad, the Agence France-Presse reported. Upon arrival at a private medical facility, he was declared dead and transported to a government hospital. “The emergency medical officer examined him. He did not find any signs of life and hence declared him dead,” Dr. Rajendra Kumar, the hospital’s medical superintendent, told Agence France-Presse. The doctor said police were informed of the man’s “death” before the body was placed in a morgue freezer....

On Thursday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld District Judge Ellen Shirer Kovach’s February ruling that Ronald Gasser could not be retried under a murder charge because it would be unconstitutional in a 2-1 panel vote. Gasser was initially charged with second-degree murder, but the jury came back with a lesser verdict for manslaughter. The Supreme Court ruled that the non-unanimous 10-2 vote in the verdict was unconstitutional and the case needed to be retired....

“The Theatre of Dreams” coats the inside of Old Trafford, a simple quote which is all that is needed to induce the memory of celebrating League titles, and a succession of victories and startling performances. It’s hard to believe that less than a year ago, euphoria of the 20th league title in the History of Manchester United Football Club, accompanied with tearful goodbyes in knowledge of the most successful and longest serving manager of the clubs history, had reached his own cut off point, and decided to call it a day....

Chelsea looked good value in the opening 10 minutes, but the club’s lack of potency up front eventually proved costly. Goals from Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and debutant Daniel James, were enough to put the Blues to the sword. Rashford snatched an early lead for the Red Devils, coolly slotting home a penalty in the 18th minute. Martial made it 2-0 after the restart before Rashford scored his second of the day with a deft finish after being played through by Paul Pogba....

Racic has a £92m release clause in his contract, which will probably not be met by any side in the current transfer window, considering the existing financial climate. However, given that the Spanish club themselves are in dire financial health, they are said to be willing to sanction a deal for a fraction of the release clause amount. Racic joined Valencia in 2018, but has really not been able to make any kind of impact for their first-team, with two loan spells so far, to Tenerife and Famalicao in successive seasons....

In case you didn’t know… After enduring a rocky first half of the 2018/19 season, Manchester United sacked Jose Mourinho in December.

United head to Bournemouth for Saturday’s Premier League match eighth in the table, two places below the in-form Cherries. Mourinho’s men finished second behind runaway champions Manchester City last season but are already nine points off the pace after 10 matches. And the Portuguese feels United have to battle back into the top four before they can think about joining a title race that is shaping up to include Liverpool and Chelsea....

The study, which is the 20th annual check on the finances of the planet’s top clubs, has placed the Red Devils in pole position ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Madrid slip to third having topped the standings when the previous edition was published 12 months ago. United’s income has jumped dramatically over that intervening period from £395.2 million to £515.3m. That gives them a significant advantage of over 10 per cent to second-placed Barcelona (£463....

Posting in Reddit’s “Am I The Ahole” (AITA) forum under the username u/AITA123Throw, the man wrote: “AITA for calling my brother an ‘inconsiderate, insecure, pompous dk?’” The post has received 7,700 upvotes and hundreds of comments slamming the man’s “disgusting” brother.

Mourinho was summoned at the end of September over allegations he defrauded the Spanish tax authorities of €3.3 million between 2011 and 2012 during his time in charge of Real Madrid. When the charges were announced in June, the 54-year-old’s representatives issued a statement denying he had been contacted by prosecutors, while insisting he had paid his taxes in full. United have been unable to offer clarification over whether Mourinho will attend the court hearing, set for 10am local time in Pozuelo de Alarcon, but the club’s pre-match media duties have been moved to Thursday lunchtime – a day earlier than usual....
