Champions League hopefuls City and United will clash in the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday in another installment of Pep Guardiola versus Mourinho. Wenger: Alexis won’t join PL rival City – fourth in the table – are only a point ahead of United, who are also juggling Europa League commitments ahead of a semi-final tie against Celta Vigo. And Mourinho heaped pressure on rival Guardiola – who went to Old Trafford and won the reverse game in September – amid United’s congested fixture list....

The Netherlands international, who has made just four Premier League appearances this season, has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Everton reportedly keen to add him to their ranks. United have yet to receive a formal offer for Depay, though, and Mourinho has made it clear he would not mind the 22-year-old staying put. Man Utd price Nice out of Delay deal “We have a lot of players in Memphis’ position....

Ibrahimovic is yet to extend his contract for another year, but Mourinho is not concerned about the 35-year-old’s future, tipping fans to take drastic action if that is what it takes to keep him at Old Trafford. Where would Man Utd be without Zlatan? The former Sweden captain moved on to 26 goals this season with his match-winning double in Sunday’s 3-2 EFL Cup final victory over Southampton at Wembley....

Zlatan SLAMS lack of Rooney respect The Ecuadorian has impressed this season for the Red Devils at right-back and Mourinho insists he always felt that would be his best position. Valencia made his comeback from a broken arm against Arsenal in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford and Mourinho says he offers an extra attacking option. “I tried to sign Antonio a number of years ago, when I was at Madrid,” Mourinho told MUTV....

The Manchester United boss has guided the club to the FA Cup final after a professional victory over Tottenham at Wembley, but the Red Devils have missed out on the Premier League trophy, and were also knocked out of the Champions League by Sevilla. However, Mourinho, whose side are currently on course to finish second, insists that his critics are always waiting for the slightest slip-up, in order to lambast his management....

The charge laid at the Manchester United manager’s door was that he should never have risked so many first-team players for the second leg of the Europa League round of 32 clash with Saint-Etienne. A 3-0 lead from the first leg was enough of a buffer, his critics claimed, to allow Mourinho to rest his preferred staff for Sunday’s EFL Cup final against Southampton. Keane: Rooney to China? Madness!...

Guardiola agrees with Mourinho complaints United have failed to threaten title favourites Chelsea in the Premier League this term, while Mourinho’s side risk missing out on the Champions League places as they currently lie fifth. But the former Real Madrid coach insists all managerial jobs become more straightforward after the first year in charge, and he expects this to be the case again at United. “In the second season I know what is wrong,” he told a pre-match news conference ahead of facing West Brom on Saturday....

The Red Devils reached that landmark with a 0-0 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. Mou’s Man Utd no better than LvG Another frustrating stalemate is not the result Mourinho would have been hoping for at Old Trafford, having already been held on seven previous occasions at the Theatre of Dreams this season. He will, however, take heart from the fact that United remain difficult to beat and firmly in contention for a top-four finish....

The relationship between player and manager has regularly been a talking point throughout the pair’s time working together at Old Trafford and looked only to be resolved with speculation Martial would leave the club during the summer transfer market. Mourinho confirmed that he was forced to fine Martial in the eary stages of the 2018-19 campaign following the Frenchman’s decision to leave the club’s pre-season tour of the United States....

George C. Wolfe is the perfect director for the play’s ricochet rhythm between realism and fantasy, although only a theatrical Superman could have nailed down every nuance in this epic without at least six months’ rehearsal time. “Angels” is essentially an ensemble play, and Ron Leibman, in a bravura performance as Cohn, comes within an inch of cracking the show’s unity. But this play is too big to crack, and watching Leibman’s Cohn scheme, scorn, plead, rage, threaten, hate, love, fear and defy is a rare chance to see a worldclass American virtuoso act to the max....

“Lust, Caution,” which loops back in time to 1939 Hong Kong, unfolds on a large, opulently appointed canvas that recreates the decadence and paranoia of prerevolutionary Shanghai. An erotic, violent melodrama, filled with echoes of such Hitchcock movies as “Notorious” and “Suspicion,” Lee’s film is composed of one highly flammable ingredient after another. Why, then, doesn’t it ever fully ignite? For all its hothouse passions and sometimes brutally explicit sex scenes, the storytelling seems curiously stolid, the style too movie-ish for its own good....

Yes, but then there’s Karen Allen! Those beguiling freckles, the radiant blue eyes, the husky voice, the enchanting smile—and the white dress she wears as Marion Ravenwood in the first of the “Indy” movies. If you didn’t have a crush on her from early on in the movie when she drinks men under the table and then decks Indy with a right to the chin, or when she escapes a harrowing pit of snakes, then that dress surely would have been enough....

Both Tharp and Joel are quick to say that “Movin’ Out” is not a musical in the conventional sense. “We can’t come up with a name for what this is,” says Tharp. “This is not a book musical; we do not have book scenes.” Or dialogue. But the show has characters and a narrative line, expressed in dance, that Tharp has pieced together from Joel’s songs. “Movin’ Out” follows a group of working-class baby boomers from New York’s Long Island, who couple and uncouple, and endure the destructive forces of Vietnam and the counterculture....

The top 20 goalscorers in Europe The Black Cats are 18th in the Premier League, with Defoe integral to their hopes of survival. The former England international has scored eight top-flight goals this season, attracting interest from his former club as a result. That follows up on the 34-year-old’s 15 league strikes last season, leaving Moyes keen to stress that he is completely against selling his main goal threat in January....

The verdict was the culmination of a risky strategy by the 32-year-old billionaire. At the center of the dispute was MyMP3.com, a service Robertson launched in January by buying up 80,000 songs and allowing users who could prove they owned a CD to listen to that music online. The Recording Industry Association of America sued, charging that the songs had been illegally copied. In settlement talks, Robertson was then able to negotiate with each record label for licenses, effectively vaulting to the front of a line filled with other dot-coms that also want the labels’ approval....

MS targets the brain and spinal cord, attacking the myelin sheath, which is the protective coating found on nerves. RA mainly targets the cartilage in the joints. In some cases, the two diseases can occur simultaneously, which causes confusion in diagnosis and treatment. This article discusses the similarities and differences between MS and RA, as well as the diagnostic tools used to determine whether a person has MS, RA, or both....

Goal counts down the best players from the top competitions in the 2017 Malaysian football season, and here’s number 5.

“Hunter Biden made $600,000 from a Ukrainian company,” Paul said, after he was asked by Ruhle about Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani being paid $500,000 to work for the company of Ukrainian-American businessman Lev Parnas, who was arrested last week over alleged campaign finance violations. “So, if we want to investigate Rudy Giuliani’s financial dealings, by all means do it. But at the same time, you should, if you want to be fair, investigate Hunter Biden’s economic dealings in Ukraine as well,” he argued....
