The World Cup-winning midfielder is among those to have seen their future at Old Trafford called into question in the wake of Alexis Sanchez arriving from Arsenal. Mata, though, has found himself in similar situations before – most notably when Jose Mourinho, who offloaded him at Chelsea, took the managerial reins at United. With there no exit thoughts in his head at present, the 29-year-old insists he is happy to have another top talent alongside him as proven recruits can only be of benefit to the collective cause....

The standoff between students and administrators is less a fight over money than a battle over the university’s–and the nation’s–ideological soul. UNAM, which has long embodied the egalitarian principles of the Mexican revolution, is the latest battleground in the government’s attempt to dismantle the welfare state. Charging tuition, government officials say, will help UNAM move into the modern world–and compete with private institutions that have undermined its dominance. To most students, however, social justice must come first....

United’s owners, the Glazers along with managing director Richard Arnold, are set to make a comprehensive search to find the perfect candidate for the job. The Red Devils parted ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in November following a string of poor results. The club went on to hire German tactician Ralf Rangnick on an interim basis until the end of the 2021-22 season. Hiring a new manager before the 2022-23 season will be the number one priority for the United hierarchy going into the season....

While speaking to the media yesterday, Aussie bowling legend Glenn McGrath said that India does not seem to have a plan for its bowlers. He said, “In India you don’t get much bounce and carry. But when you see wickets that have them it’s easy to get carried away. In such conditions, a bowler needs to do less rather than trying too many different things. It does help when you have a Mitchell Johnson or a Dale Steyn....

Martinez, confronted by a furious supporter during Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Southampton, is under increasing pressure from fans after erratic performances in the league this season left the club 11th in the table. “I don’t think you can switch on and off,” Martinez told reporters when asked whether he would prioritise the United game with his team selection for the match away to Liverpool. “You have to perform well before you go to a semi-final....

City benefited from a bizarre decision to award a spot-kick after Raheem Sterling had kicked the turf and fallen to the ground in the box, allowing Gabriel Jesus to score the home side’s second and the first goal of his hat-trick. But the referee Viktor Kassai’s mistake mattered little in the end as City continued to dominate and scored six for the second home match in succession, following Sunday’s 6-1 demolition of Southampton....

The most recent update largely includes the function to send friend requests on the Nintendo Switch using player friend codes on the mobile app, although the update comes with certain caveats that continue to restrict the convenience that is allowed on other consoles. It wasn’t until recently that the Nintendo Switch gained Bluetooth support and the ability to see what friends are online. Fortunately, some features of the Nintendo Switch are now easier thanks to the online mobile app update....

Nintendo has yet to join Sony or Microsoft in creating a “Pro” version of one of its consoles, and the company’s hesitation is understandable. One of the many concerns around upgraded consoles is if the enhanced hardware will justify the higher price point. By the same note, however, undervaluing a console could be just as damaging. There will likely be fans that would gladly jump at the opportunity to have a Switch Pro comparable in price to the current Switch, but it could be a detriment to Nintendo in the long run....

Notably, the Switch already has a successful game that promotes exercise. A few years ago, Nintendo released Ring Fit Adventure, an RPG that motivated the player to use various exercise techniques in combat and required the player to jog in place to move their character. Ring Fit Adventure earned praise for its decent implementation of exercise, making it overall a major step forward for Nintendo’s efforts in physical activity. Because Ring Fit Adventure was such a success, it seems likely that it’ll be represented in Nintendo Switch Sports somehow....

LONDON (Reuters) - Kei Nishikori has his eye on the main prize at Wimbledon this year and, if his body holds up, the Japanese ninth seed should get past Roberto Bautista Agut on Friday and into the second week of the grasscourt grand slam. A spot in the fourth round would match his previous best showing at the All England Club but Nishikori believes this year he can “win the whole thing” to become Asia’s first male grand slam singles champion....

Though the current internal combustion engine version of the model is leaving showrooms, the name could make a return on the automaker’s new electric vehicle, slated for arrival in the coming years. The eighth-generation Maxima arrived to much fanfare in 2016. Its aesthetics earned instant praise and its luxe interior continued to improve as the model aged thanks to numerous upgrades along the way. During the eighth generation’s near-decade run on the market, large car sales have taken a plunge, due in large part to the growing popularity of sport utility vehicles (SUVs)....

Line: Stanford -1.5, Total: 134.5 (current spreads and totals) Miami (25-12 SU, 17-17-1 ATS) will be without its second and third leading scorers tonight. Point guard Angel Rodriguez (11.9 ppg) has missed the past three games, and 7-foot center Tonye Jekiri (8.6 ppg) left the game against Temple after just six minutes with a concussion. The Hurricanes have covered three games in a row. They’ve won 10 of their last 13 games outright, and the losses have come against three ACC opponents that advanced to the Sweet 16 or beyond – Notre Dame, North Carolina and Louisville....

The 22-year-old has defeated the Big Three in succession at the ATP Finals, with Rafael Nadal being his latest victim in the opening round of the ATP World Tour Finals. To book a slot in the semi-finals, Zverev now has to overcome the challenge of rising Russian player Daniil Medvedev. There are many things to consider when Zverev takes the court on Friday night. If he manages to win against Medvedev, he will go into the semifinals irrespective of Nadal’s result against Stefanos Tsitsipas....

In case you didn’t know… Hiromu Takahashi was defending his title against Dragon Lee at the G1 Special show in San Francisco where a botched suplex from Dragon Lee launched Hiromu onto the top of his head and bent his neck. Takahashi finished the match and walked out of the area on his own but allegedly collapsed backstage leading to NJPW releasing a statement to confirm that he had suffered a neck injury but was able to sit up and communicate....

This marks the first time since 1989 that an NJPW act or character has won the award, and the first group or stable to have won it since 2013. In case you didn’t know… The Best Gimmick award goes to that act or character that stands out the most in a positive way and gets the biggest reaction in a given year. These winners are important because they indicate those characters that the audience loves the most, and the bookers behind those gimmicks then know which ones are working and which ones are not....

In case you didn’t know… After turning his back on former leader Kenny Omega earlier in the year, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes had evidently confirmed that he wants to take claim of the leadership of the Bullet Club, and wants to sit at the top of the realm within the legendary Japanese faction. Rhodes, who already proclaims himself as the “leader” of the Bullet Club, has stated in the past couple of months that he wants the rest of the Bullet Club (The likes of The Young Bucks, Marty Scurll, and even Tama Tonga) to follow his path, as he looks forward to leading the Biz Cliz from the front....

The feud traces its origins back to last month, where Vader – taking to social networking site Twitter – heavily criticized Ospreay’s match against Ricochet, calling it “blatent acrobatics” Ospreay, never one to take things sitting down, shot back at Vader by posting a video of him doing a Vader bomb on his Twitter account. Ospreay hadn’t tagged Vader in the video and has refrained from addressing him directly, preferring to address his fans while posting tweets....

"I'd do anything for this team," he said. NLCS schedule | NLCS gallery Ramirez was down to bat third and play shortstop in Monday night's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, and Andre Ethier was slated to hit fifth and play center field.
