Manchester United could be without Marcus Rashford for Bournemouth game
Manchester United could again be without Marcus Rashford for their Premier League trip to Bournemouth on Saturday. The forward missed last weekend’s victory over Wolves with a leg injury but has trained all week and had been expected to be available before going down with illness. Manager Erik ten Hag said: “Rashy trained well the whole week but today he reported he doesn’t feel well, so he is ill. We have to see how he recovers during the day and then see tomorrow.” Defeats against Brighton and West Ham prior to the victory over Wolves coupled with Liverpool’s strong finish to the season have put United’s Champions League hopes in some jeopardy. They have a one-point advantage and a game in hand on their big rivals but can ill afford any more slip-ups. Ten Hag only has to look across the city to see the level United are aspiring to return to, but he knows finishing in the top four is key to everything. “When I see this project, first of all it’s important to get in the Champions League,” he said. “I don’t think today at that standard, I look to the next game, and that’s Bournemouth. When I see this project, first of all it's important to get in the Champions League Erik ten Hag “We have to win that game to get in the Champions League. We have everything in our hands so focus on the game, the games coming up, the first game is the most important.” The ongoing takeover process is also creating a cloud of uncertainty over United’s plans for next season, but Ten Hag said only of the club’s hierarchy: “We are talking every day.” Bournemouth hovered near the bottom of the table for much of the season but have pulled themselves out of trouble impressively, boasting recent wins over Liverpool and Tottenham. Ten Hag praised the job done by Gary O’Neil, saying: “As far as I can see, I think it’s really brilliant a club as Bournemouth, they are in the Premier League and already three games before the end of the season they are definitely next season in the Premier League as well. “It’s a massive performance from them. It’s a good team, there’s a really good structure. You can see clear patterns, so well done.” Scott McTominay is expected to be available to face Bournemouth but on-loan midfielder Marcel Sabitzer will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Asked whether the Bayern Munich player could have a future at Old Trafford, Ten Hag said: “We will see. It’s not our main focus, the main focus is Bournemouth.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Sam Allardyce wants positive Patrick Bamford response to social media threats Roberto De Zerbi: Brighton will be ready for fixture pile-up next season A look at the greatest comebacks in sporting history

Who are the biggest names on The Sunday Times Rich List 2023?
The Sunday Times Rich List has just dropped and some big names have made the cut. The annual survey estimates the wealthiest people in the UK and this year it features the King, the Prime Minister, and a handful of pop stars, as well as many business people you probably haven't heard of. It found there are 171 billionaires in the UK — down from 177 in 2022 and that many people's fortunes have decreased. Sir Richard Branson’s fortune has shrunk by 42.6 per cent to £2.41 billion, for instance. But that is still a lot of money, so we won't cry him a river. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Aside from Branson, here are some of the biggest names on the list. James Dyson Coming in at number five on the list, the hoover and airwrap magnate has a wealth of £23bn. A decent wedge. Mike Ashley The SportsDirect entrepreneur came 49th on the list. Richard Branson As said, he's lost a bit of money but he is still the 77th richest individual in the UK. Lord Sugar Best known for starring in The Apprentice, the businessman's £1.074bn coffers landed him spot number 165 this year. Sir Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell They have a pretty decent £950m. A pretty penny (lane). JK Rowling The controversial Harry Potter writer has magicked herself up £875m thanks to her writing talent. King Charles III With £600m, he comes in at 263 on the list. The Warburton Family There must be a reason why the saying "the best thing since sliced bread" is so well-known given sliced bread champions the Warburton family have £586m. Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murphy And sliced bread is clearly better than politics given the PM and his wife have £529m, down £201m from the previous year. Lord Lloyd-Webber With £504m, the Lloyd-Webber comes in at number 283. Sir Elton John The Rocketman crooner has £450. David and Victoria Beckham With £425m, the Beckham's have enough money to support their son through his various bizzare careers. Simon Cowell Cowell clearly has The X Factor. At number 337, he has £390m. Then there is the under 35 list. Ed Sheeran Sheeran comes in at seventh place with an estimated wealth of £300m. His sixth album Subtract was the UK's fastest selling in 2023. Adele Adele came in at ninth with £165m, thanks to selling more than 100 million albums. Harry Styles Styles is in joint 13th place with £150m. Dua Lipa Coming in at number 21 is Dua Lipa with an estimated £75m from music, modelling and podcasting. Daniel Radcliffe Radcliffe was 18th with £92m. Emma Watson Watson has an estimated wealth of £60m. Alright for some, eh! Have your say in our news democracy.
