Paul Scholes believes Joshua Zirkzee made the ‘wrong decision’ passing to Harry Maguire in the dying moments of Manchester United’s 2-2 draw at Liverpool, denying himself of a Diego Forlan-esque winner. After a difficult start with United, Forlan made himself an overnight hero with a pair of second-half goals at Anfield, which consigned Liverpool to their first home loss in almost a year midway through the 2002/03 season. Zirkzee’s struggles in the early stages of his Old Trafford career have often been compared to those experienced by Forlan, with the Dutchman managing just three league goals since his summer arrival…

Arne Slot rejected the chance to sign Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte after taking over at Liverpool, according to reports. Ugarte was offered to a number of clubs, including United and Liverpool, after falling out of favour at Paris Saint-Germain. PSG spent more than £50m to sign Ugarte from Ruben Amorim’s Sporting Lisbon in 2023 but agreed to sell him at a loss just a year later. Ugarte has endured an underwhelming first six months at Old Trafford, starting just nine of Manchester United’s 21 league games due to problems with form and fitness. Earlier in the season Liverpool legends…

Former Premier League striker Michael Owen Michael Owen believes Newcastle United striker and Arsenal transfer target Alexander Isak would ‘walk into every team in the Premier League’. Isak is enjoying a superb season at St James’ Park, scoring 13 goals in 18 league games to help Newcastle climb to fifth in the English top-flight. The 25-year-old Sweden international was also prolific in front of goal last season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions to attract interest from a number of top clubs. Arsenal have long been linked with a move for Isak as Mikel Arteta considers bringing a new frontman…

Jamie Carragher fears there is ‘one thing’ that could stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League title. The Reds have opened up a healthy seven-point lead at the top of the table as they look to clinch their 20th league title and first since 2020. Liverpool saw title-chasing Arsenal drop points at Brighton on Saturday but failed to fully capitalise on the result as they too were held to a draw by struggling Manchester United. Arne Slot’s side looked set to pull even further clear in the title race after recovering from Lisandro Martinez’s superb opener to lead 2-1 at…

Gary Neville discussing Man Utd’s draw with Liverpool Gary Neville believes Manchester United targeted a Liverpool player during Sunday’s Premier League clash at Anfield. There were fears United would be on the receiving end of an embarrassing scoreline given the fortunes of both sides going into the match. United had lost four games in a row and lost to Newcastle United, Wolves and Bournemouth without scoring a goal. Liverpool, meanwhile, had won four games on the bounce, putting five past West Ham and six past Tottenham over the Christmas period. But after withstanding some early pressure, Manchester United grew…

The first rumourI am genuinely shocked that there really was a Christmas Day leak about the Switch 2, but as usual it doesn’t really tell us anything other than it looks like the current one. We’ve known that for months now and ever since it seems like we’ve just been going round in circles. We still don’t know what any of the new buttons do or what any of the games are so I’m not sure that Nintendo is really feeling any urgency to make an annoucement early. Even so, I’m sure there’s going to be tons of rumours this…

Demi Moore left fans and her own family in tears with an impassioned speech about worth as she won her first ever acting award at the Golden Globes. The 62-year-old actress finally won an acting prize after a career spanning four decades, and she was ‘in shock’ but ‘humbled and so grateful’ to beat the likes of Wicked star Cynthia Erivo and Challengers actress Zendaya for best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy for her role in horror The Substance. ‘Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress and at that…

WWE has officially arrived on Netflix and some of its biggest superstars are chasing some huge spin-off shows, with LA Knight eyeing up Sydney Sweeney. The professional wrestling juggernaut has made the move with the streamer landing a $5billion deal, and those in charge at the platform have made it clear they’re looking for more shows aside from Raw, SmackDown, WrestleMania and more. Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk in a sit-down chat backstage at London’s O2, former United States Champion LA Knight said: ‘My first instinct is, we should do something comedic, but I don’t think that would be the right…
