Manager Erik ten Hag returned to Manchester United’s training ground on Monday to prepare for Saturday’s Premier League game against Brentford at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman was under intense pressure heading into the international break.

Although he followed a 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham with away draws against FC Porto and Aston Villa, there was huge speculation about his future and United held a monthly board meeting in central London last Tuesday.

The meeting, which included co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, lasted around six hours but the outcome of what was said was never revealed.

Club officials are not happy at the side’s current position of 14th in the league table and Ten Hag faces a critical few games as he looks to reverse current form, which has seen his side go five games without a win.

After the Brentford game, United travel to Istanbul for a Europa League meeting with Fenerbahce, currently managed by former United boss Jose Mourinho, before a league trip to West Ham.

JAKE PAUL felt dwarfed after facing off the gigantic duo of Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira.

Ngannou makes his MMA return on Saturday in Saudi Arabia against 6ft 8in Brazilian Ferreira.

And two months ago, Paul was tasked with getting in between the two humongous men to square them off.

It marks Ngannou’s first fight back in MMA in over two years following a stint in the boxing ring.

And Paul believes the former UFC champion and now Professional Fighters League star return to the cage with a vengeance.

He said after facing the two off: “Battle of the Giants is very, very real. These men are actual giants.

“And if they were to have started fighting, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. But, I was there, I was doing my best.

“I had some form, but they’re very strong… I just think Francis just has so much to prove here that he’s going to rise to the occasion.

“With a taller man and as strong as Francis is with his solid base I just think he’s going to be able to clip Ferreira at some point.”

Ngannou, 38, put his MMA career on hold to cross over to the boxing ring to first face Tyson Fury, 36.

And he sensationally dropped the former world heavyweight champ before losing a controversial split-decision.

Ngannou then faced Anthony Joshua, 34, in March but was brutally knocked out in two rounds.

A month later, he endured personal heartbreak when his 15-month-old son Kobe tragically died.

His fight with Ferreira, 34, not only marks his first with the PFL but also since he lost his baby boy and decided against retirement.

Ngannou said: “I didn’t want to do anything but I just realised it was just my pain speaking. My rationality would not allow things like that.

“And also for the reason why I was deciding to retire wasn’t the best reason.

“I think I should use it as motivation and make something beautiful out of it.”

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris could sit down with popular podcaster Joe Rogan for an interview in the final stretch of the U.S. presidential campaign, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Monday.

Harris campaign officials met with Rogan’s team this week but an appearance has not been confirmed yet, two of the sources said.

Rogan, who runs the most popular podcast in the United States, has a highly coveted and devoted following that leans young, male and numbers in the tens of millions.

The interview will offer Harris an opportunity to make her case to his followers, as she works to shore up support with male voters and Black men in particular. Numerous public polls suggest Republican nominee Donald Trump could overperform among young men of all races.

On Monday, the vice president released a new set of policy proposals to appeal to Black male voters, and her campaign is ramping up outreach to the typically Democratic voting group.

Her campaign also announced she will sit for an interview with Fox News, whose day-to-day programming is heavy on conservative punditry that often explicitly supports Trump.

On Monday, Trump also indicated he plans to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast before Election Day on Nov. 5.

Trump and Rogan, who also serves as the UFC’s lead commentator, have sparred in the past. As recently as August, Trump took a shot at Rogan on social media platform Truth Social but later called him a “good guy.”

In 2022, Rogan said he is not a Trump supporter and in August said he preferred Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for president. Kennedy has since dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump.

The appearance could offer a shot in the arm for Harris and Trump as polls show an incredibly tight race between the two candidates that is expected to come down to the results in seven swing states.

In March, Spotify (SPOT.N), said that “The Joe Rogan Experience” had 14.5 million followers, almost triple the platform’s second most popular program. He also has over 19 million followers on Instagram and 17 million followers on YouTube.

A poll by YouGov last year found that 81% of his listeners are male and 56% are under 35 years old, feeding the perception that he has a direct line to a cohort that polling suggests tends to support Trump over Harris.

Rogan reached a new deal with Spotify earlier this year, estimated to be worth as much as $250 million.

MANCHESTER UNITED could be forced to play Jonny Evans in an unusual position against Brentford.

The defender was supposed to be a back-up this season but he has been drafted in to play due to another injury crisis at the club.

Defenders Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and now Noussair Mazraoui are all sidelined with injury.

That means Diogo Dalot is the only fit defender who is able to play at left-back.

And with Mazraoui out injured Dalot could have to switch flanks, with Evans filling in at left-back.

Another option for Erik ten Hag is to play Lisandro Martinez in that role, meaning Evans would continue in his natural position in central defence alongside Matthijs de Ligt.

Victor Lindelof could also be drafted into the side after replacing the injured Mazraoui against Aston Villa.

That is Lindelof’s only appearance so far this season but would be able to play at right-back, with Dalot continuing on the left.

Evans, 36, is one of United’s most senior players and he claimed the recent pressure on Ten Hag is not helping the squad.

He said: “The other night [after the 3-3 draw with Porto] he got a bit emotional, you could see it on him, letting that game slip away.

“You could see everyone was running into the ground to get a half decent result.

“It does affect the players. It’s on our minds too.

“I think the more experience I’ve got in my career I’ve made sure I do everything you do to be ready and give everything I can to the team.”
