The sideshow split between player and manager has hogged the headlines of late, but the issues facing Mourinho clearly don’t start and end with the French midfielder, and on the evidence of the 3-1 loss at the London Stadium very few of the United squad are playing for their boss right now. United legend Rio Ferdinand’s comments to BT Sport before kick-off were telling. “In the past we’ve seen managers relieved of their duties, that’s what would normally happen,” said the six-time Premier League winner....

Pogba suffered a hamstring injury during Tuesday’s Champions League win over Basel, and missed United’s comprehensive 4-0 victory over Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday. The club have yet to announce how long the France international will be out of action for, but Mourinho has been quick to pour cold water on suggestions he might be unavailable for up to three months. Mourinho said: “I don’t know if it is 12 weeks or 12 days....

The damning statistics behind Manchester United’s 2-1 derby loss to neighbours City on Sunday ran much deeper than the scoreline itself, and each one only seemed to underline the argument of those opposed to Jose Mourinho’s game plan. He had gladly handed over the initiative to the best team in the country and his side had been utterly impotent on those few occasions they actually got on the ball....

The Slovenian official drew the ire of Mourinho during the Portuguese’s second spell in charge of Chelsea after failing to award a penalty during a 0-0 Champions League group-stage draw at Dynamo Kiev last season. Mourinho thanks ref for Herrera red card “The referee was weak and naive.

Mourning for Microsoft Judge Jackson decided that Microsoft has an unfair advantage in the marketplace and ordered this company to split into two (“Microsoft’s Six Fatal Errors”, U.S. AFFAIRS, June 19). At present, the United States is the only superpower in the world. This is patently unfair to other nations trying to join the global economy. Maybe we should petition the honorable judge to order America to split up into two independent countries?...

Sunderland twice came from behind thanks to a pair of Jermain Defoe penalties, with the second being awarded after Sadio Mane had blocked Sebastian Larsson’s free-kick with his hand. Man United on best run since Fergie Klopp subsequently suggested that the free-kick - given for a foul by Lucas on Defoe - should never have been given, meaning the penalty would never have come about. However, Sunderland should arguably have been awarded another spot-kick with the scores at 1-1, when Emre Can’s arm made contact with the ball in the box....

Welcome to Moussegate–the latest “silly season” scandal to strike the 2008 presidential campaign. On Sunday, a New York attorney named Lauren Handel was searching the Web for a recipe by passionate TV host Giada DeLaurentis–but Google kept steering her to the “Cindy’s Recipes” page of JohnMcCain.com instead. After a bit of sleuthing, Handel discovered that four of the seven meals listed as “McCain Family Recipes”–Ahi Tuna with Napa Cabbage Slaw, Passion Fruit Mousse, Rosemary Chicken Breasts and Warm Spinach Salad with Bacon and Farfalle with Turkey Sausage, Peas and Mushrooms–were lifted word-for-word from the Food Network’s Web site; Cindy even sent the mousse recipe to the New York Sun earlier this year....

Goal counts down the most promising players from the top competitions in the Malaysian football season in 2017, and here’s number 4. Selangor’s financial instability in 2017 meant they had to rely on more young players as compared to the other sides.

Melber asked Meadows if he thought it was “a good idea to have Ukraine investigate the Bidens,” which Democrats allege Trump attempted to pressure Ukraine into doing in exchange for foreign aid.

The budget compromise last fall committed the country to billions of dollars in defense cuts. Regrettably, with the first bomb on Baghdad, that deal was blown. Even more regrettably, military spending has almost no effect on long-term economic growth, according to studies by economist David Aschauer of Bates College in Maine. To stimulate the economy, the government should be pouring its money into dams, bridges, ports and roads. Every dollar spent on infrastructure, Aschauer says, adds $4 to national output within four or five years because it helps business operate more efficiently....

What people will remember most about the Germany-Portugal game in Salvador that opened Group G competition at the 2014 World Cup most likely will be Muller’s hat trick in a 4-0 German victory.

He made a mockery of the sport on its holiest stage....
