Man United Hope For Positive Year-End

Dec 30, 2024

Man United will try to end a difficult year on a positive note, when they host Newcastle in the Premier League tomorrow morning.  

A win for United will lift them up to 11th in the standings.  

However, it'll be tough as they are up against an in-form Newcastle team who are in 7th place, having won three matches in a row.

Meanwhile Chelsea will be gunning for a win away at Ipswich, to ensure they end 2024 in second place.  

They are coming off the back of their 2-1 Boxing Day defeat to Fulham, which left them 10 points off leaders Liverpool, who still have a game in hand.

Mo Salah has told Liverpool fans he's still not close to signing a contract extension.  

His current deal expires at the end of the season, meaning that later this week he will be free to start negotiations with clubs outside of England.

Meanwhile, Spanish reports claim that Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is close to reaching a deal to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.  

This, as he continues to reject new offers to extend his Anfield contract, which expires in the summer.

And chess legend Magnus Carlsen has announced that he will return to compete in a tournament in New York. 

This comes days after he quit the competition after being penalised for a dress code violation, because he was wearing jeans!
