Liverpool thrash Spurs 6-3, extend Premier League lead; Man United stumble

Liverpool heads into Christmas with a four-point lead, a game in hand and as the overwhelming title favorite in the Premier League on the back of a wild 6-3 win at Tottenham. As for Manchester United and its new manager Ruben Amorim, they stumble into the festive period in 13th place as low as they've been at Christmas since the 1989-90 season and with a familiar sinking feeling. United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth for the second straight season, the latest statistic to show just how far this English giant has fallen and the job Amorim has to turn around its fortunes. Worse for United, it seems like great rival Liverpool cannot be stopped. Make that 21 games in all competitions without defeat after the Reds' biggest league win of the season, with Mohamed Salah netting two of the goals to move above Manchester City's Erling Haaland to the top of the scoring charts. Liverpool has 39 points from 16 games and stretched its lead over second-place Chelsea, which could only draw 0-0

Man United's Mason Mount faces several weeks on sidelines with injury

Mason Mount faces several weeks out of action because of a latest injury, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim said. The midfielder was substituted after 14 minutes of the 2-1 win over Manchester City on Sunday due to a muscle problem and was consoled by teammates as he left the field. It was the latest setback in an injury-disrupted time for Mount since he joined United from Chelsea last year. He has made just eight Premier League starts since the beginning of last season. Amorim did not give a definitive timeline for Mount's recovery, saying only that he would be out for several weeks." I don't know the exact date but he is going to be out for a long time. In that sense, it is part of football and we continue," he said. What I can do is to help Mase,' to teach him how to play our game when he is recovering. With Mason Mount, we are going to help him. It is really hard for the player to be out for so long and he's trying really hard. Victor Lindelof was substituted before .

Ruben Amorim reveals his mission after joining Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has told Manchester United fans he will do everything to bring the good times back to the 20-time English champion. United's new coach has been charged with ending more than a decade of decline at Old Trafford since former manager Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and its Premier League dominance fizzled out. Amorim hired from Sporting Lisbon this month is embracing the challenge and said on Friday, I will try to do everything to put this club in the place that it belongs. And I believe a lot that we are going to succeed. The 39-year-old Portuguese is the sixth permanent manager/coach since Ferguson retired after winning his 13th league title. David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag all failed to return United to the summit of English and European soccer in a period when Pep Guardiola's Manchester City has dominated domestically. It is unlikely Amorim will change that this year after coming in partway through a season in which .

Garnacho's unusual goal reaction explained by Man United captain Bruno

Alejandro Garnacho's low-key goal celebration against Leicester on Sunday was because he believes some Manchester United fans have lost faith in him, captain Bruno Fernandes said. Garnacho curled a long-range shot into the top corner to seal a 3-0 win for United at Old Trafford, but instead of celebrating with the crowd, he looked frustrated as he made his way back to the halfway line for the restart. Garnacho scored a banger but didn't celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans," Fernandes told the BBC. "I told him people will always moan, but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do. I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference-makers. They are the ones who win us games." Garnacho came on as a 57th-minute substitute and scored his seventh goal of the season. The 20-year-old Argentina international is considered one of United's brightest young players and scored in last season's FA Cup final wi

Europa League: Manchester United ends winless run in Europe, beats PAOK

Manchester United secured its first win in Europe for more than a year by beating PAOK 2-0 in the Europa League. Two second-half goals from Amad Diallo sealed the victory at Old Trafford on Thursday and boosted United's hopes of progressing in the competition, while Tottenham's 100% start was ended by a 3-2 loss at Galatasaray. United's last win in Europe was against Copenhagen in the Champions League on Oct. 24 last year. We addressed that in the dressing room and it was time to change that, so we did, United interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy said. Diallo's looping header beat PAOK goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski in the 50th minute and he followed that up with a deflected shot from outside the area that nestled into the bottom corner in the 77th. It's two wins from three games for United under Van Nistelrooy, who has one more match against Leicester on Sunday before handing over to Ruben Amorim. It is not clear if there will be a role for the Dutchman after his temporary reig

Amorim heading into Man United job on back of huge win over Man City

Call him the new Alex Ferguson. Ruben Amorim endeared himself to fans of Manchester United, the team where he'll soon be coach, by leading current club Sporting Lisbon to a 4-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday. Ahead of his final home game in charge of Sporting after more than four years, Amorim quipped that United fans will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived if he was able to lead Sporting to victory over City one of the favorites for the European title. While that might be too strong after all, Ferguson is regarded as one of soccer's greatest managers after his trophy-laden spell at Old Trafford from 1986-2013 United supporters might be thinking they finally have a coach who can bring the good times back to a club that has lost its way since Ferguson's departure more than a decade ago. Someone who can take on and beat City's esteemed manager Pep Guardiola, too. He's so much better than me at the moment, Amorim said, but I believe a l

EPL round-up: Liverpool fights back vs Arsenal; Man United loses again

As the weeks go by, Liverpool is showing the quality and resilience to be Manchester City's chief title rival in the Premier League this season. Liverpool twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Arsenal on Sunday, with Mohamed Salah scoring the second equalizer in the 81st minute at Emirates Stadium. It's just one loss in 13 games in all competitions for Liverpool under new manager Arne Slot this season. A testing past week has seen the Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 in the league, eke out a 1-0 win in Leipzig in the Champions League, and now battle back for a draw at Arsenal the other likely challenger for City's crown.
