The star midfielder said he was ‘feeling like 05’

Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo was seen enjoying himself at a Manchester venue as he celebrated his 21st birthday.

The Stockport midfielder joined the Red Devils four years ago and has built up a reputation with fans for his technique on the pitch. Mainoo also plays for the England national team and became the youngest England player to ever play a semi-final of a major tournament during the UEFA Euro 2024 semi-finals against the Netherlands.

This week, Mainoo, who is the brother of model and former Love Island contestant Jordan Mainoo-Hames, celebrated his 21st birthday by booking out renowned Manchester pasta spot Onda, on Circle Square off Oxford Road.

The restaurant opened its doors in 2024 and became the first permanent venue for the concept, which had previously served as a pop-up in the Northern Quarter. Known for its pizza, pasta, and focaccia – all made fresh in front of customers each day – its current menu includes the likes of Cavatelli pasta with anchovy butter, chicken stock, chilli and pangrattato, Vodka sauce lumache with ‘Nduja, and a beef shin ragu mafaldine.

Onda has also gone viral in the past over its Tiramisu, which is served from its own designated drawer. Being shared around the world, even by the likes of Hollywood actress Florence Pugh, love for the dessert saw the restaurant booked out for months in advance.

Earlier this week, the venue catered to Mainoo and his friends and family for the private event which featured live DJs, platters of food and even rounds of BuzzBallz cocktails. Supposedly taking on a throwback theme, the event saw Mainoo attend in an oversized fur coat and a New York Yankees baseball hat.

One clip shared on social media also showed Mainoo singing a rendition of JAY-Z and Kanye West’s Otis with friends, whilst the event also featured a performance from Mainoo’s favourite rapper Asco. Rumours online have suggested the artist was paid a five-figure sum for his appearance.

The party, which was attended by numerous celebrities and footballers, also saw Mainoo take part in a nostalgic-themed photo shoot with his fellow players including Bryan Mbeumo, Ayden Heaven, Patrick Dorgu, Leny Yoro, and Joshua Zirkzee. Posting the shot on Instagram, Mainoo wrote ‘Feeling like 05’.

Posting on social media of the group shot, fan account Risingballers wrote: “This is cold… Kobbie Mainoo was throwing it back to ’05 with the United team on his recent Insta dump. The United ballers came out to show love to Kobbie on his birthday whilst he was “feeling like 05”… the fit checks out.”

Responding to the photo, one fan wrote on Reddit: “MU-Tang Clan.” Another said: “I love this picture so much!” One other said: “Look like 90′ rap group cover album.” Another said: “The fact that they’re throwing it back to 05 is wild. That’s not that old.”

It has been recently reported that Mainoo is gearing up to sign a new five-year contract with United, with the MEN’s Senior Manchester Football Writer Tyrone Marshall describing the player as ‘a key member of the side going forward.

It is understood Mainoo is ready to put pen to paper on a long-term deal worth £120,000-a-week, which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2031. Just a matter of months ago, the midfielder had been on the verge of departing United on a six-month loan until the end of this season, but managed a reversal of fortunes.

When Michael Carrick was appointed as interim replacement, he restored Mainoo to the starting line-up, and the midfielder has since played a pivotal role in helping United climb to third in the table.

New Zealand Warriors vs Dolphins Odds

New Zealand Warriors vs Dolphins Preview

The Warriors return home with a clear blueprint built around ruck control and disciplined ball movement. Wayde Egan’s influence at dummy-half is central to that approach, giving their halves time and space to attack. The Dolphins showed encouraging signs last week but continue to struggle for sustained control through the middle. If New Zealand dominate possession, they should create enough opportunities out wide to get the job done.

A draftee celebrating with his family and friends after hearing his name called is one of the best parts of the NFL Draft. But few get to celebrate with a new teammate, and even fewer get to celebrate with a new teammate who’s also a family member.

That’s the case for cornerback Avieon Terrell, though: The Falcons took him with the No. 48 overall pick Friday, pairing him with older brother A.J. Terrell in the Atlanta secondary.

Brothers playing together isn’t super rare — Cameron and Connor Heyward did it last year for the Steelers, as did Quinnen and Quincy Williams for the Jets — but two playing the same position for the same team is.

A.J. has been a constant for the Falcons ever since they drafted him No. 16 overall in 2020. He was a second-team All-Pro in 2021, and he signed a four-year, $81 million extension ahead of the 2024 season. Now, he’ll be lining up alongside his brother. Interestingly, though, A.J. previously said he hoped not to play with his little brother.

“I want to play against him and see him walk on the sideline,” A.J. told ESPN a few weeks ago. “I want to see him play and I want him to have his own story somewhere else. I don’t want the narrative to be the Terrell brothers.”

If it can help the Falcons’ defense improve, though, A.J. should be all for it. Avieon, like A.J., starred at Clemson, and he started 31 straight games to finish his career. He has inside/outside versatility, and he forced eight fumbles over the past two seasons. Though he doesn’t have the size of his brother (Avieon is 5’11” and 180 pounds; A.J. is 6’1″ and 200 pounds), Avieon has earned plaudits for his tackling, aggressiveness, transition skills and ability to diagnose plays quickly. CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Mike Renner had Avieon as the No. 10 overall prospect in his prospect rankings.

“I would say he was competitive as a mentor,” Avieon said of his brother, per ESPN. “He’s been a mentor my whole life. So, somebody I can look up to, been looking up to since I’ve been knowing football, first since I was 5. And then the competitive part, we’re still competitive to this day. I want to do everything he does. We got that type of relationship.”

Already brothers and a mentor/mentee pair, they now add NFL teammates to their connections.

The NFL has already seen 32 picks come down the wire during the first round of the draft on Thursday. Now, it’s time for even more action to unfold as Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off from Pittsburgh on Friday night. 

Over the course of the opening round, trades were the major storyline as eight deals went down over the course of the evening. As we transition to Day 2, the wheeling and dealing is expected to continue, if not amplify, as this area has been circled as the true meat of this year’s draft. 

The second round will also see over a handful of teams finally enter the fray, as there were eight clubs that did not make a first-round selection on Thursday. That includes the San Francisco 49ers, who are slated to pick first at No. 33 overall.

This year, my pick-by-pick grades are being used to create real-time team report cards, so keep this page open throughout the weekend. 

Grades: Round 1 • Round 2 • Round 3 • Round 4 • Round 5 • Round 6 • Round 7

33. 49ers: De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss

Grade: C+

The 49ers tab Stribling as their Jauan Jennings replacement. He’s one of the better blockers in the class and will do the dirty work in the offense. Stribling will add a stronger vertical element than Jennings did. The Ole Miss receiver just isn’t nearly the route-runner that Jennings was in the offense.

34. Cardinals: Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M

Grade: A

After taking Jeremiyah Love in Round 1, the Cardinals come back and give him someone to open up running lanes. Bisontis is also a physical presence in pass protection where he thrives cleaning up pockets whenever he can. Without any options to fill their tackle need, this was the next best option.

35. Bills: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson

Grade: B-

The Bills were in desperate need of pass-rushing help and add just that at the top of Round 2. Parker is a physical edge rusher who’s been a plus run defender and pocket-collapser since Day 1 at Clemson. He would have gone much higher than this after his sophomore year, but his lackluster 2025 tape drops him to Round 2.

36. Texans: Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State

Grade: A+

If there was any weakness on this Texans defense, well, it just got fixed. McDonald is nothing short of an elite run-defending nose tackle prospect. His ability to envelope double teams and make plays in the run game will allow DeMeco Ryans to dedicate more resources to the back end in coverage – a scary thought.

37. Giants: Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee

Grade: B+

New defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson gets himself one of the better press-corners in the class. Hood is physical at the line of scrimmage and has top-end speed to make up ground deep. While he can get a little overly aggressive, he’s still one of the younger corners in the class, just turning 21, with room for development

38. Raiders: Treydan Stukes, S, Arizona

Grade: A

Stukes was college football’s top slot corner in coverage last season. He has the length and athleticism to play man as well as the quick processing for zone. He could end up at either slot, outside corner, or safety for Las Vegas – that’s how versatile he is. A tremendous influx of talent for a secondary in need.

39. Browns: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

Grade: A

The Browns double up at receiver a year after doubling up at running back. It’s an indictment of their current room, for sure, but also indicative of the loaded receiver class. Boston is a distinctly different type of receiver from KC Concepcion as he’s more of a possession receiver with a big wingspan and catch radius. He also has some of the best hands in the entire class.

40. Chiefs: R Mason Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma

Grade: A

Thomas represents a distinct departure from the bigger-bodied edges that Steve Spagnuolo has coveted in the past, and I like it. He’s a speed rusher with one of the more refined toolboxes in this class. He may not be much of a run defender, but the Chiefs won’t have to use him on run downs to get their money’s worth.

41. Bengals: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M

Grade: A+

If you can do what Howell did this past season to SEC tackles, you can rush the passer in the NFL. Short arms be damned. He’s a twitchy mover who sets up tackles with his pacing extremely well. He goes to the perfect spot on a Cincinnati team that needs edge-rushing help and can also afford to let him be a specialist.

42. Saints: Christen Miller, DT, Georgia

Grade: B+

Miller is one of the safer run defenders in the class. He has prototypical 3-4 defensive end traits, although he could probably even kick into nose if you really wanted him to. He may never be an elite pass-rusher, but he can at least walk back guards occasionally.

43. Dolphins: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

Grade: A

The Dolphins continue their strategy of drafting high-floor football players. Rodriguez was the best linebacker in all of college football last season. He may not have the prototypical frame, but he’s got great range and has the best instincts in the class. He’ll be an extension of Jeff Hafley on the field.

44. Lions: Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan

Grade: A-

Moore is nothing if not a culture fit for the Lions. The man treats every rep like he’s upset at the offensive lineman in front of him. While he’s a middling athlete, he maximizes his traits through sheer force and effort.

45. Ravens: Zion Young, EDGE, Missouri

Grade: C+

Young is somewhat reminiscent of former Missouri defensive end Darius Robinson in that he’s a bit of a tweener. He’s a jumbo defensive end, but his athletic testing numbers are closer to those of a defensive tackle. The problem is, we never really saw him play on the interior in college. He’ll, at minimum, be a hard edge-setter who can spell Trey Hendrickson on early downs.

46. Buccaneers: Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri

Grade: A

Trotter is the perfect linebacker for a Todd Bowles defense. He’s a tremendous blitzer who plays on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage better than any other linebacker in this draft class. The Bucs front seven just got a couple of butt-kickers.

47. Steelers: Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama

Grade: A+

If the Steelers wanted to come away with a tackle and receiver in this class, they did about as well as they could have expected, given their draft capital. Bernard is a nuanced route-runner who can create on his own after the catch. While he lacks the juice to be a true downfield weapon, he can get open at the intermediate level consistently.

48. Falcons: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

Grade: A+

The Terrell brothers are reunited once again. I say again, but being six years apart, they’ve likely never played on the same team until now. Avieon is the shorter, scrappier version of his brother AJ. He has the same smooth coverage skills, with a little more edge from being the younger brother.

49. Panthers: Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech

Melbourne Storm vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

Saturday night shapes as a genuine contest, with South Sydney carrying strong attacking form into Melbourne. The Storm, traditionally dominant at AAMI Park, have shown vulnerability around the ruck and edges in recent weeks. The Rabbitohs boast plenty of strike power, led by Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker, and will look to exploit any defensive lapses. If the game opens up, South Sydney have the firepower to challenge the hosts.

Lakshya Sen endured a tough loss but Ayush Shetty and the doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty registered wins as 2022 champions India notched up a commanding 4-1 win over Canada in their opening Group A tie of the Thomas Cup Finals on Friday. However there was disappointment in store in the women’s section as India lost 2-3 to hosts Denmark in their opening Group A tie of the Uber Cup Finals. After Lakshya’s spirited effort ended in a 18-21, 21-19, 21-10 loss to world No. 13 Victor Lai, world No. 4 Satwik and Chirag levelled the tie with a dominant 21-10 21-11 win over Jonathan Bing Tsan Lai and Kevin Lee.

The 20-year-old Ayush, runner-up at the recent Asia Championships, then outwitted world No. 33 Brian Yang 21-13, 21-17 in 39 minutes to hand India a 2-1 lead.

The second doubles pair of Hariharan Amsakarunan and M R Arjun sealed the tie for India with a convincing 21-7 21-15 victory over Ty Alexander Lindeman and Nyl Yakura.

Kidambi Srikanth then outsmarted world No. 77 Joshua Nguyen 21-17 21-12 in the inconsequential fifth match as India wrapped up the match 4-1 to be placed second in the table behind China.

China, 11-time winners and defending champions, beat Australia 5-0.

The top two teams from each of the four groups will qualify for the quarter-finals.

“Really happy with the way we played today… although we were down 0-1, we’re happy that we could get a point for the team and make it 1-0.

“We don’t want to keep so many expectations, we just want to enjoy as much as possible. It’s a long tournament, we have three days break now. There are new people who have come in, they are young and everyone is in good spirit,” Satwik told reporters.

“We just want to have some good memories in 10 days because you don’t get time. It’s a team event, let’s have some fun. We taking one day at a time.” In Uber Cup, India lost 2-3 with hosts Denmark in their opening tie of Group A.

Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu put India ahead with a tough 21-13 18-21 21-17 win over Denmark’s world No 21 Line Christophersen.

World No. 3 Unnati Hooda then produced a late fightback and saved multiple match points before going down 12-21 23-25 against world No. 26 Line Hojmark Kjaersfeldt, who won a silver medal at the 2026 European Badminton Championships early this month.

Tanvi Sharma went down to Amalie Schulz 21-19, 16-21, 16-21 in a 54-minute contest after taking the opening game as India trailed 1-2.

In their must win rubber, the women’s doubles pair of Shruti Mishra and Priya Konjengbam missed two match points before losing the decider to Amalie Cecilie Kudsk and Mette Werge 17-21, 21-11, 21-23 in a one hour and 15-minute battle.

In the final, inconsequential rubber, Tanisha Crasto and PV registered a win after Alexandra Boje and Christine Busch conceded the match in the second game.

The Indian pair had taken the first game 21-19 and were trailing 14-17 when the Danish duo retired after 36 minutes of play.

Lakshya vs Lai

It turned into another energy-sapping contest, reminiscent of the All England semifinal, with Lakshya and Lai locked in long, draining rallies.

Lakshya dictated early with sharp net play and smashes, doing enough to take the opening game despite Lai closing in from 14-18.

Lai hit back after the change of ends, racing to 7-2 and unsettling the Indian with clever deception and changes of pace to lead 11-7.

A 45-shot rally sparked a brief comeback as Lakshya drew level at 12-12, but Lai held firm in the closing stages, edging a tight finish after 19-19 with a net winner and a composed duel.

The decider was one-sided as Lai surged to 4-1 and 10-3, carrying the momentum to 11-5 at the break. Lakshya struggled to keep up as the Canadian mixed precision with power to move to 16-8 before sealing the match when the Indian went long, avenging his Birmingham loss.

India next face Australia and China on Monday and Wednesday.

Sindhu vs Christophersen

Sindhu started slowly before cruising through the opening game but was pushed into a decider by Christophersen.

The Dane raised her intensity in the second, matching Sindhu stroke for stroke from 6-6 to 11-11 and edging ahead 16-15 before forcing the decider as errors crept into the Indian’s game.

Backed by chants from the Indian camp, Sindhu relied on her deception and angles to stay in the contest.

Christophersen mixed pace well early in the third to lead 4-3, but Sindhu responded with three quick points to go 9-8 up and held a narrow edge at the interval.

The Dane again moved ahead 15-12 but faltered with errors as Sindhu drew level at 15-15.

In a nervy finish, Sindhu held her composure, winning six of the last seven points to move 18-16 ahead before finishing with a body smash and a down-the-line winner to seal the match.

Newcastle Knights vs Penrith Panthers Preview

Penrith continue to set the benchmark with their composure under pressure and defensive resilience. Even when challenged, the Panthers find a way to execute in key moments, a trait that remains unmatched. Newcastle have been competitive this season, particularly in effort areas, but may struggle to break down Penrith’s disciplined defence. Expect the Panthers to control the tempo and capitalise when it matters most.
