    Not that the Bolton fighter seems to be missing the boxing world as he is now spending time with a number of iconic names from football instead.
    Khan has posted a number of photos he took while visiting Premier League title holders Manchester City.
    While using the classic fist pose, he was snapped with the likes of boss Pep Guardiola and midfielders Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez.
    He captioned the photos with: “Thank you @mancity for inviting me to your training ground. Had a lovely time meeting manager/players and watching them train.”

    However, it seemed to be the club’s scoring sensation Erling Haaland that the Bolton Wanderers fan was most delighted to meet.
    He made a separate Instagram post of a video clip that captured the moment he met the Norwegian hotshot.
    Haaland towered over Khan and seemed just as pleased to meet the ex-boxing star.
    It comes just weeks after Khan stunned fans when he “violated” Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford – then posted a bizarre caption from Wikipedia on Instagram sharing the moment.

    He enjoyed a catch-up with Fergie at the Theatre Of Dreams, in a clip also shared on Instagram.
    The pair were full of smiles as they laughed and appeared to discuss their physiques.
    Fergie endearingly placed a hand on Khan’s shoulder while they spoke.
    But it was Khan’s reaction that shocked fans and left them jokingly claiming he violated the ex-United boss as he proceeded to rub Fergie’s belly – causing it to jiggle.
    Khan was then mocked for his caption on the picture, as it was a direct excerpt from Wikipedia.
    The caption read: “Lovely to meet Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester Old Trafford Stadium. Best known for managing Manchester United from 1986 to 2013.
    “He is widely regarded as one of the greatest football managers of all time.”

    It was the perfect ending to a difficult week which began with United losing 6-3 in the Manchester Derby.
    Martinez and De Gea were at the centre of Man Utd’s defensive effort as they fended off a late siege on their goal from Everton.
    The defender was clearly in awe of De Gea’s command of his box – but expressed his admiration in a strange way.
    The Spanish keeper shared a pic on Instagram with his opposite number Jordan Pickford.

    “Tough stadium to play but the spirit of the group was shown.”
    In response, Martinez wrote: “Que bueno sos choborra”, which translates as “You’re so good b****”.
    The day had not gotten off to the best start for De Gea, who was beaten by a stunning long-range effort from Alex Iwobi.

    Erik ten Hag’s side then hung on despite the Toffees beginning a late aerial bombardment on De Gea’s goal.
    The victory comes days after a difficult away win in the Europa League as United look to get the show back on the road following the humiliation at the Etihad.
    They face in-form Newcastle, then Tottenham and then Chelsea in a difficult league run next. More

    The World Cup-winning former goalkeeper appeared to come out, tweeting: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay.”
    He told fans via his Twitter account but did not put the same message on his Instagram or Facebook pages.
    He did not further address the comment and then deleted it – not before it had over 250,000 likes.
    He then tweeted: “Hacked account. Luckily everything in order. Apologies to all my followers. And of course, more apologies to the LGBT community.”

    Reports in Spain suggested it may have been posted in response to rife magazine rumours about his post-divorce dating life.
    It comes a little over a year after he split from his wife.
    The retired goalie and presenter and model Sara Carbonero admitted their love had “taken separate paths” back in March 2021 but said they would remain close to continue the “marvellous job” of raising their two children.
    Following the tweet, Casillas was sent thousands of messages of support while former Spain team-mate Carles Puyol replied: “It’s time to tell our story, Iker.” along with a heart and kiss emoji.

    The post comes just days after he furiously shut down rumours linking him romantically with Shakira – who herself recently split from footballer partner Gerard Pique.
    Casillas and his former wife famously kissed on air during a post-match interview after Spain won the World Cup and have helped each other through serious health scares during their five-year marriage.
    Former Spanish international Casillas, who had to quit football after a heart attack, said in an emotional Instagram post at the time: “Both Sara and I feel enormously proud of the family we are and of having shared a love that has filled us with happiness during all our years together.
    “Today our love as a couple takes different but not distant paths since we’ll continue together in the marvellous task of continuing to be devoted parents as we have been up until now.
    “This is a well-considered decision which we have taken through mutual agreement.”
    The 41-year-old, father to Martin, nine, and Lucas, six, with Sara, added: “The respect, affection and friendship will remain for ever.
    “Our priority is, through affection and compromise, to share the wellbeing and education of our children and protect them so they grow in a stable and healthy environment.

    “With these words we ask you please to respect our privacy in this moment of change.
    “These will be the only public words we issue for the time being and in the future.
    “Many thanks for your understanding.”
    The identically-worded statements were posted alongside a photo of the couple in happier times, showing Sara with her arm round Iker’s neck as he touched her hand.
    Casillas came through the academy at Real Madrid and spent 25 years with the club, making 725 first-team appearances.
    He won five LaLiga crowns and three Champions League, captaining the side before leaving in 2015 to join Porto – where he spent the final four seasons of his career.
