The Portuguese was drafted into the Old Trafford hot-seat last summer with the remit of bringing success back to the club. He has delivered on that front, with Wednesday’s Europa League final triumph over Ajax seeing him collect a third trophy of the season. Mourinho showing Pep how it’s done Mourinho, though, acknowledges he is working in the shadow of iconic figures such as Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby and has a long way to go before he can be considered a success in his own right....

Having joined the ranks of former professionals in the punditry game, ex-England international Scholes has refused to let his strong ties to Old Trafford cloud his judgement. He has been outspoken in his opinions at times, with leading figures at United occasionally incurring his wrath. Mourinho believes the comments have crossed the line, particularly when it comes to £89 million midfielder Pogba, and he would prefer to see fan favourites being more constructive in their assessment of his methods and those at his disposal....

Matic hobbled off in the 54th minute and was replaced by Ander Herrera, with United going on to see their three-goal lead cut to just one with six minutes remaining. Man Utd 14/1 to win CL Jesse Lingard secured the victory for the Red Devils with a fine individual effort, but Mourinho felt the loss of the Serbian midfielder was key as his team struggled late on at Vicarage Road....

How Lindelof measures up to Man Utd’s other defenders West Brom boss Tony Pulis confirmed on Friday that they had launched a bid for the France international, which is reportedly worth close to £13million. Everton have also been linked with a bid for the midfielder, who has only played 11 minutes of Premier League football this term, having signed from Southampton in 2015. Mourinho has admitted that Schneiderlin has made his frustrations clear and that he will not deny him an exit if United’s board accept an offer....

Dominant Man Utd make Wembley a formality Goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini saw off a patchwork Hull side on Tuesday as United put one foot in another Wembley final. A ninth win in succession was met with a lukewarm response through much of the contest from the home fans, despite Mourinho’s gesturing for the volume to be raised at half-time. And with Liverpool arriving at Old Trafford on Sunday in a fixture between sides separated by five points in the Premier League table, Mourinho wants the crowd to fire up....

Andros Townsend gave Palace an early lead thanks to a deflected strike, but their second just after half-time raised serious concerns for Mourinho. Jeffrey Schlupp took a quick free-kick just inside the United half and played a ball in behind the defence for Patrick van Aanholt, who ran clean through and smashed past David de Gea. But United fought back thanks to goals from Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, with the latter’s stunning strike from 30 yards coming in stoppage time....

The 32-year-old who joined Paul Le Guen’s squad on a six-month loan in January, broke his duck after seven league games. Second half goals from Algeria’s Nabil Ghilas and Tayfur Bingol put Goztepe in control of the encounter at the Doganlar Stadium. But Sow, introduced for Nigeria midfielder Mikel Agu in the 72nd minute, pulled a goal back for the Green Crocodiles late in the game but was not enough to help them from avoiding a third consecutive loss in the Turkish top-flight....

The next morning, the fanatics apparently sent back a message: in Istanbul, truck bombs blew up outside the British Consulate, a massive relic of the old empire (designed by Sir Charles Barry, the architect of the Houses of Parliament in London), and an 18-story tower housing a British bank, killing at least 27 and wounding 450. In London, the suicide attacks effectively drowned out the noise of anti-Bush demonstrators. WILL BRITAIN BE HIT NEXT?...

Currently second from bottom on the table, the Hammers are yet to win any of four league games played under Moyes, who replaced Slaven Bilic last month. And with Ayew starting only one of those games, life at the London Stadium has certainly been challenging for the deputy Ghana captain under his new coach. “Going back to when I started, I think the squad was a group of players where we had a lot of centre forwards, a lot of left wingers,” Moyes said on Friday....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed a case in Massachusetts and is investigating possible cases in New York City, Florida, and Utah. Outbreaks are also occurring in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and several countries in Europe. However, your risk of contracting mpox is still low. “Monkeypox has never caused a sustained outbreak in the United States,” Robert Amler, MD, former chief medical officer at the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, told Verywell via email....

Berkeley is an extreme case, but it is not alone. Major universities are caught in a vise now: facing dreadful financial pressures and supporting aging faculties that no longer must retire at 65. Two years ago richly endowed Yale and prestigious Columbia shocked the academic community by threatening to chop outmoded departments and shrink their faculties. As they feel the pinch, administrators and trustees across the country have begun asking bottom-line questions, holding campuses to the standards of lean-and-mean private industry....

But once Johnson gets to Washington, the movie deteriorates. He finds that the nation’s capital is Scam City, with legislators gobbling up graft from special interests. Director Jonathan Lynn and scriptwriter (and former Mondale aide) Marty Kaplan settle for heavy-handed, sub-Capra convention and sentimentality: Johnson the chiseler becomes an instant populist when he meets a kid who’s gotten cancer, possibly from a big utility’s power lines. This movie can’t compete with the real Washington we’ve seen in the Hill-Thomas hearings and other spectaculars....

BY ZULHILMI ZAINAL Follow on Twitter Following round seven of the Malaysia Super League (MSL), only four clubs out of twelve changed positions in the standings. On Friday, fifth-placed PKNS FC needed a last-gasp goal to equalise against PKNP FC in ninth place at the Shah Alam Stadium, in a match humourously dubbed as ‘Der Klassikemajuan Negeri’. It was the visitors who opened the scoring, when Muhammad Safar’s strike from outside of the box in the 43rd minute was deflected in by Zac Anderson....

Goal count down the most promising players from the top competitions in the Malaysian football season in 2017, and here’s number 5. Penang had a season to forget in 2017 as they exit early from cup competitions as well as being relegated from the Super League but amidst the horror show for the Black Panthers, there are undoubtedly specks of positivity still to be had. If the season before saw Faiz Subri claiming all the limelight for his wonder goal that eventually won his the FIFA Puskas Award, the 2017 season sees Syamer Kutty Abba taking over the mantle of the shining light in a poor Penang team....

Even so, modern research indicates that mud baths appear to have some beneficial effects for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Mud baths are a type of balneotherapy, which involves treating conditions with mineral-rich water or mud. With mud, you can immerse your whole body, soak a body part (like a hand or foot), or pack mud around a part that’s harder to soak, like a knee....

The home is currently being built in Millcreek, Utah, by local developer, Dave Wilkes. Wilkes plans to sell the house via NFT, with prospective buyers bidding with cryptocurrency. The current asking price is around $4 million, with a successful purchase netting the owner of the virtual token control over the property. “Everything about the house—real estate property, the design of the house, the plans, the architecture, you know, all of the work that’s gone into the home—will be included in the NFT transaction with the buyer,” Wilkes told Utah Business....

The Department of Labor announced on Thursday that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will issue an emergency temporary standard from Friday, mandating businesses with 100 employees or more to develop a vaccination and testing policy within 30 days. Businesses will not have to provide the testing but employees must get tested. If companies fail to enforce the policy before January 4, they will face a fine of up to $14,000 per violation....

MultiVersus’ first season kicked off on Monday, August 15, and now we know the two new fighters will be making their way to the game. Black Adam will join the current MultiVersus roster of DC heroes, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn. Stripe from Gremlins will be joining the roster as well, which should be exciting news for fans of the creature-centric movie series. Right now, there are currently 17 characters in MultiVersus that can be unlocked by way of in-game currency simply through playing the game....

People who use multivitamins and multiminerals (MVM) self-report 30% overall better health, even though they have no apparent differences in measurable health outcomes than non-users, according to a study published in medical journal BMJ on November 4. Researchers based out of Boston, Massachusetts used data from nearly 5,000 adult MVM users and 16,670 non-users from the National Health Interview Survey to compare their health. They measured psychological and physical health, including 19 health conditions and 10 chronic diseases....

The approximately 1,000-year-old mummy was believed to be a male who died between the ages of 18 and 22, the researchers said in a statement on December 7. It was also believed the person probably held high social status or was a merchant. Yomira Silvia Huamán Santillán and Pieter Van Dalen Luna, archaeologists at the National University of San Marcos, said the pre-Inca mummy was discovered inside an oval-shaped tomb which was accessible by a seven-tier staircase....
