The Red Devils can still secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, but a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal means their fate is no longer in their own hands. Mourinho was quick to rule his side out of the running after making eight changes to his side at Emirates Stadium, with the Europa League considered to be a top priority. Neville: Mou didn’t care about loss United hold a slender 1-0 lead in their semi-final clash with Celta Vigo ahead of a return date at Old Trafford on Thursday, but their manager remains calm despite there being no guarantees that an expensively-assembled squad will be back among the continental elite next season....

The Red Devils have won few admirers for their brand of football since seeing the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson slip into retirement. David Moyes oversaw a humbling fall from grace, while Louis van Gaal was considered to be far too conservative for the Old Trafford faithful. Mourinho has put United back into contention for major honours, but he too has been accused of favouring a defensive mindset which stands in stark contrast to the attacking philosophies being embraced at arch rivals Manchester City and Liverpool....

Mourinho and Guardiola had numerous battles during their time in Spain when in charge of bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. Bayern backed to beat new-look Milan in ICC Ahead of United’s meeting with Manchester City at the International Champions Cup on Thursday, Mourinho said the competitiveness of the Premier League meant those clashes were never likely to be repeated. “In Spain, it is two clubs fighting against each other....

Did Mourinho mock Klopp with Wembley ‘wind’ excuse? The France international has been in and out of the United starting XI throughout the season and was left out of last week’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City in the Premier League as well as Thursday’s defeat to Hull City in the FA Cup. Martial has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford due to a frustrating period, with his agent admitting an offer from Sevilla would be considered....

The heartbreaking truth behind child abuse in English football United impressed in a 4-0 Europa League victory over Feyenoord on Thursday and resume domestic action at West Ham on Sunday, heading into the weekend in sixth place, nine points shy of Chelsea at the summit. Mourinho was quick to point to the mid-season comeback from Manchester City that denied Chelsea, before the Blues marched to glory in 2014-15. And the Portuguese was unable to resist a reprisal of his recent critique of Arsene Wenger’s league record at Arsenal and a perceived lack of credit for his own achievements when addressing reporters ahead of United’s trip to London Stadium....

“I do not want to enter into controversy but the other day [some journalists] told me that Sergio Ramos was ‘a crack’ (a great player) and I told them, ‘No, the one who is a crack is Diego Godin’. “For how he plays the ball, his strength, and how he controls the game from his position - that, yes, is a real crack.” He’s not wrong either. There is no better defender than Godin in Russia, because there is no better defender in the world....

Philip Anschutz certainly does, and in about as much time as it takes to sit through the coming attractions, the secretive billionaire investor has grabbed control of three of the nation’s biggest theater chains, representing one out of five movie screens in the country. His cinematic shopping spree comes at a pivotal moment for movie theaters, which have been bleeding red ink and are hunting for new ways to boost flat ticket sales....

Since it features a Mormon leading character, the movie’s distributor had counted on pulling the Mormon niche market, which has boosted many Utah indie films. “Having a large Mormon following has been everything to us,” says David Hunter, a producer whose Mormon-themed “The R.M.” debuted with the highest per-screen average in the country. If the R sticks, Abel says, “we’ll have to look outside the Jell-O belt.”

To further the conversation, NEWSWEEK assembled a panel last week to explore the complexities. One after another, the people who actually make heavily violent movies, records and games declined to participate, just as they did when the White House called. This could be a sign that they are feeling the heat–or perhaps just avoiding it. Those who did take part in the NEWSWEEK forum include Wayne LaPierre, executive director of the NRA; Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America; Hillary Rosen, president of the Recording Industry Association of America; Doug Lowenstein, president of the Interactive Digital Software Association; Marshall Herskovitz, TV and movie producer and director, and Jonah Green, a 15-year-old New York high-school student....

Rooney breaks Man Utd goal record The Baggies went in front through Darren Fletcher’s well-taken goal, before Chris Brunt profited from some slack Sunderland defending to brilliantly rifle in the second at The Hawthorns. Swansea City’s surprise win at Liverpool earlier on Saturday leaves Sunderland rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and manager Moyes was left despairing at their poor defending. “We played better in the second than the first that is for sure....

Scarborough noted, “We can draw the analogies” with “the rise of Hitler” because both leaders were supported by businesses for the benefit of their bottom lines. The Quote “You know, Ed Luce, you know your history much better than I do, but during the rise of Hitler—you know, by the way, we can draw the analogies as far as we can talk about this being 1933,” said Scarborough in a conversation with Edward Luce, the U....

Sirefman is not alone. As the 20-year-old Japanese design chain launches a push onto the Continent, its line of sleek, moderately priced furniture, clothing, accessories and stationery is attracting an international cult following that includes celebrities like Johnny Depp and Catherine Deneuve. Its fans, mostly cosmopolitan twentysomethings, have spread the word about Muji–short for Mujirushi Ryohin, or “no brand goods”–via Internet, Concorde and bullet train. Americans, though separated from the shops by an ocean on either side, make up some of the chain’s most passionate devotees....

The most notable thing about Mike’s presence at the backyard gathering was that, for the first time in years, he was unaccompanied by the armed security team that previously accompanied him. The security detail was mandated in 1993 after Judge Mukasey imposed a life sentence on Omar Abdel-Rahman, the so-called “blind sheik” behind a foiled attempt to bomb New York City landmarks after the first attack on the World Trade Center....

One individual of the species was found on November 2 in the 7000 block of Bradner Road in Abbotsford, British Columbia, the Canadian province’s Ministry of Agriculture said. The ministry told beekeepers in the area to keep a lookout for Asian giant hornets—popularly referred to as “murder hornets”—and report any specimens that they see to the authorities. Vespa mandarinia is native to parts of eastern and southern Asia including Russia, the Korean Peninsula, China, Taiwan, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and Japan....

Symptoms Making a diagnosis of a muscle contusion is relatively straightforward if there is an obvious injury the athlete or patient remembers but can be more difficult if the particular injury is not recalled. Typically, the issue is to exclude other, often more serious injuries. These injuries may include fractures (broken bones), dislocations, and complete muscle ruptures. Common symptoms of muscle contusion injuries include: Pain directly over the contused area Swelling, bruising, and redness Painful range or motion...

Madonna’s resilience has always been credited to her penchant for reinventing her image. But while she does trot out a new look for each album, she also introduces a new sound, and her sonic experimentation is what has truly maintained her appeal. Since the mid-’90s, Madonna has handpicked producers who are huge among the dance music underground but unknown to the general public. Sometimes it sticks, as on 1998’s “Ray of Light,” the William Orbit-produced album that stands among her most critically and commercial successful projects....

The music producer, who is also the CEO and co-founder of Murder Inc. Records, tells a story in the new BET docu-series which has irritated a number of viewers. Fans of the singer Ashanti have called out Gotti for his behavior within the story, while others suggested they’re simply cringing at Gotti’s recollection. The five-part series The Murder Inc Story on BET tells how the record label was founded in 1999 and became a successful business and hit-maker in the noughties with musicians including Ashanti, Ja Rule, Charli Baltimore and more signed up....
