FULHAM SAW triple red in one incident on a dramatic afternoon as Manchester United booked a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

LIONEL MESSI is reportedly set to be offered a £194-MILLION-A-YEAR deal to move to Saudi Arabia. The Argentine, 35, will become a free agent in the summer if he does not agree a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain. But while the French giants remain keen to secure a deal, Saudi chiefs are hoping they can lure the Barcelona legend to the Middle East.

A leopard jumps onto a warthog’s back. The warthog spins around and around to try and break free from the leopard’s grip. Alison Drake, a wildlife enthusiast, had always been fascinated by the dynamics of predator-prey relationships. So, when the moment presented itself in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, she knew she had to capture the moment. She shared it all with LatestSightings.com. Leopards are known for their love of warthog meat, and despite the danger, they will stop at nothing to get a taste of it. In fact, warthogs make up a significant portion of a leopard’s diet, and they are…

A baby lion becomes vegan after attempting to play with his siblings. His siblings reject him, and he turns to the grass for some attention. Lee Whittam from Essential Africa Guided Safaris was fortunate enough to capture this incredibly cute display on camera. He shared the story with LatestSightings.com. “After a few minutes of scanning the area, I spotted the pride of lions lying lazily under the shade of a nearby tree.

CASEMIRO was all smiles at Manchester United training this morning despite the prospect of his four-match ban. The Brazilian star and his team-mates are preparing to travel to Spain to face Real Betis in the second-leg of their Europa League last-16 clash.

Casemiro was sent off for the second time this season for a reckless tackle on Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday as the Red Devils were held to a goalless draw. United have already…

The 33-year-old respects the Argentine superstar’s achievements but is honest about the challenges he faces at a club like Paris Saint-Germain. “Against Messi, we always have good results at every level,” Thomas Muller told Kicker right after the 2-0 win over PSG on the morning of March 9. “At the club level, Cristiano Ronaldo was the big problem for us when he was playing for Real Madrid.

Real Valladolid president Ronaldo Nazario has taken to social media to condemn the racial abuse suffered by Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior at his club’s ground.

DAVID MOYES CAN put those dancing shoes away, it is Erik ten Hag on course to do another Wembley jig of joy. The West Ham boss joked before the game that he would emulate his opposite number by dancing on the pitch in delight, as Ten Hag did on Sunday, if he were to win the FA Cup. That won’t be happening after a dramatic comeback by Manchester United took them into the quarter-finals and keeps their quadruple dream alive. Behind to Said Benrahma’s 54th minute opener they were level through a Nayed Aguerd own goal on 77. The game looked to be…

HE may have only enjoyed a few minutes of action but Harry Maguire was not going to let that spoil the moment. The Manchester United centre-back is club captain after all and despite the fact he has lost his first-team place, the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle was still a big moment for him. Some may have taken to social media to scoff at the fact he was lifting the trophy with Bruno Fernandes, who had the armband on Sunday, having had such little involvement. But Maguire — who came on as an 88th-minute sub at Wembley — has not moaned about his lot, or sought…

The FIFA Best Awards on Monday brought with it an array of storylines, especially for those in Real Madrid colours. The Merengues were harshly done at the awards, with their UEFA Champions League exploits grossly overlooked and stars left unrecognised. While the World Cup was certainly the biggest event of the year, many feel that at least one of Thibaut Courtois, Karim Benzema, and Carlo Ancelotti should have been honoured with the title of ‘The Best.’ However, the most shocking part of the ceremony, undeniably, was when Vinicius Jr was not named a part of the FIFPro World’s Best XI on the night.…
