L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs FCSB|Europa League| Engl!sh commentary   Seeking to secure automatic qualification for the last 16 of the Europa League, Manchester United travel to Romania to take on FCSB at the National Arena in their final League Phase fixture on Thursday night. The two teams will face each other for the very first time in Bucharest and are separated by only one point in the 36-team standings. It has been far from a bed of roses at Old Trafford since the arrival of Ruben Amorim, but positives can be taken from Man United’s run of three wins in their last four matches across all competitions, even if their performances were far from convincing. Since Amorim labelled his Red Devils squad as “maybe the worst” in the club’s history following a 3-1 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League, Man United have won by a one-goal margin in their last two matches, with a 2-1 Europa League victory over Rangers last week followed by a 1-0 success at Fulham on Sunday...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Fulham|Prem!er league|Engl!sh commentary  Manchester United could use a routine win over Fulham as they look to turn the corner but recent history suggests that’s unlikely to arrive on Sunday evening. The Red Devils are alarmingly close to the relegation zone having failed to make any improvements since Ruben Amorim’s arrival in the dugout, with the Portuguese coach lambasting his side after last weekend’s dismal defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. A similar display at Craven Cottage could result in Man Utd’s first defeat at the stadium in almost 15 years, with defensive injuries only exacerbating Amorim’s issues. He will be hopeful that Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes can provide some more game-changing moments in the capital this weekend. Here is how Amorim could line his Man Utd side up in west London. Man Utd predicted lineup vs Fulham (3-4-2-1) GK: Andre Onana – The goalkeeper’s absolute howler proved costly...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Rangers| Europa League| Engl!sh commentary  Manchester United are looking for a reaction when they host Rangers in a huge Europa League clash on Thursday. Ruben Amorim’s side sit seventh in the Europa League table heading into this week’s penultimate round of first-stage fixtures but are certainly not guaranteed an automatic knockout berth just yet Indeed, their performance in Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Brighton was alarming. Amorim even labelled his side as “maybe the worst Manchester United team in history”, further underlining the scale of the challenge at hand. United entertain Rangers at Old Trafford on Thursday and it remains to be seen quite how many changes Amorim makes. Luke Shaw is believed to be closing in on a return from injury, although none of Mason Mount, Jonny Evans or Victor Lindelof are expected to feature. Man Utd predicted XI: Bayindir; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainoo; Dalot, Diallo; Fernandes, Zirk...

L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb| Champ!ons League| Engl!sh commentary   On the cusp of sealing their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, Arsenal’s final home match of the league phase sees the Gunners take on Dinamo Zagreb in Wednesday’s Emirates encounter. The Gunners have only been out-performed by Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen in this season’s league phase so far, while their Croatian visitors sit just inside the unseeded playoff positions and are now under the wing of a World Cup-winning captain. After Arsenal ended their lengthy exile from Europe’s top table, Champions League matches at the Emirates Stadium have provided the Gunners with safe haven, having not been beaten once on home soil in the competition since their Bayern Munich humiliation in 2017. In fact, the 2-2 draw with the Bavarian giants in last season’s quarter-final first leg remains the only time that Arsenal have conceded at home in the Champions League under Mikel Arteta, who has ov...

L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Brighton|Prem!er League| Engl!sh Commentary   Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim should not shy away from making a few changes for Sunday's Premier League battle with Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford. The Red Devils' 3-1 scoreline against Southampton on Thursday did not tell the full story, as they found themselves a goal down with 10 minutes of normal time remaining before Amad Diallo's heroic hat-trick. Diallo - fresh from signing a new contract - was one of just a few starters to justify his spot in the first XI, despite having to function as a wing-back first and foremost thanks to Diogo Dalot's suspension. However, the Portuguese is now back from his ban and should slot straight back into the starting lineup at left wing-back, allowing Noussair Mazraoui to bomb down the right and Diallo to function further forward. The Ivory Coast international will no doubt work in tandem with Bruno Fernandes, but Joshua Zirk...

  L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Manchester United vs Southampton|Prem!er League| Engl!sh commentary  Manchester United are looking for their first Premier League win in over a month when they take on Southampton this weekend. Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Sunday, welcoming relegation-bound Southampton. Southampton, managed by Ivan Juric, comes into this game whilst sat at the bottom of the Premier League table. However, after beating Swansea City in the FA Cup, the Reds will be hoping to bring the Saints back down to reality. Ruben Amorim will be keen to get back to winning ways in the league. His last victory in the Premier League came when United beat Man City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium. United beat Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup third round last weekend, and drew 2-2 away at Liverpool in their most recent league outing. The United head coach will be forced to make changes from the FA Cup win. Andre Onana Although Altay Bayindir was the hero at the Emirates, Andre Onana...

  Serena Williams is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest tennis players, male or female, of all time. With 23 Grand Slams to her name and four Olympic gold medals (three in doubles), the retired star wrote her name in history. While she has hailed Steffi Graf as one of the best players ever, when it comes to the men’s side, she has a clear favorite between Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.  Back in 2021 in a press conference during the Emilia-Romagna Open in Parma, the younger Williams sister was asked to weigh in on the GOAT debate (via Forbes). “I think two words sum it up: Roger Federer,” Williams said of the Swiss Maestro.  “He’s just a synopsis of greatness and class and amazing and really changed the game. You see players playing like him, moving like him, doing his techniques. The guy is (a) genius,” she described Federer, while admitting that she was a “superfan” of the Swiss, who retired in 2022.

  The two most successful clubs in FA Cup history collide in a blockbuster third-round encounter on Sunday afternoon, as Arsenal host defending champions Manchester United at the Emirates. The Gunners boast an unrivalled 14 triumphs in the competition but have disappointed since last conquering the cup in 2020, while the Red Devils endeavour to retain the crown they clinched courtesy of their shock success versus Manchester City several months back. A competition that will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Gooners across the globe, the FA Cup has provided the Arsenal faithful with some of their most cherished memories over the years, from the trio of triumphs during the twilight of Arsene Wenger’s reign to the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang-inspired beating of Chelsea five years back. However, since lifting the trophy aloft at Wembley during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Gunners have seen their FA Cup powers wane, suffering two third-round and two fourth-round exi...
