Mourinho Preps For United Reunion

Oct 24, 2024

Jose Mourinho will face his former club Manchester United tomorrow morning, when his current employers Fenerbahce host United in the Europa League tomorrow morning.  

Fenerbahce has had a solid start to their season, as they currently lie in 4th place in the Turkish league.  

And so far they are unbeaten in the Europa League, with one win and a draw.  

Meanwhile, United must still contend with a host of injuries.  

Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount remain on the sidelines, while Casemiro will have a late fitness test after suffering a knock at the weekend.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has played down the significance of substituting Mo Salah out of this morning's 1-nil Champions League win over RB Leipzig.  

He says he simply wanted to keep his star player fresh, ahead of this weekend's clash against Arsenal.

Real Madrid are ready to offer Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold up to £15 million a year to persuade him to move to the Bernabeu.  

Real are looking to sign a new right-back and are especially keen on Alexander-Arnold, who has yet to extend his Liverpool contract beyond this season.

National shuttler Soh Wooi Yik says he was stunned by the news of badminton being dropped from the 2026 Commonwealth Games.  

However, he says he's confident that Malaysia can still win medals in the events that are left.  

10 events will be staged in Glasgow, including weightlifting, lawn bowls and track cycling.  

Meanwhile, Wooi Yik says he and his fellow badminton players will turn their attention to the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
