Manchester City remain confident going into Saturday’s Premier League derby at Man United, despite a poor defeat at Southampton on Wednesday. Manchester City are eager to bounce back from their Carabao Cup exit on Wednesday night Manchester City immediately turned their attentions to Saturday’s derby at Manchester United after their humbling defeat at Southampton, with captain Ilkay Gundogan suggesting that the 2-0 loss can be a positive turning point in their season. City were toothless at Southampton, losing 2-0 and failing to register a shot on target in reply. Manager Pep Guardiola said after the game that the Blues have ‘no…

The striker has three aspects in his favour that Man United could benefit from. He won’t be first choice, but Weghorst might offer some needed qualities Wout Weghorst is the late Christmas present Manchester United fans were not expecting but are getting. The budget for this new year’s splash is rather dainty after the summer’s £225m spend. As a result, United have had to look into the loan market and find a cheap makeshift back-up striker for Anthony Martial. Weghorst, aged 30, is little more than a stop-gap ahead of a major summer coup but the player seems happy enough…

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2013 Ballon d’Or award was auctioned off for charity back in 2017, fetching a price of around £532,000 for the Make-A-Wish foundation from Israel’s richest man. With the real trophy reportedly on display at his Madeira museum, Ronaldo specifically asked for a replica to be made to sell at a charity auction in London, according to contemporary reports from Marca. Since winning the award five times at his peak, Ronaldo now plies his trade in the Saudi Pro-league after joining Al Nassr – although he could have joined rivals Al Hilal but for a transfer ban – but is yet to make his debut…

Archaeologists say they’ve finally solved the mystery surrounding King Tut’s ‘space dagger’. The unearthing of King Tut’s lost tomb is arguably one of the greatest — if not the greatest — archaeological discoveries in history. Though he was a relatively unknown historical figure until his final resting place was uncovered, today (per Biography) King Tut is probably history’s most recognizable pharaoh. Unlike some of his predecessors, it was not his exceptional reign as king that made him a household name. It was the uncovering of his tomb, and the invaluable treasures that lay inside. When archaeologists found King Tutankhamun’s golden mask…

It might be the time when James Gunn and Peter Safran may regret removing Henry Cavill from their DCU. Akin to a Superman-esque character, rumors of Marvel creating their own black Superman hero are abundant on the internet. Calling upon the character of Blue Marvel, the MCU could potentially compete with DC’s Man of Steel which has become an icon over the years. Following Henry Cavill’s exit, this might be the perfect time for Marvel to bring out their own version of Superman. Henry Cavill used to be Superman in the DCEU.Marvel To Bring Their Own Superman For a Battle?…

The Flash’s trailer from DC FanDome 2021 confirmed that Ezra Miller is playing two Barry Allens in the movie, and the DCU actor has opened up about their double portrayal.

While other variants of DC heroes have yet to appear, the two Barrys have been the…

A procession to move 22 royal mummies from one museum in Egypt to another has coincided with a number of strange incidents last week that some are blaming on Pharaoh’s curse.

Manchester United are reaping the rewards of Erik ten Hag’s no-nonsense approach to discipline, says goalkeeper Tom Heaton. United’s stars know the consequences if they cross the line with Ten Hag after Marcus Rashford became the latest player to be punished last month when he was dropped for the win at Wolves for oversleeping and missing a team meeting. Heaton, 36, is part of a leadership group of United players set up by Ten Hag to enforce a strict code of conduct, and the former England international believes it is having an effect on the pitch following a run of 11 wins in 12 games.

When it comes to the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate, most Argentines are in the same camp — that is, unless you’re Yamila Rodriguez. Messi inspired Argentina to World Cup glory at the end of last year and received a hero’s welcome when he returned to Rosario. Yet, despite being one of the most revered female players to don the blue and white stripes for her country, Rodriguez is actually team Ronaldo. Want proof? Well, the 24-year-old is such a keen admirer of the Portuguese star that she even has his face tattooed on her leg. It’s worth pointing out that Rodriguez had her tattoo…

In predictable fashion, Lionel Messi scored a beauty on his first start for Paris Saint-Germain since last month’s World Cup heroics – and fan footage of the goal is going viral. The 35-year-old made his highly-anticipated return to Paris last week after the most deserved 10-day break in history. On his arrival at Les Parisiens’ training base, Messi received a guard of honour from his teammates before being handed a gold-plated award to commemorate last month’s World Cup triumph. A week later and PSG manager Christophe Galtier decided it was time to give him some minutes in their Ligue 1 clash…

Pep Guardiola said Manchester City do not have a chance in Saturday’s clash with Manchester United if they replicate the shoddy performance that saw them dumped out of the Carabao Cup at Southampton tonight. City failed to register a shot on target for the first time in a match since April 2018 (against Liverpool) and Southampton deservedly advanced to set up a semi-final clash with Newcastle. Guardiola said his team were nowhere near their best and were second best against the Premier League’s bottom club. ‘The best team won,’ he said. ‘They were better. We didn’t play well. We had a bad start…

Antony left Ajax to reunite with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford last summer after Manchester United agreed to pay a mammoth transfer fee which could rise to £86million Old Trafford chiefs have acknowledged Manchester United paid over the odds to sign Antony from Ajax last summer, according to reports.

Antony, 22, scored his fifth goal for the Red Devils in their Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over Charlton before being taken off on the hour mark. However, the youngster has not made the impact the United hierarchy hoped he…

Already catching the eye of more than one Premier League club before the World Cup, Josko Gvardiol showed the world why so many were after him during the competition. The defender was one of his nation’s stars in Qatar, and while he did get turned around by Lionel Messi, he wasn’t the first and probably won’t be the last. Manchester City were one of the clubs after the Croatian, and while Chelsea and others have also taken a strong interest in the centre-back, it’s Pep Guardiola’s side who have the advantage. At least, that’s what Media Foot in France are reporting, who…

Erik ten Hag admitted that Manchester United’s three-goal winning margin over Charlton Athletic was ‘a little over the top’ as they beat the League One club to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals. United missed a series of chances at Old Trafford and Antony’s excellent strike was all that separated the two teams until the 90th minute when substitute Marcus Rashford made it 2-0 and then added a third deep into injury-time. ‘We weren’t clinical enough in front of goal,’ said Ten Hag. ‘We need more effectiveness there because we create good chances in the first half hour. Erik ten Hag admits Man United’s 3-0 win over…
