ERLING HAALAND’S critics have been blasted by Andy Cole. And the Manchester United legend is backing the Man City star to break his goal record this season. Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm following his £52million summer move from Borussia Dortmund. The striker has netted an incredible 34 goals this term, with 28 coming in the league. But some pundits like Jamie Carragher believe Haaland is proving to be an awkward fit at the Etihad, with Pep Guardiola’s side trailing Arsenal in the league despite the Norwegian’s exploits. The Liverpool icon has even suggested Haaland joined the wrong club. However, Cole believes criticism of…

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are plotting an ambitious £175million move for Erling Haaland, according to reports. The French champions were dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich earlier this week. In the aftermath of their latest European disappointment, PSG chiefs are plotting a rebuild ahead of next season. It’s claimed that they could move on from Neymar and Lionel Messi – with the latter still being linked with Inter Miami despite PSG contract talks. In their bid to re-tool around Kylian Mbappe, they could turn to Haaland. According to French reporter Daniel Riolo, PSG could “begin a new story” around Mbappe and City’s Norwegian striker. Chatting to Football.fr, he admitted that there are doubts…

THOMAS TUCHEL was sacked by Chelsea for “off-field reasons” and because the players “lost respect” for him – and is now trying to stop his ex-wife revealing the details, reports claim. The German coach, 49, was dismissed by Blues owner Todd Boehly in September and replaced by Graham Potter. It came following a run of three wins in seven games, with the sacking put down to poor results and differences of opinion. But Bild has now revealed an alternative theory regarding his departure from Stamford Bridge – following a hearing at a Munich district court after his separation from wife, Sissi. According to the German…

WILLIAN has admitted that he regrets leaving Chelsea for Arsenal in 2020. The winger left Stamford Bridge after seven years to join the Gunners on a free transfer. He failed to replicate his Chelsea form at the Emirates, however, and would leave after just one season. Willian, 34, left Arsenal for Corinthians in 2021 – before surprisingly returning to the Premier League with Fulham this season. Ahead of the Cottagers’ clash with Mikel Arteta’s side tomorrow, Willian chatted to Sky Sports about his time at Arsenal. Asked if he regrets leaving Chelsea for the Gunners in 2020, he said: “Yeah. I wish I’d never left. “Of course it’s…

GARY LINEKER made the most of a rare Saturday off with a trip to watch his beloved Leicester. Well if he gets another any time soon, they should ask him to bring his boots because even 30 years after he last kicked a ball, you’d still back his finishing to outshine most of these. The fact Chelsea nabbed all three points was fair enough, given the general balance of play. But the Foxes still had more than enough clear sights of goal to have got something out of it – and they blew all of them bar one. Lineker, the deadliest striker this club…

CARLOS TEVEZ has revealed the brutal manner in which he told Sir Alex Ferguson he was ditching Manchester United for Manchester City in 2009. The Argentine left the Red Devils for their noisy neighbours after two trophy-laden years at Old Trafford. Tevez, now 39, was in and out of the starting XI during his second campaign – following the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham. And before United’s Champions League final clash with Barcelona in Rome, the forward had made his mind up. Speaking to ESPNF10, as per Argentine-focused reporter Roy Nemer, Tevez revealed: “I was on loan at United. “Ferguson told me that they were going to…

ERIK TEN HAG invited youngster Dan Gore and three other Manchester United academy stars to first-team training this week. Marc Jurado, Omari Forson, and Sam Murray were the other starlets – but it was Gore’s inclusion which was the most interesting. Back in November, the midfielder, 18, clashed with Anthony Martial in a training session during the World Cup. That could have made this week’s session all the more interesting – given their history. The pair’s furious exchange was sparked when Gore flew into a tackle on the French forward. Dutch tactician Ten Hag had told his squad that tackles on the first team…

CASEMIRO saw red for the second time in eight games as ten man Manchester United could only draw against Southampton. The Brazilian turned sinner against The Saints with a 32nd minute challenge on Carlos Alcaraz that saw him sent-off after referee Anthony Taylor reviewed the incident on the pitch-side screen. He will now miss four games with it being his second sending off of the season which is a major blow to the Red Devils. Despite being a man down for over an hour of play, including injury time, United still could have snatched this, as could the visitors. While it was…

Rush Limbaugh’s widow has sold his stunning Palm Beach mansion for $155million after quietly listing it last year. Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, 46, quietly listed the lavish waterfront property last year for $150million to $175million. The long-time Palm Beach, Florida, resident sold the property in a record deal of $155million. It sets a new record for Palm Beach, with the last biggest sale being $129.6million for four parcels in 2013 by hedge-funder Ken Griffin, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Rush, who died in 2021 from lung cancer, bought the property in 1998 for $3.9million, which was purchased through a trust tied to Kathryn, according…

MOHAMMED SALAH skied a penalty as Liverpool are beaten 1-0 at the Vitality. Cherries top scorer Philip Billing gave Bournemouth the lead in the first half. The penalty would only have spared the club’s blushes after Philip Billing’s epic 28th-minute opener for Bournemouth. The Reds would have gone into the game thinking they could have not claimed such an emphatic win against United at a better time. And they must have been licking their lips at the idea of a trip to rock-bottom Bournemouth – who they thrashed 9-0 earlier in the season. After all, we enter the business end of the season,…

EDERSON caused a stir on social media with his choice of socks during Manchester City’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Some eagle-eyed fans went into total meltdown when they noticed that the City goalkeeper was actually wearing Palace’s away socks at Selhurst Park. The Brazil international had to don white socks because the blue ones he was supposed to have would’ve clashed with the Eagles’ home socks. That didn’t go unnoticed during the game as fans took to Twitter to express their shock. One tweeted: “Ederson’s socks are throwing me off.” Another posted: “Has Ederson borrowed somebody’s socks?” A third wrote:…

The devastating ‘Pineapple Express’ storm continues to batter California, with as much as 13 inches of rain falling in one county Friday, destroying roads and killing a warehouse worker. The huge storm first hit the West Coast on Thursday evening, placing 21 counties under a state of emergency while evacuation orders were issued in several coastal counties. More than 9,000 California residents were under evacuation orders Friday, California Office of Emergency Services Director Nancy Ward confirmed. There are also 15 shelters open throughout the state. Ward also stated that two other deaths from previous weeks were confirmed to be caused by…

RIO FERDINAND revealed the BRUTAL way Sir Alex Ferguson axed Roy Keane. The pair had an infamous falling out at Old Trafford following the Irishman’s rant about young players not performing in 2005. During a never-aired MUTV interview, Keane is alleged to have laid into several players individually. It put him on the warpath with Ferguson though, who had a heated exchange with Keane, whose contract was running down anyway. The midfield commander was then told he had to leave United and Ferguson was left to inform the players of his departure. Ferdinand recalled: “The club didn’t want [it] to go out, the manager thought it was…

Margot Robbie solidified her reputation as one of Hollywood’s most glamorous actresses as she arrived at the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday night. And while the Babylon star was a picture of elegance on the red carpet, a small detail on her face serves as a reminder of her wilder years. A closer look at the 32-year-old’s near-flawless visage shows she has a small scar on her nostril from where she used to have a stud piercing in her teens and twenties. Margot, who began her career on Australian soap opera Neighbours before her big break in The Wolf of Wall Street, removed the stud…

The United States Air Force released stunning new images of its B-21 Raider bomber, a nuclear-capable craft and the first of its kind to be introduced since the end of the Cold War. The next-generation stealth bomber was publicly unveiled at a ceremony in California last December. Two new photos of the B-21 Raider were shown off Tuesday at the 2023 Air and Space Forces Warfare Symposium in Aurora, Colorado. Air Force Global Strike Commander Thomas A. Bussier called the craft the ‘future backbone of the bomber fleet,’ at the event. The United States will have a minimum of 100 of the B-21 Raiders – which have…

Kim Kardashian shared several photos and videos to her Instagram stories showing off her extravagant backyard garden. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 42, took her 347M followers on a tour around her lavish gardens at her home in California and showed off the assortment of flowers, fruits, and vegetables she has. The beauty – who was recently praised by fans for posting a makeup-free selfie – mentioned in her video that she was on an ‘afternoon walk in the garden.’ She walked past rows of fruit trees and zoomed in on a name card that read ‘Minneola Tangelo,’ which is a type of citrus. As…

MANCHESTER UNITED got Real last night as they put the horror show at Anfield behind them. That 7-0 defeat to their bitterest rivals Liverpool had cast a dark cloud over Carrington and Old Trafford since Sunday. One defeat in 22 games prior to the trip to Liverpool and one trophy in the bag had suggested all was well in the world for the Red Devils. The trip to Anfield had been not so much a wake up call but a bucket of iced water over the head. But beneath the lights in this Europa League last 16 first leg they got back on track to the sunny…

Margot Robbie later went on to defend the full-frontal scenes she was involved in during the shooting of The Wolf of Wall Street movie. Margot Robbie is best known as the Oscar-nominated actor behind I, Tonya and Bombshell, as well as her memorable performance as Harley Quinn in DC Studios movies. But she wasn’t always destined to grab these prestigious gongs. After starring in The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013 (which you can watch for free on Amazon Prime Video using the link below), her career was at risk of going nowhere after producers felt she was pigeonholed as a “sex symbol”…

Cristiano Ronaldo fans are in for a treat should they watch girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez’s new Netflix show as the Portuguese’s stunning £18m garage of supercars was revealed. The Manchester United star is famous for his mega-expensive motors – and cameras for the I Am Georgina docuseries displayed the vast array of supercars at Ronaldo’s £5m home in Madrid. The snippets from the programme show the supercars lined up exquisitely in the neat garage, with Ronaldo’s £2m Bugatti Chiron at one end of a shot. Yet that is not even close to the 36-year-old’s most expensive car, with that prize going to a limited-edition Bugatti Centodieci worth £8.5m -…

MARCUS Rashford leads from the front as he plays keepy-uppy with his dogs in a park. The Man United striker, 23, took Cane Corso Saint and another of his pooches along for a kickabout with friends in Cheshire. Marcus was kitted out in an all Nike outfit with beanie, tracksuit and trainers for the stroll. Rashford was yesterday named in England boss Gareth Southgate’s provisional 33-man squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 tournament. Earlier this month The Sun on Sunday revealed he had split with long-term girlfriend Lucia Loi. SOURCE: thesun.co.uk

Chelsea star’s path to the big time from obscurity is one of huge commitment, and now the modest midfielder is favourite to be PFA player of the year N’GOLO KANTE is on his way to winning two Premier League titles in consecutive seasons – and is favourite to become PFA player of the year. Since arriving at Leicester less than two years ago, he has gone from virtual unknown to a cult hero and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League – if not the world. He has also become a mainstay of the France international side – a dream, which just a short while…

REBORN Romelu Lukaku has finally made the move back to Chelsea from Inter Milan. The Belgium star, 28, was desperate for a move to Stamford Bridge this summer and made the switch on Thursday for a club record fee of £97.5m on a reported contract of £325,000-per-week. Lukaku believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League, after failing to establish himself in West London first time round. The powerful centre forward has rejuvenated his career in Serie A – scoring 64 goals in two seasons to become one of the world’s most feared strikers. He’s come a long way since his tough childhood growing…

HE WROTE a book, became a dad and made his debut for Brazil’s Under-23s — all at the grand old age of 19. So Manchester United should not be too worried about whether winger Antony — their new arrival from Ajax — is mature enough to handle being the third most expensive signing in the club’s history. Yet £84million is still a hell of a lot for a player who has made a massive name for himself but outside one of Europe’s so-called top five leagues. It is still a risk. Set to feature in Dutch football’s biggest-ever transfer, Antony, 22, has nevertheless repeatedly…

NASA has warned a city-destroying asteroid about the size of the Leaning Tower of Pisa could hit Earth on Valentine’s Day in 2046. 2023 DW, confirmed February 28, has a one in 560 chance of impact on February 14 at 4:44 pm ET – but where it will fall is not yet known. The predicted impact zones stretch from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and the west to the east coast of the US – with Los Angeles, Hawaii and Washington DC as possibilities. The collision of the 165-foot 2023 DW with our planet would be comparable to the Tunguska 12-megaton event…
