⚽ Jonathan Wilson: is Carrick more than the new Solskjær?
⚽ Scores | Tables | Premier League top scorers

This, from my MBM colleague Tim de Lisle, is a terrific read on what Michael Carrick’s Manchester United did so well last weekend.

United showed more intensity than usual, as you’d expect in a derby, but they also showed more composure. Carrick had called for it beforehand, and as possibly the calmest player ever seen in a United shirt, he speaks with some authority on the subject. When Amad broke away in the 33rd minute, he coolly rounded Donnarumma and rolled the ball into an empty net. When Fernandes broke away eight minutes later, he went one better, landing a defender on his backside after rounding the keeper. Both goals were disallowed, but they stood as statements of intent.

It’s never the same again! Every game is different but we’ve had a good week and we’re in good shape. We understand this has been a tough place to come for many teams. But we’re going into the game in a good spirit and that’s the most important thing.

As if Disney vacations weren't already expensive.

Republican senator says ‘credibility’ of ICE and DHS are ‘at stake’ as calls come from both sides of political divide

Pressure mounted on Donald Trump’s administration on Sunday to fully investigate the previous day’s killing by federal immigration officers of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have come from all sides of the political divide after video analysis showed officers had removed from Pretti a handgun he was reportedly permitted to carry – and which he was not handling – before fatally shooting him.

Flood of boasts, broadsides and conspiracy theories leaves envoys sifting for the signal within the Trumpian noise

How does one keep tabs on, and then interpret, a president who in a single year sent out more than 6,000 social media posts, conducted more than 433 open press events and held free-associating press conferences lasting close to two hours? The White House Stenographer’s Office calculates it has transcribed 2.4 million of Trump’s words, four times the length of Tolstoy’s epic War and Peace.

Tracking Trump is not just a problem for exhausted reporters – but also exhausted diplomats, who are tasked with searching for the signal in the ceaseless Trumpian noise.

Yousef Pezeshkian says nothing will be solved by trying to postpone moment footage of violent crackdown circulate

The son of Iran’s president has called for the internet restrictions in the country to be lifted, saying nothing will be solved by trying to postpone the moment when pictures and video circulate of the protests that were violently crushed by the regime.

With a battle under way at the top of the regime about the political risks of continuing to block Iran from the internet, Yousef Pezeshkian, whose father, Masoud, was elected in the summer of 2024, said keeping the digital shutdown would create dissatisfaction and widen the gap between the people and the government.

Special teams have quietly shaped every Rams-Seahawks meeting this season — and they could decide who reaches Super Bowl LX on Sunday.

If this was a taste of what life on the road under Liam Rosenior might be like for Chelsea fans then anyone who doubted his appointment may want to think again. A stunning individual performance from Estêvão, who scored the first after a mistake from fellow teenager Jaydee Canvot before setting up João Pedro for the second, inspired his side to end a run of five Premier League games without an away victory at the first attempt as they piled on the misery for Crystal Palace, who also had Adam Wharton sent off.

A controversial penalty from Enzo Fernández compounded a terrible afternoon for Canvot – the 19-year-old tasked with replacing captain Marc Guéhi after he was sold to Manchester City – as Oliver Glasner’s side stretched their winless run against Chelsea in the Premier League to 17 matches. It is now also 11 games without a victory in all competitions for last season’s FA Cup winners despite a late consolation from Chris Richards, with Palace nervously looking over their shoulders and wondering where the next points are coming from with trips to Nottingham Forest and arch-rivals Brighton up next.

Experts say souped-up e-bikes pose big risk for children aged from 12 to 15, who account for many A&E cases

On a busy lunchtime, thick-tyred electric bikes zoom through the leafy lanes of the Vondelpark in Amsterdam. But after a marked rise in accidents – particularly involving children – these vehicles the Dutch call “fatbikes” are to be banned in some parts of the Netherlands.

“It’s nonsense!” said Henk Hendrik Wolthers, 69, from the saddle of his wide-tyred, electric Mate bike. “I drive a car, I ride a motorbike, I’ve had a moped and now I ride a fatbike. This is the quickest means of transport in the city and you should be able to use it.”

Sundance film festival: an inventively made fantasy boasts eye-catching premise and typically rewarding performance from Oscar-winner but something’s missing

In terms of attention-demanding loglines, this year’s Sundance has a few. There’s body horror Saccharine, about a diet craze that involves eating human ashes, midnight movie Buddy, about a Barney-esque kids TV star who starts murdering children and then there’s Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant which, well, you can probably imagine.

But the annual “wait, what?” prize easily goes to offbeat fable Wicker, the story of a smelly spinster fisherwoman who commissions herself a husband made of, that’s right, wicker. While the film does have its expected amount of audience-provoking moments – wicker-fucking bringing the most noise both on and off the screen – to its credit, there’s an attempt to give us more than just easy shock value, something that can’t always be said for films in this often tedious category. Writer-directors Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, who previously brought mostly likeable alien invasion comedy Save Yourselves! to the festival, use their far-out premise to touch upon more of-our-world issues like the patriarchal cruelty of marriage and the special fury reserved for those who dare to live outside of the accepted rules. They succeed in brief flashes but ultimately, there’s too much here that doesn’t gel, a tonally uneven mix of mostly unfunny bawdy humour, dark fantasy and unlikely romance, too much wood but not enough fire.

Nottingham Forest finished their rollercoaster week on the up, with three away points against Brentford restoring their five-point buffer from the relegation zone.

Mouthwatering goals from Forest’s maligned strikers, first Igor Jesus with a blaster then a solo effort from Taiwo Awoniyi, put memories of fan displeasure after defeat in the Europa League behind Sean Dyche and his team and confirmed four league points in eight days after their Arsenal draw. Awoniyi’s goal in particular was a welcome milestone, his first since being placed in an induced coma after he collided with a post at the end of last season.
