Rio Ferdinand has aimed a dig at ‘touchy Arsenal people’ after the Gunners lost 1-0 at Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday. Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot as the Italian champions secured maximum points against the English runners-up. Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand covered the match as a pundit for TNT Sports alongside ex-Arsenal star Martin Keown and presenter Laura Woods.

It was remarkable that he wasn’t initially shown a red card but VAR stepped in and he was sent-off, with the Hammers going on to lose…

Manchester United are planning to ‘make moves’ in two areas under new boss Ruben Amorim in the January transfer window, according to reports. The Red Devils are targeting an ‘affordable striker’ as well as a new No.8 to play in central midfield, Sky in Germany’s transfer guru Florian Plettenberg has claimed. United are closely monitoring Leon Goretzka, although it is thought the Bayern Munich midfielder has no plans to leave the Bundesliga giants this winter.

Rockstar Games owner Take-Two is insisting that GTA 6 will be out next year as GTA 5 sales pass another milestone. Apart from last year’s trailer, developer Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two have said almost nothing about blockbuster-to-be GTA 6. Considering that trailer didn’t reveal much in the way of details, fans have continued to be starved for information, concocting elaborate theories on when a second trailer will be released. The long silence has also led to speculation and rumours of a delay, despite Take-Two’s assurance that GTA 6 will be out by the end of 2025. Now, the company…

George Clooney is the unlikely scapegoat of election backlash after he called for Joe Biden to resign from the US presidential election months ago. After gaining a conclusive lead, Trump passed the threshold of 270 electoral votes on October 6 to become the 47th president of the United States, leaving Kamala Harris voters crestfallen. He currently holds 296 electoral votes and is ahead in the popular vote. The actor, 63, wrote a viral op-ed for the New York Times in July where he directly called for Biden to step down from his candidacy in order to give the democrats a…
