Phil Jones will leave Manchester United when his contract expires in the summer after making just 13 appearances in his last four seasons of an injury-hit dozen years at Old Trafford. The defender, who Sir Alex Ferguson infamously said could become United’s greatest-ever player, made 229 appearances for the club in total, scoring six goals. He has missed the whole of this season, when he was omitted from United’s 25-man Premier League squad by manager Erik ten Hag, just as he did not play in 2020-21. Jones said: “It’s been very difficult, the last couple of years. There’s no denying that. There is no hiding away from that. My family have been absolutely instrumental in keeping me on the straight and narrow and keeping me focused, to try to get fit and try to play more.” The 31-year-old joined from Blackburn in 2011 for £16m and showed his versatility by playing as a centre-back, a right-back and a midfielder in his early years at Old Trafford, when Sir Bobby Charlton compared him to the Busby Babe Duncan Edwards. Jones made 41 appearances in his first year at Old Trafford and helped United win the Premier League title in 2012-13. He has won 27 England caps, being part of the squads for two World Cups and one European Championships.

Everton manager Sean Dyche insists he puts no significance on being outside the bottom three in the relegation battle until the final day of the season. Rivals’ results meant even after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend the team did not drop into the relegation zone. A Saturday 3pm kick-off at Wolves means Dyche’s side have the chance to crank up the pressure on Leeds and Leicester, in 18th and 19th place, who play on Sunday and Monday respectively. Only a third away victory of the season would take the Toffees five points clear and ensure they kept their destiny in their own hands. It would also leave the Foxes needing to win their final two games while Leeds would require at least four points to survive. But Dyche is not interested in doing the maths even at this late stage. “I don’t stare at the league. I stare at the performances, I stare at the group, I stare at the prep, I stare at the strategy, I stare at all these things, the tactics, these are the things I’m obsessing with,” he said. “It’s not about the league table at this stage. I’ve said it for weeks, the one at the end of the season is the most important. “Of course we all debate it and look at it during a season, of course we do, but the one at the end of the season, that’s the most important, the one we’re looking to be above the line on. “I think we’ve just stayed very clear-minded, trying to take away the layers of noise around our group to make sure we’re focused on the game. “That’s all we look to do, others can do however they wish.” The Everton manager also tried to play down the significance of playing ahead of their rivals on the penultimate weekend of the season. “You can look at it either way, I’ve been on either side of it,” he said. “Last club, this club, whether you feel the game is on the right day or wrong day, that’s just the way it goes. The schedule is what it is, you have to deal with it. “You have to play regardless of what the challenge is. I’ve always looked at it that way so therefore I can’t change the goalposts from someone else’s point of view. “From my point of view, whenever the game is, it’s about taking it on.” Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has returned to training after a groin problem forced him off against City and is in contention for Saturday’s squad.

Lady Gaga’s latest TikTok has caused debate amongst fans over the singer’s appearance. Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, posted a TikTok on her makeup company Haus Labs’ page, showing off new lipsticks. But it’s not the lipsticks that have people talking. The singer and actress does look slightly different, but it’s hard to pinpoint what the change is. But fans have left comments with their own theories. Some think she’s gotten a body double to stand in for her, other joke that it’s Miley Cyrus pretending to be Gaga. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Others think the ‘Applause’ singer has simply lost weight, some suggest she’s used Ozempic, the diabetes drug that is also being used to aid weight loss. Fans also pointed out that she had just wrapped filming for the Joker sequel as Harley Quinn, and that her costar Joaquin Phoenix had to lose weight for the role back in 2019. @ladygaga These NEUTRALS are HOT LIKE THIS RECORD ?? @HausLabs (Grrrrrrr…I’m wearing maple matte ?) A few fans didn’t even realise it was Gaga herself, with comments such as ‘you look like Lady Gaga’ popping up. However, lots of supporters were quick to remind people about the harmful impacts of commenting on people’s appearance. One fan on Twitter referenced a video posted by Ariana Grande last month, in regards to the negative experience Grande had faced as a result of having her appearance and body commented on constantly As more celebrities speak out on the impact of having their body and appearances commented on, it appears fans are trying to be more conscious about how they interact with the people they love and support.
