Rashford has scored 10 goals and assisted a further 13 in all competitions for the Catalan side. However, he has started just once in the last seven games and been forced to sit on the bench in their convincing wins over Sevilla and Newcastle.
A permanent move to Spain has been the most likely throughout the season, with Barca chief Deco teasing the club’s intention to keep Rashford beyond this season. However, Flick’s recent comments have placed doubt over their intentions to sign him permanently.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of their La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano, he said: “We need everyone until the end, and we don’t know what will happen after that,” he said. “There’s time. There’s a World Cup.
“I believe in my players. Cancelo, Rashford… they give us quality. And the rest, too. We’ll talk at the end and see what happens. Now is not the time to say ‘I want this one, I don’t want that one.’ Anything can happen.”
Re-elected Barca president Joan Laporta is said to be keen on extending Rashford’s loan, potentially with another temporary stay. “Marcus is performing very well with assists and goals, and Cancelo, on the other hand, is doing very well,” Laporta told RAC1.
“He has become a key player due to the injuries of both full-backs. We will try, in Barca’s interest, to ensure that Marcus can continue.”
It’s understood that United have no interest in vacating Barcelona’s hope of signing Rashford on another loan. United would be willing to take Rashford back – and sell him to the highest bidder ahead of next season.
His form in Spain has forced United chiefs to be confident of getting closer to £50m, should he return from Barcelona.

MIAMI — Cub Swanson’s swan song is complete. Swanson, the last active fighter from the WEC era, turned back the clock in his retirement fight. Swanson bottled everything that made him great and unleashed it on Nate Landwehr at UFC 327 in Miami. The result was a first-round, walk-off knockout fitting for “Killer” Cub.
Swanson was in rare form for his final fight. He channeled everything that makes him one of the best to never win a world title. Swanson walked forward with his hands low, pressuring Landwehr and never letting “The Train” get going. His head movement, footwork, speed and power contradicted the fact that Swanson is 42. Landwehr was repeatedly rocked and knocked down by shots he couldn’t see coming.
After the final knockdown, Swanson put his hands up defiantly. Referee Herb Dean trusted Swanson’s intuition, waving off the fight. The official’s decision was quickly justified as Landwehr, clearly dazed, tried to wrestle Dean halfway across the Octagon.
Swanson (31-14) retires with consecutive KO wins. His beloved career boasts fights with four UFC champions, including a KO win over the current BMF champ Charles Oliveira. Swanson also knocked out former interim lightweight titleholder Dustin Poirier. His fight with “The Korean Super Boy” Doo-ho Choi was widely considered the 2016 Fight of the Year, and one of the best of all time. He lays down his gloves nearly 22 years after his professional mixed martial arts debut.
The MEN’s Aaron Morris says: “While fight fans will undoubtedly still want to see Fury and Joshua take to the squared-circle in a long-awaited grudge match to prove who is truly the better pugilist, I can’t help but feel that I speak for the majority when I say it will be a case of too little, too late.
“Yes, Fury looked incredible with his dominant display against Makhmudov this evening, and we must give him his credit after a year-long layoff. However, would a showdown with AJ really deliver in 2026? Of course, combat sports fans would still probably say that the bout has a unique selling point given it’s been 10 years in the making – regardless of whether they are purists or armchair watchers.
“But think about just how good it would have been five years or so ago, with both men in the peak of their powers and the prime of their careers. It’s probably the biggest ‘what could have been’ moment of recent boxing history, and while a fight between the Gypsy King and AJ would still prove entertaining, it simply will not deliver in terms of hype or expectations – it has been far too drawn out.”
The Red Sox came into the final frame with a tenuous one-run lead, after Garrett Whitlock gave up a solo shot to Jordan Walker in the bottom of the 8th. Trevor Story led off with a walk—something that hasn’t been a big help to the Red Sox with two GIDPs in the game so far. Marcelo Mayer flies out and this looks like another ho-hum inning for the men in red tonight.

No so fast.

It wasn’t anything flashy nor did it need to be. It was just put your head down, keep the lineup rolling baseball. Six singles in a row! Narváez, Rafaela, Anthony, Durbin, Duran, Contreras. I’m not sure what Ollie Marmol was doing other than staring into the abyss letting Matt Svanson languish on the mound. Maybe he knew this was a wash for the Cardinals but this hopefully turns into much more of a momentum turner for the Red Sox.
Kudos to Alex Cora for sticking with Durbin too and not pulling the trigger on a pinch hitter—either Monasterio or Yoshida.
Not so many kudos to Greg Weissert who looks almost opposite of the Italian workhorse he was in the World Baseball Classic—everything is trouble for him right now and Danny Coulombe bailed him out.

Still, three wins in four games isn’t something to wag your finger at. None of them have been truly pretty wins but they’re wins regardless. FOX made a lot of mention that it takes 40-50 games to really see the makeup of a team. Let’s hope that first 10 was truly the worst of it and this Sox squad is starting to find its footing.
What a nice Saturday night!
Studs
Ranger Suárez (6.0 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 6 K, 0 ER)
Ranger was extremely frustrated after a 20+ pitch first inning and let it show in his final five. He looked extremely comfortable the rest of the way through. If this is the Suárez we’re getting on a more consistent basis, it’s very stabilizing for the rotation.

Willson Contreras (2-for-4, 3 RBI)
Against his old club, Contreras came to play. The game-winning RBIs in the fourth and another line-moving RBI single in the ninth.
Duds
Wilyer Abreu (0-for-4, 1 K)
I actually had Trevor Story and Caleb Durbin here for a while; their production in the 9th saved their skin. Just a quiet day for Abreu who had the rest of his team pick him up!
Play of the Game
For the better part of five innings, this was going to be Willy’s two-run double in the fourth. The ninth changed my mind, we’re going with Ceddanne’s RBI single to start the chain.
Boone Jenner, Sean Monahan and Kirill Marchenko — with an assist — also scored while Jet Greaves stopped 20 shots for Columbus (40-28-12), which is fighting to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020. Adam Fantilli added two assists.
The Blue Jackets sit outside the playoff picture, two points behind the Philadelphia Flyers for third place in the Metropolitan Division.
Cole Caufield — with his 51st of the season — and Josh Anderson replied for playoff-bound Montreal (47-23-10) two nights after Caufield scored his 50th in an electric 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jakub Dobes made 28 saves.
Defenceman Noah Dobson exited in the second period after blocking a Zach Werenski slap shot with his left hand. Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov also went to the dressing room in the third when he was hit headfirst into the boards by Werenski, but he returned later in the period.

Montreal (104 points) fell from second to third in the Atlantic Division behind Tampa Bay (104 points), which holds the regulation-wins tiebreaker over the Canadiens. The Buffalo Sabres lead the division at 106 points with two regular-season games remaining for all three teams.
The Blue Jackets jumped out to a 2-0 lead Saturday before the game was six minutes old.
Jenner got it started in just 73 seconds, sliding home a backhand. Coyle then doubled the lead at 5:42 when he finished off a tic-tac-toe play.
Anderson capitalized on a net-front pass from Jake Evans to respond at 11:48 in the first period, giving the Canadiens life until Marchenko ripped a shot over Dobes’ shoulder 1:24 into the second.

Monahan put the Blue Jackets ahead 4-1 at 10:36 in the middle frame after a turnover from defenceman Jayden Struble.
Caufield beat Greaves from a sharp angle on the power play 3:58 into the third period, but Coyle restored the Blue Jackets’ three-goal lead on the man advantage at 9:59.
Blue Jackets: On top of the early goals, Columbus registered eight shots just 3:18 into the game, setting the tone for the rest of the evening.
Canadiens: Will hope Dobson’s injury is not severe with the playoffs starting in one week.

Marchenko set up Coyle for his second of the night to give Columbus a commanding 5-2 lead.
Montreal captain Nick Suzuki, with an assist on Caufield’s goal, moved within one point of becoming the first Canadien to hit 100 since Mats Naslund in 1985-86.
Blue Jackets: Host the Boston Bruins on Sunday.
Canadiens: Visit the New York Islanders on Sunday.

He appeared uncomfortable, with sweaty gloves affecting his grip. Nitish Rana spoke to the umpire after the request was turned down, saying that playing with damp gloves could affect performance and safety.Soon after, on the third ball of the 19th over, Stubbs was dismissed while trying to hit Jamie Overton over mid-off, with Noor Ahmed taking the catch. Stubbs walked back and threw his bat and gloves on the way to the dressing room. Stubbs had asked for a glove change before getting out, but the fourth umpire had denied the request.With the win, CSK moved to ninth place with one win and three losses, while DC remained fourth with two wins and two losses.

Next week, our staff will formally predict the Minnesota Vikings’ 1st-Round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, but first, we asked our writers to get funky — the bold stuff that might unfold between April 23rd and 25th. “Bold predictions,” by design, are supposed to be “out there” and even a little bizarre.
These predictions lean weird for a reason.
Minnesota has nine picks this time; here’s what our people say will happen if things get a bit weird.

12 Vikings Calls That Could Rattle Minnesota’s Draft

1. The First 4 Pick Are Offensive Players
Predictor: Wes Johnson
The Vikings are in a prime position to add to the offensive side of the ball, and when you futurecast it, you can see why they’ll lean that way. Jordan Addison had his 5th-year option picked up, which means he will be on the 2027 books for around $18m.
Justin Jefferson will come in around $49.5m, with the two WRs set to command about 21% of the cap. That’s not sustainable for future years, and thinking about the position’s future is smart football.
Advertisement
WRs KC Conception or Jordan Tyson could be targets in the first round. Tight end is another area to focus on for the future. T.J. Hockenson will be a free agent and has slowed down since his knee injury.
Drafting someone dynamic on Day 2 should be a must; Eli Stowers, Max Klare, or Oscar Delp would be options here. Finally, finding a center of the future to shore up the line moving forward will only help keep the pocket clean for Kyler Murray. At pick No. 97, I can see them bringing home Emmitt Johnson, who many are saying is an Aaron Jones clone. Who better to learn under than Jones in what might be a swan-song year for #33?
2. Offensive Tackle Drafted Early
Predictor: Janik Eckardt
On paper, the Vikings don’t need an offensive tackle with Brian O’Neill and Christian Darrisaw still on the roster. Furthermore, the franchise signed backup Ryan Van Demark this offseason. Still, with injury concerns surrounding both starters, the front office will select a tackle in the Top 100 to add a long-term backup to the squad, who will be developed until he’s ready to enter the starting lineup in a year or two.

3. Vikings End up with 10 Picks + Plus One Banked for 2027
Predictor: Kyle Joudry
The Vikings go into the event with nine picks. By the time it’s done, the Vikings will have made 10 selections and added an extra pick for 2027.
4. Vikings Trade Down, Draft DT Peter Woods
Predictor: Steve Hoikkala
The Vikings trade back from Pick No. 18 and stay in the 1st Round to select DL Peter Woods from Clemson to pair with Jalen Redmond. The Vikings know they need to build in the trenches to be successful on defense.
Advertisement
5. J.J. McCarthy Traded, Rookie QB Drafted
Predictor: Ted Schwerzler
Not only is J.J. McCarthy gone, but the Vikings can also land a developmental prospect. By trading McCarthy, Minnesota gets mid-round draft capital this cycle. They’ll stick with Kyler Murray when it works, and landing Taylen Green (Arkansas) or Cole Payton (NDSU) on Day 3 gives Kevin O’Connell a lower-profile project.
6. The Pick Is Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq
Predictor: Dustin Baker
When the Vikings reworked T.J. Hockenson’s contract, making him a free agent in 2027, many fans thought, “Hockenson is back, huh? I guess they’re not drafting a tight end.”
Advertisement
What they should have thought? “Hockenson’s last year in Minnesota is 2026, so a tight end from the draft is now in play.”
The pick at No. 18 is Sadiq, who will help compensate for the Vikings’ lack of WR3 at the moment — and so much more.
7. First 2 Picks Are Safeties
Predictor: Henrique Gucciardi
Flores seems happy with his starting cornerbacks, but even if Harrison Smith returns, the safety position must be addressed. With that in mind, interim GM Rob Brzezinski selects either Dillon Thieneman or Emmanuel McNeil-Warren on Day 1 and pairs him with A.J. Haulcy as their second pick
Advertisement
8. Vikings Trade Out of Round 1 Altogether
Predictor: Adam New
This year’s draft appears low on top-end talent, and the Vikings look like they are in a good spot to trade back. They go out of the first round completely for more Day 2 picks.
9. Jeremiyah Love Somehow Lands in MIN
Predictor: Cole Smith
South Bend, Indiana, USA; Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love (4) carries the football while USC safety Bishop Fitzgerald (19) closes in defensively during second-half play at Notre Dame Stadium, Oct 18, 2025, as the Irish offense pushes for yards in a tightly contested matchup. Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images
The Vikings land Jeremiyah Love … without trading up. That’s it. That’s the prediction. This is what I’m rooting for, and I think there’s a world in which it happens. Very unlikely, but I don’t want the Vikings trading up for him either.
10. No Safety in First 3 Rounds
Predictor: Josh Frey
Advertisement
There are plenty of reasons for the Vikings to pick a safety early in this spring’s draft, but do they outweigh needs at other positions? I’m not so certain. The Vikings won’t end up with a new safety by the end of Day 2.
11. No Offensive Players until Rounds 4-7
Predictor: Brevan Bane

Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images
The Vikings won’t select any offensive players until Day 3. Given how much the defense needs young talent and how the board could likely shake out, Minnesota could have some decent looks at good defenders at its selections at 18, 49, 82, and 97.
12. Vikings Draft DL and OL with First 3 Picks
Predictor: Sean Borman
Vikings bypass the secondary and WR early in the draft to use their first three picks on a “trench-first” overhaul of IDL and C. This strategy prioritizes long-term cap sustainability and leans into Brian Flores’ identity by betting that elite physical line play is more critical to success than high-priced cornerbacks.

It’s building the roster from the inside out. After all, three of the four starting trenchmen who were signed in free agency last offseason are already gone.

Another great way to make money in later parts of the game is by selling meat from the corpses. Once you deal with the bodies on the autopsy table, you will notice that you can take the flesh from the morgue and sell it to the tavern. However, that requires a stamp to prove the meat’s authenticity.
This stamp can be obtained in two ways. Firstly, you can reach level 30 reputation with Snake, which can be done easily by completing his questline. Secondly, you can buy it through the royal services, located in the mailbox near the church. Once you unlock it, you can purchase the stamp for 50 silver. While it is a hefty initial fee, the constant supply of corpses more than makes up for it later on.
NEW DELHI: The monkey was finally off Sanju Samson’s shoulders. Emotions ran high for the wicketkeeper-batter as teammates surrounded him with high-fives, hugs, and celebrations. Samson, however, looked calm and content, flashing a big smile after playing a key role in Chennai Super Kings’ first win of IPL 2026.Samson, who managed scores of 6, 7 and 9 in CSK’s first three matches, roared back in style with a magnificent century to guide his team to a 23-run win over Delhi Capitals on Saturday, finally opening their account after three straight defeats.The batter, who was traded from Rajasthan Royals ahead of the season, delivered his first major contribution in CSK colours after early struggles. He had entered the IPL with high expectations, having hit three half-centuries in India’s T20 World Cup triumph at home in March.Samson’s unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, along with Ayush Mhatre’s 59 off 36, powered CSK to a commanding 212 for 2. The duo stitched together a 113-run stand for the second wicket. In response, Delhi Capitals faltered against a brilliant spell from Jamie Overton, who picked up 4 for 18 as they were bowled out for 189.“Really means a lot. The trust they showed, it was very responsible. Luckily everything came off nicely. It never felt like a different franchise. People are so nice. We had a meeting of 50 seconds today even after losing three matches,” Sanju Samson said after being named Player of the Match.“I have failed a lot. Mind gets a bit here and there. I need to know what my basics are. It’s about doing the basics right. We did some good sessions with the support staff,” he added.Samson was the chief architect of CSK’s memorable night at Chepauk. Asked to bat first, he registered his first big knock in a CSK jersey and shared a dominant partnership with Mhatre, who showcased his growing maturity in a vital stand of 113 runs in just over 11 overs.It was Samson’s fourth IPL hundred and his first for CSK, as well as the first century of the IPL 2026 season. The knock was crucial in restoring belief among the CSK faithful, especially after a poor start to the campaign.“It was very important to have great partnerships. Ayush has shown so much maturity. (On his celebration) That was for Fleming, I know how challenging it can be. I just wanted to dedicate this to him,” he said.
Sturm Graz will welcome Hartberg to Merkur-Arena in the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday. The hosts are out to defend their title, while the visitors are looking to snatch a UEFA spot.
Sturm Graz vs Hartberg Preview
Thanks for the submission!

Sturm Graz have won the Austrian Bundesliga in the last two seasons and are certainly eying a third, back-to-back, this term. They are on track, after winning the regular season by one point ahead of second-placed Red Bull Salzburg. However, they would have to clinch the Championship round to become champions anew.
Die Schwoazn, unlike the visitors, are undefeated in their last seven matches in all competitions. They seem to have extended their impressive run into the Championship round, winning twice and drawing once. Sturm Graz sit atop the Championship round on 26 points, but are closely followed by LASK on 25 points.

Hartberg managed to escape the relegation battle by two points, after finishing sixth on 33 points, just above WSG Tirol (31 points). But the visitors are struggling in the Championship round, with two defeats already against Salzburg (2-1) and Austria Vienna (1-0). They boast only one draw.
TSV didn’t fare better last season either. They finished in eighth place and failed to qualify for the Championship round, taking part in the Relegation round. The visitors eventually finished second to earn qualification for the Conference League play-offs. Sturm Graz defeated Hartberg 1-0 in their last meeting.
