Erik ten Hag is expected to remain in charge of Manchester United for crucial games against Porto and Aston Villa despite mounting pressure on the Dutchman. United turned in a dismal display against Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday, thrashed 3-0 for the second home league game in a row. They were swept aside in similarly dominant fashion by Liverpool four weeks ago with another alarming performance this weekend leaving Ten Hag’s future at the club in real doubt. Sunday’s performance against Spurs was described as ‘disgusting’ by Gary Neville with another former captain in Ashley Young urging players to…

Declan Rice has dismissed suggestions Arsenal are ‘cheating’ in Premier League games, insisting their tactics are ‘part of the game’. Arsenal, seeking to win their first Premier League title since 2004, were accused of ‘time-wasting’ during the 2-2 draw with Manchester City earlier in the month. Several Man City players criticised Arsenal’s approach at the Etihad Stadium as the ten-men visitors desperately, and ultimately unsuccessfully, tried to hang on for a famous win.

Mason Mount has been told to ‘read the room’ by angry Manchester United fans after he posted an injury update on Instagram in the wake of Sunday’s 3-0 defeat against Tottenham. The former Chelsea midfielder’s Old Trafford career has been a tale of frustration so far with fitness issues preventing him from making the impact he would have anticipated making at the Theatre of Dreams. The England international made his latest comeback against Twente in the Europa League last Thursday after a month on the sidelines. Mount started on the bench yesterday and was thrust into an unenviable position by…

Editorial 30.09.24 The US front pages report on the devastation brought across many states by Hurricane Helene. At least 116 people have died nationwide since the hurricane made landfall in Florida on Thursday, according to CBS, and that figure is expected to rise as officials reach more areas. Hurricane Helene unleashed devastating winds and torrential rain across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Gorleston FC: FA Cup upset over St Albans ‘boosts club’s profile’ Gorleston FC boss Darren Cockrill says he is overwhelmed by the FA Cup run that has put his side one step away from reaching the first round proper for the first time since the 1950s.

Two tiers separate the clubs in the English football pyramid but Gorleston were never behind in the game, although keeper Jake Jessup made some brilliant saves to ensure…
