Bad news for Anthony Martial and Manchester United fans

Manchester United midfielder Anthony Martial has been forced to withdraw from Didier Deschamps’ latest France squad after picking up an injury against Wolverhampton Wanderers over the weekend.

The United attacker played the full 90 minutes in a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side but felt severe pain in his knee following the FA Cup quarter-final exit.

Martial had only just returned to action following a month on the sidelines due to a groin problem suffered during the first leg Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain . But a fresh problem has emerged and the French national team confirmed he was forced to withdraw.

Doctors of both Manchester United and France agreed he should remain at the club’s Carrington base, with Thomas Lemar called up in his place for matches against Moldova and Iceland.

It’s unknown at this stage how serious Martial’s knee injury is, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hope to have him back for Manchester United’s next match against Watford at the end of March.

Teddy Sheringham has claimed that his former strike partner Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already been given the Manchester United job on a permanent basis.


Solskjaer has been in interim charge since replacing Jose Mourinho in December, during which time he has transformed the club’s fortunes to drag them into the quarter-finals of the Champions League and back into the top-four race domestically.

United initially planned to wait until the summer before appointing a permanent successor, but United’s form under the Norwegian had led them to consider bringing the announcement forward.

Successive defeats against Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers have prompted the first questions regarding Solskjaer’s leadership, but Sheringham believes that it is already a done deal.

“I’ve heard they’ve given it to him already,” Sheringham told BBC 5Live.

Sheringham later added to BBC Sport: “Last two games a bit of a blip but I think he’s been a breath of fresh air to be honest. I think there was a lot of people surprised when he first got the job.

“He’s come in and he’s brought in all the old traditions of what Sir Alex [Ferguson] used to portray to us: what it’s like to play for Manchester United, the privilege of the players and all the players that have played before us, you know, a real honour to wear the shirt.

“I think that’s been instilled in the players again. They’ve got a life about them. A desire to work hard for the shirt and really put in a shift. He’s obviously doing a fantastic job. He’s obviously excelled his expectations since he’s gone in there. He’s got to get the job.”

Solskjaer has won 14 of his 19 games in charge of United across all competitions – the same number of games Mourinho won in his final 32 matches at the helm

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
