Leny Yoro appears to be closing in on his return to action after being pictured in Manchester United first-team training this morning. The 18-year-old, widely regarded as one of the finest young defenders in European football, joined United in a £52million move from Ligue 1 outfit Lille back in mid-July. The deal saw Yoro become the most expensive footballer aged 18 or younger and one of the most expensive centre-backs in the history of the game. But Yoro broke his foot during United’s pre-season friendly match with Arsenal, just a fortnight after signing for the Red Devils, and the teenager…

Victory Gyokeres has had plenty of opportunities to show off his unique goal celebration at Sporting, but what is the inspiration behind it? The 26-year-old has been in incredibly good form for Sporting since joining from Coventry City last year, becoming one of the hottest strikers in world football. The Sweden international scored 43 goals in 50 games in his first season with Sporting and has shown no signs of slowing down, with 23 in 17 matches over this campaign. The latest three of those goals came in an amazing 4-1 win for Sporting over Manchester City in the Champions…

Golf star Bryson DeChambeau made a surprise and somewhat awkward appearance on stage during Donald Trump’s victory speech in Florida. After a dramatic election night in America, Trump secured his return to the White House for a second term after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. In what became an early victory speech in Mar-a-Lago, the President-elect addressed his swathes of fans and extended thanks to family and friends who joined him on stage. But the 78-year-old was also quick to thank others in attendance, including two-time US Open champion DeChambeau. ‘We have up here today the US Open champion, he’s…

Coleen Rooney, who is regarded as the biggest star taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2024, could be exempt from Bushtucker Trials due to her chronic illness. This month, the ITV series is set to return with one of the most star-studded line-ups ever. The entire cast was recently ‘confirmed’ in a supposed leak, with stars including Maura Higgins, Danny Jones, Tulisa Contostavlos, Oti Mabuse and GK Barry tipped to be entering the jungle in Australia. When it emerged that Coleen, 38, had reportedly been signed up as a campmate, it was claimed that she…

Elon Musk has said he’s among the top 20 players of Diablo 4 in the world, but there are some caveats to his claims. As the CEO of technology companies like SpaceX and Tesla, it’s perhaps not surprising that Elon Musk is a fan of video games, in particular Diablo 4. Following the action role-player’s launch last year, Musk streamed himself playing the game on Twitter, and also claimed to be one of the top Quake players in the world, back in the late 90s – which later turned out not to be the case. In the run up to…

Aside from the US election results, the topic of conversation that has dominated social media in the last 48 hours is, quite unexpectedly, Gary Barlow’s son. Daniel Barlow, 24, was pictured alongside the Take That hitmaker, 53, positively dwarfing his dad and the rest of their family, and the internet has reacted. Memes have spread like wildfire in a perfect distraction from the political news that has seen Donald Trump re-elected as the 47th President of the United States. We thought these were two separate online conversations, until Trump’s son Barron, 18, stood up alongside the Republican, and everyone was…

Brat summer is officially over and Charli XCX has moved on to a completely different project; a high fantasy queer period drama. 100 Nights of Hero will be the first time the Apple hitmaker appears in a full-length non-animated film after a voice role in the Angry Birds Movie (2016). Charli has just finished her Sweat tour with Troye Sivan, who revealed that there would not be a European leg due to conflicting commitments. Turns out one of the 32-year-old’s commitments is filming a fantasy film in a regal crushed velvet dark green dress; goodbye Brat green. An embroidered green…

Underground air to heat London’s iconic buildings Excess heat from London’s Underground will power iconic buildings in a new £1bn net zero scheme. This low-carbon network will soon channel excess heat from the Underground to power several sites in central London, namely Downing Street and the National Gallery. This comes following last week’s Budget, in which chancellor Rachel Reeves announced significant investments in green energy, including a £2bn pour into UK’s hydrogen schemes. The initiative was recently launched by Hemiko and Vital Energi, who have partnered to transform Westminster’s heating infrastructure, marking a major step in the UK’s journey towards net zero.…

UK economy at risk of higher inflation and slower growth due to Trump tariffs Economists are concerned by the likely impact of Donald Trump’s economic policies on the UK following his historic election victory. During the campaign, Trump threatened to increase tariffs on foreign imports by between 10-20 per cent while also placing 60 per cent tariffs on Chinese goods. A tariff is a levy imposed on imports. By putting extra costs on businesses importing products from overseas, tariffs limit trade and lead to higher prices for consumers. If Trump went ahead with his threats to impose blanket tariffs, economists…
