Talking to The Daily Beast, Jimmy Kimmel opened up about his recent interview with Kanye West, in which he asked the rapper if he believes Donald Trump cares about black people.

I think he doesn’t feel…

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is one of the best Manchester United signings ever. Acquired as a little known youngster from Molde for just £1.5 million in the summer of 1996, he went on to become a hugely influential forward — especially when coming off the bench — scoring 126 goals for the club. Thus it is only logical that a new striker from Molde should attract the interest of the Red Devils, especially when one takes into account that he is coached by Solskjaer himself. That is why Manchester United sent a scout to watch Erling Haaland in action with Molde…

Jose Mourinho broke down in tears. Manchester United had overlooked one of the greatest managers in history to appoint one who had never won a trophy. It is, according to Spanish journalist Diego Torres, what happened when the then-Real Madrid manager discovered United had opted for David Moyes in 2013. But it could have been a scene from the more recent past: Mauricio Pochettino was on United’s radar in 2016. The choice boiled down to four men: persisting with Louis van Gaal offered continuity but baffling sterility; promoting Ryan Giggs promised unparalleled experience of life inside Old Trafford but with…

Unai Emery is confident that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s scoring form will return quickly as long as his teammates continue creating chances. “I am sure they are going to score if we create a lot of chances in the game,” Emery said at a news conference on Thursday. “Maybe the players cannot score three good chances in one match and on another day, I am sure they are going to do maybe the same chances in one match and score three. Aubameyang is a player who, in his career, has scored a lot and he is going to do that here also.”…
