This, as United's new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe made getting Champions League qualification one of the club's top priorities.  

United are currently 11 points off the top-four, following their 3-1 defeat to Man City last night.  

They are also up against the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Aston Villa for places in Europe's top club competition.

Meanwhile, Man City's Rodri set a new Premier League record, in their 3-1 win over Manchester United last night.  

The result means the midfielder has remained unbeaten in 59 league matches, beating the record set by Chelsea's Ricardo Carvalho 16 years ago.

The Youth and Sports Ministry says the naturalisation programme for the national football team remains on hold for now.  

FAM introduced the programme in 2018 but was suspended three years later to assess its viability for the next round of World Cup qualifiers.

And Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has brushed off rumours claiming that they will try to persuade world champion Max Verstappen to join them next year..  

He says there's no reason for Verstappen to leave the all-dominant Red Bull. 

Recently, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said he wouldn't be surprised if Mercedes approached Verstappen to replace Lewis Hamilton.
