Manchester United’s youth team have been videoed answering football’s age-old debate of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo – and there was a clear winner. A clip of Man United’s youth team weighing in on Messi or Ronaldo makes for damning viewing for the former Old Trafford star. Of course, the Portuguese forward left the club in unceremonious style after giving an explosive interview to Piers Morgan. And it appears he’s damaged his reputation at Man United. Well, that’s judging by the answers the side’s youth team gave when they were asked to pick between the two football superstars. The presenter asked…

Enzo Fernandez has been told to show up to training on Tuesday by Benfica after the Chelsea target returned to Argentina without the club’s permission on New Year’s Eve. Fernandez, 21, has been linked with a move away from the Portuguese giants in recent weeks after playing a starring role in Argentina’s recent World Cup triumph.

As well as Chelsea, the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in Fernandez’ services;…

James Gunn’s current plans for the DCEU do not involve Johnson. However, Gunn did discuss with Johnson plans to work with his production company Seven Bucks and incorporate Black Adam into possible future storylines in the DCEU. Head honcho of Marvel, Kevin Feige, however, has taken an interest in Johnson and his talent.…

The MCU fandom largely consists of two main parts – those who support Captain America and those who are team Iron Man.

Even after being on the opposite ends of the ring in the Russo Brothers’ Captain America: Civil War, neither of them really defeated the other. But that information means as little to Joe Rogan as saving the universe does to Thanos, as the former is convinced that Iron Man would emerge glorious against Steve Rogers no matter what.…
