Michael Carrick Michael Carrick is far too experienced to get coaxed into giving away whether he wants to become Manchester United's next permanent manager. He is happier revealing his kids were in the away section at Emirates Stadium, joining the throng in a bout of unbridled glee when Matheus Cunha scored United's brilliant third and then again when the whistle went to confirm a 3-2 victory, their first win at Arsenal in eight years. We cannot know whether Carrick's two chi

Liverpool's Paddy Pimblett suffered heartbreak against Justin Gaethje in his quest to claim a UFC interim title as he lost on points to the American in Las Vegas. Pimblett, 31, was as  brave as he was bloodied  through five action-packed rounds that had both men swinging at the final bell. Gaethje rolled back the years for a vintage performance, forcing Pimblett to raise his game to a new level and fight fire with fire. Both men raised their arms at the end, but the judges ri

Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham  head coach Thomas Frank left Turf Moor to the sounds that are now becoming a familiar backing track to what looks an increasingly unsustainable tenure. Cristian Romero's last-minute header rescued a 2-2 draw just as  Burnley  looked on the brink of piling more embarrassment on the embattled Dane by securing their first win in 14 Premier League games. 'Dr  Tottenham ' – the jibe that suggests they can prescribe a cure for even the most serious ills

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has again urged Pakistan to withdraw from the ICC T20 World Cup, warning that the tournament would lose its credibility if Pakistan do not participate. “If Pakistan don’t go, everything will be toppled. It won’t remain a World Cup,” Latif said on the YouTube channel ‘Caught Behind’. “There can be matches

Man City striker Erling Haaland has managed only one goal in his past eight games The robot is malfunctioning and in need of a reset. Erling Haaland made a blistering start to the season but that prolific run of form has suffered a glitch. Though the  Manchester City  and Norway striker has scored a remarkable 39 goals in just 36 games for club and country this season, he has hit a sticky patch of form with only one goal in his past eight games. This has coincided with Pep Gu

Australian Open 2026 The past eight Grand Slam titles have been shared between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

But in that time their top 10 rivals have barely laid a glove on them. “It’s not a healthy situation to have a two-horse race,” Pat Cash, the 1987 Wimbledon champion, said to media at Australi

FIFA President Maybe Fifa president Gianni Infantino just thought he was making a light-hearted quip. But it fell flat in England. Referencing concerns about this year's World Cup in north America and criticism in the build-up to Qatar 2022, Infantino said: "For the first time in history, also, no Brit was arrested during a World Cup." To laughter at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, he added: "Imagine. This is something really, really special." Understandably the comm

Hendrickx, the incredibly consistent Belgian superstar, has now scored in all but one of Kalinga Lancers' matches this season, striking twice against Ranchi Royals on Friday to power his side into the title clash. It was always going to be that man. Alexander Hendrickx might not be top of the goalscoring charts, thanks to Kane Russell’s early flurry of hat-tricks, but the incredibly consistent Belgian superstar has now scored in all but one of Kalinga Lancers’ matches this se

Spanish La Liga Last weekend changed everything in La Liga. A title race in which Barcelona seemed in control was thrown open again. Let's take a look at how we got here. When La Liga restarted in January, Barcelona were top with 46 points, four clear of Real Madrid. The Catalans' return to form was impressive: two wins from two including a comfortable league victory over Espanyol and a place secured in the Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia.
