Ruben Amorim fails with plan for Man United star as World Cup dream officially over

Published

23 May 2026

Ruben Amorim was keen to revive a Manchester United star’s career for him to be picked for England at this summer’s World Cup, but that has failed to materialise

Former Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim had aspired to be the manager who propelled Mason Mount back into England contention – but Friday’s World Cup squad announcement confirmed his attempts had been unsuccessful. The ex-Chelsea midfielder had become an important figure for the Portuguese tactician during his troubled tenure at Old Trafford, though following his dismissal, he struggled to establish himself.

The Reds secured Champions League qualification comfortably thanks to the transformation overseen by caretaker boss Michael Carrick. The former midfielder has subsequently been handed a new two-year contract as recognition for his temporary stint at United.

On Friday, Thomas Tuchel revealed his 26-man selection for the upcoming tournament taking place across North America.

The England manager faced scrutiny over certain inclusions and omissions, while Mount was left out altogether, with his most recent Three Lions outing occurring four years previously during the previous World Cup.

It had been reported earlier that Amorim intended to do whatever possible to enable Mount to thrive and press his case for England selection.

The 27-year-old demonstrated adaptability at United under the former Sporting manager and was regarded by Amorim as a ‘super talent’ and among the most underappreciated English players, as per The Sun.

Speaking in December following United’s 4-1 victory over Wolves, Amorim praised Mount. He said: “I think, once again, after we scored a goal we were a little bit sloppy on the ball and that gave a little bit of hope to the opponent.

“But we created a lot of chances in the first half also. We should have finished that half in the different way and then in the half-time they understood that we have everything to win the game, to win three points. And they did that.

“I think the pace, the quality that we showed in the second half, understanding that the moment of Wolves is really hard as a team, as a club, so we took advantage of that.”

Mount featured in just six matches during Carrick’s caretaker period, totalling 126 minutes, with his sole full appearance coming in the scoreless draw against Sunderland.

The England midfielder will need to utilise his adaptability to slot into Carrick’s tactical setup, with Carrick choosing not to deploy two number 10s, a position where Mount had previously thrived.

An injury in February ruled him out of six fixtures, and the limited game time for Mount afterwards was a cautious approach as the club worked to restore him to peak condition.

Carrick said last month: “It’s great to have Mason back, to miss him so quickly after we came in and came together.

“So, he’s obviously had what, nearly two, three weeks of building up and finding his rhythm, finding his sharpness. So yeah, it’s great to have him back.”

Harry Kane Hat-Trick Seals German Cup Glory as Bayern Munich Complete Double

England captain Harry Kane scored a brilliant second-half hat-trick as Bayern Munich defeated VfB Stuttgart in the German Cup final to complete a domestic double.

The final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion ended goalless in the first half before Kane opened the scoring in the 55th minute. The striker headed home from a cross delivered by Michael Olise at the far post.

Kane grabbed his second goal late in the match after turning neatly from a pass by Luis Díaz before calmly finishing past the goalkeeper.

The former Tottenham Hotspur star completed his hat-trick in stoppage time from the penalty spot to secure victory for Vincent Kompany’s side.

The goals crowned an outstanding campaign for Kane, who ended the season with 61 goals in 51 appearances for Bayern.

Since joining the German champions in 2023, Kane has now lifted four trophies with the club, including back-to-back Bundesliga titles, the German Super Cup, and now the German Cup.

The victory also handed Bayern their 21st German Cup title and their first triumph in the competition since the 2019-20 season.

Canelo watches from ringside as Hamzah Sheeraz wins his old belt with destructive KO

Published

23 May 2026

Canelo Alvarez had one of the best seats in the house as one of his old world title belts was claimed by the likely future star of the super-middleweight division.

Canelo had dominated the 168lbs scene for several years and was the undisputed super-middleweight champion up until his showdown with Terence Crawford last September.

Despite moving up two weight classes, Crawford secured a unanimous decision win to claim all four major world titles before then hanging up the gloves shortly afterwards.

Following that retirement, it meant the belts became fragmented, with it announced that the vacant WBO title would be contested between Hamzah Sheeraz and Alem Begic. That bout taking place this evening at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, though fans would have missed it if they blinked.

Canelo was able to witness first-hand the quality of Sheeraz, as the unbeaten Brit dominated on his way to a second-round body shot stoppage win, becoming world champion for the first time.

Now that Sheeraz has a world title belt around his waist, it could entice Canelo into a future showdown against the 26-year-old, who has made it clear for several years that he would love an opportunity to face the Mexican superstar.

Hamzah Sheeraz wants Canelo next‼️

Before any possibility of that clash, Canelo first looks to win back the WBC when he challenges new champion Christian Mbilli in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on September 12.

A possible unification match-up with Sheeraz could then come next, but after the destructive performance over Begic, Canelo may also decide it could be smart to look elsewhere.

Spurs seeking answers to Thunder’s dominance when Wembanyama rests

Published

23 May 2026

NewsAdmin

SAN ANTONIO — It’s tempting, but the San Antonio Spurs will not play Victor Wembanyama every minute of regulation against Oklahoma City even as they trail the Thunder 2-1 in the Western Conference finals.

Instead, San Antonio has to find a way to play better when Wembanyama rests because Oklahoma City is dominating when the 7-foot-4 star from France is on the bench.

The Thunder are two wins away from returning to the NBA Finals with Game 4 on Sunday in San Antonio.

Oklahoma City has won two straight by an average of 12 points since Wembanyama had 41 points, 24 rebounds and three rebounds in 49 minutes during San Antonio’s 122-115 double-overtime victory in Game 1 on Monday.

As the Spurs seek solutions, playing Wembanyama more minutes is intriguing but not viable.

“The idea is there,” San Antonio coach Mitch Johnson said, smiling, “but, yeah, I think as we’ve seen it, him fresh or somewhat fresh is still the best. … We don’t want to sacrifice our style of play and the identity that we’ve been building since October.”

The Spurs were a plus-4 in Wembanyama’s 39 minutes in Game 3’s 123-108 loss to the Thunder on Friday. That number may seem inconsequential, but San Antonio was minus-15 as a team and its main reserves were in the negative by double digits.

MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a team-high 26 points, but the rest of the starters combined for 21 points.

Their scoring wasn’t needed Friday.

Oklahoma City’s bench outscored San Antonio’s 76-23 and were a combined 14 for 29 on 3-pointers. The 76 bench points are the most in the conference finals since the NBA went to the 16-team playoff format in 1984.

“We’ve dealt with a lot of injuries throughout the year, but it’s built us,” Thunder center Jaylin Williams said. “It’s built us as a team. It’s built us as players to be ready for the moment, to be ready when your name is called.”

Williams had a playoff career-high 18 points, and fellow reserve Jared McCain finished with 24 points.

The Spurs opened Game 3 on a 15-0 run, the longest run to open a game in the conference finals since the play-by-play era began in 1997. San Antonio led 19-4 when Wembanyama subbed out with seven minutes remaining in the quarter but the Thunder cut the deficit to 24-19 when he returned with 3:44 remaining in the first.

The Thunder’s depth also allows them to throw multiple bodies and looks to wear on Wembanyama and the Spurs.

“I know I’m not going to play as many minutes as (Wembanyama) is, so the minutes I’m out there I’m trying to make his job as tough as I can make it,” Williams said.

Making matters worse for the Spurs is two of their primary playmakers and scorers are battling injuries.

Point guards De’Aaron Fox (sprained right ankle) and Dylan Harper (right adductor soreness) played in Game 3 but were not at 100%. Fox also appeared to injure his left ankle in the third quarter but returned shortly after exiting for the locker room.

“They came out of the game, finished on their own accord,” Johnson said. “I took them out, so that’s a plus and as of now we expect them to be ready to go. So, those guys are giving us all they got, and I commend them and tip my cap because they’re competing … and they’re not 100%.”

There was no update on their playing status as of Sunday afternoon.

The diminished health of Fox and Harper along with Oklahoma City’s physicality has slowed San Antonio’s usual breakneck pace offensively.

The Spurs played reserve center Luke Kornet alongside Wembanyama at times Friday in an attempt to improve its rebounding and spark a faster pace, but the Thunder limited that as well.

“That’s been good for us all year,” Castle said of the Spurs’ pace. “I don’t think it’s just against them that it’s crucial that we have those possessions, but, I mean, I think that comes from getting stops first.”

Castle did not want to give away any strategy, but he did say the Spurs discovered some “schematic stuff” that should fix their lapses on both ends for Game 4.

Regardless, San Antonio has to find a way to keep playing with Wembanyama on the bench.

“I feel like each and every one of us has got to be better,” Wembanyama said. “Yeah, I think it’s just that as a team, as an organization, there’s a lot of new experiences. We’re just going to have to find the answers.”

Man United immediately handed golden transfer opportunity after club suffers £200m blow

Manchester United are in the market for several midfielders with a golden transfer opportunity emerging after the Championship play-off final

Manchester United look to have been handed a major Hayden Hackney transfer boost after Middlesbrough’s Championship play-off final defeat. The 23-year-old has been linked to an Old Trafford switch in recent months and the chances of a reunion with Michael Carrick now only look to have increased.

Boro went into the Wembley showpiece as favourites but a stoppage-time Oli McBurnie goal sealed Hull City’s place in the Premier League for next season. Hackney played the final 20 minutes after missing the last two months with a calf injury, but he was unable to make a lasting impact.

With Middlesbrough set to remain in the Championship, which will see them miss out on roughly £200million from promotion, Hackney staying at Riverside Stadium for the 2026/27 season seems highly unlikely. Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have also been linked to the midfielder.

Links to Old Trafford have been concrete in recent months with The Athletic stating he is well-liked by United and Carrick. He is also also been considered a player with huge potential for some time.

Carrick will likely be the man leading any pursuit for Hackney having spent nearly three years with him at Middlesbrough. The 44-year-old was sacked from that role last June and started his temporary job with United six months later.

FOLLOW OUR MAN UNITED FB PAGE! Latest news and analysis via the MEN’s Manchester United Facebook page

A hugely successful interim spell has seen him the club’s become permanent head coach and he is now entering his first full transfer window in charge.

Hackney is one of many midfielders that could join though Boro boss Kim Hellberg admitted earlier this year he is hopeful the club’s captain will stay.

He told BBC Radio Tees back in January: “He’s very important, of course. He’s a top player and person. In every aspect of the game he’s s good, defensively and offensively.

“I like him very much and if I had to decide I would say he’s not for sale, but it will not come down to me. I think he wants to stay here. You can see him being very happy with how it works, so hopefully he’s with us this year and further on.”

Brazilian Ederson is another central midfield option with links to the Atalanta star increasing after he missed their Serie A final day clash against Fiorentina due to being in advanced talks to join a top European club, as confirmed by the club’s head coach Raffaele Palladino.

Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba and Sandro Tonali are just a few others linked to United.

The latter also has interest from Manchester City but reports in Italy have claimed he would prefer a move to Carrick’s side.

Man Utd skipper Bruno Fernandes named Premier League player of the season | Football News

Bruno Fernandes has been crowned the Premier League Player of the Season after an outstanding campaign for Manchester United. The Portuguese midfielder added another major individual honour to his collection after previously being named the Football Writers’ Association Men’s Player of the Year earlier this month.

Fernandes shines with goals and assists

Fernandes played a crucial role in Manchester United’s successful league campaign, helping the club secure a third-place finish and qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League. The United captain scored eight league goals and produced 20 assists in 37 appearances.

His latest assist came against Nottingham Forest last weekend, allowing him to equal the record for the most assists in a single Premier League season.

The midfielder also dominated the league in chance creation, registering 132 chances created throughout the campaign. That tally placed him comfortably ahead of Dominik Szoboszlai of Liverpool, who finished second on the list.

An incredible campaign for the @manutd captain ????

First Manchester United winner since Nemanja Vidic

Fernandes becomes the first Manchester United player to win the Premier League Player of the Season award since Nemanja Vidic claimed the honour in 2011.

The award winner was selected through a combination of public voting and votes from a panel of football experts.

Other nominees included David Raya, Gabriel Magalhães, Declan Rice, Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo, Igor Thiago and Morgan Gibbs-White.

Coaching staff extend stay at Old Trafford

Meanwhile, several members of Manchester United’s coaching setup have signed new two-year contracts. Steve Holland, Jonny Evans, Jonathan Woodgate, Travis Binnion and Craig Mawson will continue working under manager Michael Carrick.

Carrick himself recently signed a permanent two-year deal after initially taking charge on an interim basis following the departure of Ruben Amorim in January.

Cubs’ Nico Hoerner makes sensational between-the-legs throw in instant highlight

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Chicago Cubs star Nico Hoerner did his best basketball impression, throwing the baseball between his legs to make a sensational play on a bunt.

In the top of the fifth inning of the Cubs’ 3-0 loss to the Houston Astros on Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field, Hoerner showed his defensive prowess. Astros catcher César Salazar tried to jump on Cubs starting pitcher Colin Rea and open the inning with a bunt single on Rea’s first pitch of the frame.

Hoerner, a two-time Gold Glove winner, charged on Salazar’s bunt. Salazar runs well, which left Hoerner’s options limited after he picked up the ball with his bare hand.

They say necessity is the mother of invention.

The 29-year-old, all in one motion, dragged his right leg behind him, creating an opening for him to throw the ball between his legs to first base, despite all of his momentum coming toward home plate. First baseman Michael Busch finished the play by reaching out and snaring Hoerner’s dazzling throw to complete the highlight and nab the speedy Salazar for the out.

Hoerner’s through-the-legs throw conjured up memories of New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon and Chicago White Sox Mark Buehrle, who both made plays of a similar ilk.

Colon fielded Miami Marlins first baseman Justin Bour’s weak dribbler on the first-base line and casually flipped the ball behind his back to complete the out.

Buehrle got drilled in the foot by a comebacker and the ball ricocheted into foul territory on the first-base side. He hustled over and flipped the ball with his glove through his legs to complete the out.

Like Colon and Buehrle, Hoerner’s fantastic play will be shown on highlight reels for a long time.

Unfortunately for the Cubs, Hoerner’s standout play was one of their few highlights in their loss to the Astros.

The Cubs (29-23) will look to bounce back when they play the Astros (22-31) in the final game of a three-game series on Sunday at 2:20 p.m. ET and hope to avoid the sweep.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event returns. The quarterly special is back for the first time since January. The card is loaded with championship matches, including Penta defending the intercontinental title.

Five matches are booked for Saturday Night’s Main Event, four of which have titles at stake. WWE is putting the most emphasis on Penta’s title defense. The fearless luchador last defended his title in a six-pack ladder match at WrestleMania. He’s 6-0 in title defenses, but the challenger has serious momentum. Former NXT champion Ethan Page is undefeated since moving up to the main roster. He earned the title shot after pinning the champion in a tag team match also involving Rusev and Je’Von Evans.

Also on Saturday, The Vision finally get their hands on The Street Profits in a tag team title match. Logan Paul and Austin Theory have had problems with Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford since the Raw after WrestleMania. The Street Profits returned to aid Seth Rollins in his effort to hunt down his former faction. Now, The Vision put the tag titles on the line against the three-time former champions.

Plus, women’s intercontinental champion Becky Lynch looks to put down the rising NXT star Sol Ruca in Ruca’s first main roster title match. And the women’s tag team titles are on the line when Paige and Brie Bella take on The Irresistible Foce of Lash Legend and Nia Jax.

Below is how you can catch all the action on Saturday night.
