Manchester United crushed Leeds United 6-2 while Leicester City handed Tottenham Hotspur a second straight defeat in the Premier League on Sunday. United’s win, with two goals each for midfielders Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes, sent Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side up to third on 26 points, above fourth-placed Everton on goal difference.

Sam Allardyce’s debut in charge of struggling West Bromwich Albion ended in…

Tesla Inc will on Monday make its much anticipated debut into the benchmark S&P 500 index, after rising to a record high on Friday in a frantic day of trading. The company, headed by billionaire Elon Musk, will become the most valuable ever admitted to Wall Street’s main benchmark and will account for 1.69% of the index, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices’ analyst Howard Silverblatt. The shares have surged some 70% since mid-November, when Tesla’s debut in the S&P 500 was announced here, and have soared 700% so far in 2020. Tesla’s addition to the S&P 500 meant index-tracking funds…

NHS chiefs have warned that hospitals are already creaking under the strain, with fears of a ‘tsunami’ of cases after Boris Johnson refused to scrap five-day festive ‘bubbles’ that allow three households to mix. Experts suggested this morning that infections could actually fall over Christmas because the two ‘main routes of infection’ – schools and workplaces – are closed. However, SAGE member Professor John Edmunds cautioned that deaths were still likely to rise afterwards, because vulnerable elderly people would have been infected by family. The growing anxiety in government about the coronavirus situation was underlined yesterday when swathes of the home…

Marcus Rashford scored twice as Manchester United extended their 100 percent record on the road, coming from behind again to win 3-2 at the Premier League’s bottom club Sheffield United on Thursday. United have now won all six away league games this season — conceding first on each occasion — and the latest comeback victory moved them up to sixth place, on 23 points, five behind leaders Liverpool but with a game in hand. Sheffield United’s solitary point from 13 matches is the worst start by a team in any top-flight campaign and the Blades have now lost eight matches…

Calais, France’s busiest road freight port, is ready for the return of customs formalities on trade moving between Britain and the European Union and will avoid chaotic queues of trucks if businesses follow procedures, its chief executive said. Britain formally transitions out of the EU’s customs union and single market at 2300 GMT on Dec 31, after which companies will have to complete customs declarations whether there is a post-Brexit trade deal or not. Businesses shifting goods between Britain and the world’s largest trading bloc have warned of major disruption to just-in-time supply chains. “Brexit is not synonymous with chaos.…

Manchester City have helped raise spirits in the festive season by donating funds and other gifts to vulnerable families in the local community, the Premier League club said on Friday. Players and staff members were among those that funded, wrapped and delivered over 5,000 Christmas presents to school children in East Manchester and those in the care of Manchester City Council. The club also donated 500 three-course meals to local families in East, Central and South Manchester, and 45,000 everyday essential items to 10 charities across the city. “We all know how difficult this year has been and that for…

Britain and European Union have just hours left to navigate the very narrow path to a trade deal that would prevent the most turbulent finale to the Brexit crisis in less than two weeks’ time, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday. As talks go down to the wire, both sides are demanding the other compromise amid a flurry of often conflicting messages that, variously, a deal is possible, a deal is in serious trouble or that a deal is imminent. An accord would ensure that the goods trade which makes up half of annual EU-UK commerce, worth nearly…

Marcus Rashford’s mother Melanie Maynard has said the Manchester United forward’s motivation to ensure poor children do not go hungry came from his own experiences growing up when she struggled to put food on the table. Rashford has been at the forefront of a campaign to end child food poverty and successfully lobbied the government to continue providing free school meals during the holidays. He was awarded an MBE for services to vulnerable children during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester. “I had three jobs and if I didn’t do that we…

British finance minister Rishi Sunak said he would tackle the country’s coronavirus-inflated budget deficit because of the risks of a future shock to the economy and higher borrowing costs that could hammer the public finances. “Running a structural deficit years into the future, with debt rising? That’s not building up the resilience you need to deal with the future shock that will come along,” Sunak told the Spectator magazine in an interview. “We now have had two of these things in a decade: who knows what the next shock will look like?” After a spending surge authorised by Sunak, Britain…
