Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday raised further questions about the job Erik ten Hag has overseen in his time at the club. The Red Devils ended the Game with just 36% possession and they were outshot by 16 to nine. Much of the noise came from the Travel ling north London contingent, with home fans only really treated to runs on the counter attack.

The need for identity Ten Hag's second season has been underwhelming / Alex Livesey - Danehouse/GettyImages Ten Hag has made no secret that he has somewhat reneged on his vision for United this season due to their injury list and admitted this side is incapable of playing the free-flowing possession-based style he was famed for at Ajax.

‘The magic of the FA Cup.’ they say. The giant-killing minnows making a name for themselves for a few days and a bucket of cash for the club. That’s what it’s all about, right? Yes, that is indeed an important aspect of the world’s oldest national Football tournament and one that generates that much-needed revenue across the English pyramid of lower leagues.

It’s an Atlantic Division showdown on Friday, January 5 as the reigning MVP Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers hosts the New York Knicks. The Knicks are one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA right now, shaking up their core as they executed a surprising trade for OG Anunoby. So far, the Knicks are 2-0 with OG in the lineup, but they are serious NBA odds underdogs to make it three in a row. Philadelphia has been one of the NBA’s elite teams all season long, and unlike the Knicks who are figuring out their new rotations, the 76ers are firing on all cylinders.

Quick facts When is it? Every January 4th Tagged as Music What's the hashtag? #PopMusicChartDay Have we missed something? For those who have ever listened to pop music on the radio, the concept of weekly pop music charts will at least be vaguely familiar. Radio stations often play a countdown of either the top five or top ten songs on the chart that week, when either samples or the entire songs are played. Pop music can be hard to ignore. And even for those people who don’t necessarily love it, there’s a pretty good chance that they have heard at least some of the songs that are on the charts today. Whether from shopping in a store, hearing them on television commercials or just in someone else’s car while driving with the top down, pop music is everywhere. Not only is it everywhere, but pop music is a mixed bag of what some people think sounds like an awful racket, and some genuinely interesting songs that all somehow reach the zenith of popularity. While some...

Apple on Tuesday fell nearly 3.6% to a seven -week low after Barclays downgraded the shares of the world's most valuable company on concerns that demand for its devices from the iPhone to the Mac will remain weak in 2024. Barclays is the second brokerage to have the equivalent of a "sell" rating on the stock, which now has its most number of bearish recommendations in at least two years, according to LSEG data.

Mohamed Salah helped Liverpool to victory over Newcastle in the Premier League on Monday in his final Game before joining up with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah scored a brace and assisted another after missing a first-half penalty at Anfield as Liverpool ran out 4-2 winners in a New Year’s Day thriller on Merseyside to move three points clear at the top. “It’s a great result for us.
