Once again, the Gunners defensive frailties were laid bare as Swansea came back from Nacho Monreal’s well-finished opener to beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium. Arsene Wenger has already admitted that his team have been distracted by the January transfer business going on in and around the club, but there can be no excuses for another dismal collapse at the hands of a relegation-threatened Premier League side. The Gunners have won just three of their 13 Premier League away games this season....

A national survey released Monday by Harvard University found that 63 percent of respondents aged 18-29 said they would “definitely” vote in this year’s election. The result is a substantial increase over the 47 percent who said the same before the 2016 election, and it matches the 63 percent of respondents aged 18-24 who said they would “definitely” vote before the 2008 election. “Young Americans recognize that the issues that impact their day-to-day lives are on the ballot, from health care and mental health to racial and social justice,” Mark Gearan, director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, said in a statement....

Ronaldo misses Real Madrid training Last season’s champions find themselves in a relegation battle, sitting just a point clear of 18th-placed Hull City after a 2-0 loss at Swansea City on Sunday. Claudio Ranieri’s men are without a league goal this year, going six games without finding the net. Morgan revealed the players held a meeting ahead of their trip to Liberty Stadium, acknowledging the position they were in....

Because both countries had something to gain—and not only American recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. The world is changing in ways that are both positive and negative and, for rulers like Morocco’s King Mohammed VI, hiding from the negative is not a good option. Instability in both North Africa and the second tier of African countries—Sudan, Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Nigeria—is threatening chaos. In the best of times, those countries represent difficult amalgams of (sometimes violently) competing religions, multiple (and sometimes violent) ethnic groups, corrupt governments and poverty....

After thrashing Costa Rica 7-0 in their opening game of the 2022 finals, La Roja’s 1-1 draw with Germany and shock 2-1 defeat to Japan meant they only reached the Round of 16 on goal difference after an extraordinary final matchday in Group E. Unbeaten in eight games since losing 3-0 to USA in June, Morocco shocked Belgium and beat Canada to finish top of Group F and take new coach Walid Regragui’s record to four wins and two draws since his appointment in September, a run that includes five clean sheets....

The new survey from the Recovery Village, the results of which were published Monday, showed that two-thirds (66 percent) of parents said their children had feelings of “concern or anxiety” about going back to school. About three-quarters (74 percent) of parents also said the pandemic has affected their child’s mental health, with 27 percent saying this impact was “significant.” Although children are concerned about returning to school, 38 percent of parents said their child would prefer to return to the classroom over continuing with remote education....

We saw a glimpse in 2017 when the Oilers went to the second round. We got a tease in 2020 when McDavid had nine points, but Edmonton failed to advance past the qualifying round. In 2022, we finally are getting the full spectacle. It’s hard to find the words that will correctly give McDavid’s performance justice. In 10 games so far in the playoffs, the Oilers captain has six goals and 17 assists, good for 23 points....

While today’s iconoclastic visual artists like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin are hotly de-bated among art aficionados, in the world of music, contemporary classical composers inhabit a dissonant ghetto all their own. Few people listen to them, few critics review them and few people understand them. Western classical music as a whole makes up only 3.5 percent of the world’s total music market (contemporary works aren’t broken out separately). In 2002, classical-album sales were down 17 percent....

The Portuguese has been criticised for his defensive style of play when tackling top-six opponents, particularly away from home. These resurfaced again this season when United were held to a 0-0 draw at Liverpool, and even a 1-0 success over Tottenham at Old Trafford did little to quell criticism aimed in his direction. Man Utd to beat Blues 2/1 With such a sizeable fanbase, Mourinho is away of the pressure that is on him to bring success to the club, but he says that he will “fight” to do so....

The 25-year-old's move to Old Trafford is expected to be completed on Friday, after a delay due to Chelsea's negotiations with Mohamed Salah and poor weather conditions.

"We allowed Juan to travel and have a medical at Manchester United," he said....

United went ahead through Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday, but Leander Dendoncker equalised late on for the hosts in Belgium.

To play at home with an advantage is a good result in any case,” he told a news conference....

Such is the power that Neymar commands at the Parc des Princes, the Spaniards’ inability to please the world’s most expensive player could cost him his job. Le Parisiens 7/2 to win CL Though the former Sevilla boss strains to express that relations between the pair are cordial, he struggles to disguise a different tale. “For me, what happens on the field is the most important thing. All that goes on outside is not the most important....

The Red Devils were famed during Sir Alex Ferguson’s iconic reign for their ability to pick up points when not at their best, with those traits delivering an enviable haul of major silverware. United have struggled to scale those heights since the legendary Scot headed into retirement, with Mourinho finishing 2017-18 empty-handed after landing three trophies in his debut campaign. The Portuguese has found the going tough again at times this term, but he has seen his side collect three successive victories over recent weeks – with the latest of those seeing Juventus stunned by a dramatic finish to a Champions League clash in Turin....

Jesse Lingard struck on either side of half-time to get the holders back on track following their shock Premier League defeat at Huddersfield Town on Saturday. United 13/10 to beat Spurs Mourinho blasted his side for lacking the required desire in that match and responded with seven changes at the Liberty Stadium.

Those at Old Trafford have not been treated to too many displays from an £89 million asset that could fall into that category since he returned to England in 2016. Pogba was, however, to make a telling contribution for his country in their opening fixture at World Cup 2018, with the 25-year-old edging them to a 2-1 win with an 80th-minute effort. Mourinho feels a strike which cannoned down off the crossbar and required goal-line technology to confirm it was valid should have been credited to unfortunate Socceroos defender Aziz Behich....
