Anyone who has ever given a boy a bath may wonder at how she subdued the squirming, bony body of a 7-year-old and forced him to submit to the fate of his siblings. But Andrea Yates must have been possessed by a demonic energy, and perhaps the boy was too stupefied by the horror of his mother’s betrayal to resist. After all, the crime was “incomprehensible,” said the father, Rusty Yates, who held a teddy bear and a cheery family photo and spoke to reporters the next day on the clipped lawn of their suburban home in Houston, with the basketball hoops and the bikes in the driveway, behind the yellow police tape....

Scholes: Man Utd should fear no one in Europa League Rooney has scored just three goals in 20 matches across all competitions this season and failed to add to his tally in Thursday’s Europa League contest against Zorya, which United won 2-0. United have just 19 Premier League goals this season, with Ibrahimovic scoring eight of those, fewer than any other team in the top seven. Red Devils manager Mourinho wants a better return from Rooney, who needs just one more goal to equal Bobby Charlton’s all-time goalscoring record at United, but says the onus is not just on the England skipper....

Mourinho and Conte have not seen eye-to-eye for the majority of the latter’s time in England, with the pair engaging in a protracted and often unseemly war of words this season. During their spat, Mourinho questioned Conte’s integrity for becoming embroiled in a match-fixing scandal – from which the Italian was later exonerated – and the Blues boss responded by calling his rival a “little man”. But their relationship appeared to have mellowed during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to United on February 25, with the pair shaking hands....

Having seen his side fall behind to an early Andros Townsend effort at Selhurst Park, the Red Devils boss was fuming upon entering the away dressing room at the interval.

They were, however, to come roaring back, with Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic sealing a dramatic victory to put a smile back on their manager’s face....

The Portuguese has won 11 of his 13 finals so far and, after failing in the Premier League, Manchester United fans will be hoping history repeats itself yet again against Ajax in Stockholm on Wednesday.

PORTO 3 CELTIC 2 (21/05/2003) With the score tied at 2-2, the game was settled in extra-time following Derlei’s second goal of the match....
