After just over a year at Old Trafford, Casemiro’s long-term future at Manchester United has been called into question, with ex-Red Devils striker Dimitar Berbatov naming Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich as his “perfect” replacement. The Brazilian has been out with an ankle injury for the past few weeks, so youngster Kobbie Mainoo has filled in. One of Manchester United’s rumoured areas to improve in January is midfield, along with a new centre-back and experienced striker, fuelling speculation that Casemiro might leave Erik ten Hag’s side. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s new minority owner, has already questioned the decision to spend £60…

While George Russell wishes to be faster than Lewis Hamilton, he believes he has equaled “the greatest of all time” in F1 2023 and must draw benefits from that. Russell has now spent two seasons as seven-time World Champion Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate, however the second season did not go as well as the first. Russell finished his first season with the Silver Arrows ahead of Hamilton in the standings, but that swung for F1 2023, which produced a comfortable defeat for Russell over his renowned team-mate. George Russell is keeping up with Lewis Hamilton’s speed. Russell described his F1…
FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS — After a bad night in Denver, Chad Ryland redeemed himself with a game-winning kick that cut through the thin Rocky Mountain air and into the uprights on Sunday, earning the Patriots an upset victory over the Broncos. The Broncos were within striking reach of the playoffs when they were defeated. What about this week? Russell Wilson is no longer the starter, and reports suggest that he will not even be on the squad in spring. Now, the Patriots go to Buffalo to face a Buffalo Bills squad that appears to have turned its ship around. (Do you…
The Miami Heat did more than just defeat the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. They “demoralized” them, according to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. In handing Golden State a 114-102 home loss, Miami led by as many as 22 points in the fourth quarter. That is even more impressive when considering the fact the Heat were playing without Jimmy Butler (calf), Kyle Lowry (soreness), Caleb Martin (ankle) and Josh Richardson (back). Tyler Herro led Miami with 26 points as he continues to play well since his return earlier this month from an ankle injury. The Heat have won four…
Robert Kubica returned to Formula One in 2019 after an almost decade-long layoff. The Pole made a brave return, but things did not go as well as he had hoped. When he debuted with BMW-Sauber in 2007, Robert Kubica established himself as a Formula One star. He battled championship rivals Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen on points with a few of podiums and a win in the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, but a lack of investment ultimately ended his title challenge. Kubica eventually joined Renault in 2010, but at the end of that season he was involved in a catastrophic…
