    I’m an undefeated MMA star but my brothers are making their own way as Man Utd hopefuls

    IBRAGHIM IBRAGIMOV is the undefeated MMA prospect looking to make his way to the UFC – but he could end up being overshadowed by his football-playing brothersThe Russian-born Brit is a perfect 6-0 in his mixed martial arts career and is one of the most highly-touted teen fighters in the UK.

    Ibraghimov, 19, regularly rubs shoulders with some of the biggest British names in the sport – including former UFC title challenger Darren Till and PFL star Brendan Loughnane.
    The teen sensation is well and truly on track to make it to the UFC – but his brothers could end up becoming bigger stars than him.
    Ibragimov’s younger brothers – Amir and Gazik – are working their way through the ranks of Manchester United’s youth teams.
    Amir, 15, is considered to be one of the best prospects in United’s academy and was recently invited to train with the first team.

    The midfielder has seemingly already been earmarked for a future leadership role having captained United-14s and Under-15s.
    His displays for the club’s younger teams have seen him rewarded with five appearances for the Under-18s.
    Despite also being held in high regard by the club’s coaches, Gazik, 14, has yet to be called up to train with the senior Red Devils.
    Amir and Gazik are often cheered on by their fighting brother Ibraghim, who proudly shares their highlights and achievements on his Instagram.

    Amir and Gazik aren’t the only members of the Ibraghimov family trying to make it at the Premier League giants.
    The duo’s youngest brother Muhammad is also on the club’s books following a move from Manchester City’s academy last November.
    The starlet was proud as punch with his move to United, which he lauded with his near 7,000 Instagram followers.
    Along with a snap of himself holding up a club shirt, he wrote: “Here to create history.”
    Given United’s recent willingness to promote academy stars to the first team and give them starts – Kobbie Mainoo being a testament to the fact – it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that either Amir or Gazik will be handed full debuts in the coming years.
    And who knows, they could by then have a UFC star of a brother cheering them on at Old Trafford.

    Forgotten Man Utd star Amad Diallo hints at next club with cheeky Instagram post after Middlesbrough links

    MANCHESTER UNITED’S Amad Diallo has responded to links over a loan move to Middlesbrough by declaring his love for rivals Sunderland.Diallo enjoyed a stellar loan at Sunderland last season, bagging 14 goals as the Black Cats reached the Championship play-offs.

    The Ivory Coast winger has managed just one Premier League appearance off the bench back at Manchester United this term due to injury.
    But a host of Championship clubs are still desperate to sign him on loan this month.
    Michael Carrick’s Boro are believed to be in pole position while Sunderland have been monitoring Diallo’s position over a potential return.
    Any possibility of a move away from Old Trafford was scuppered by an injury in pre-season that kept him out of action until the end of last month.
    READ MORE ON MAN UTD
    And as Boro and Sunderland compete for his signature, the youngster responded to the recent speculation online.
    The 21-year-old shared a picture on his Instagram story of his time at Sunderland, accompanied by a kissing emoji.
    Diallo is said to have impressed since returning to Man Utd training and could be kept around as a result.
    The Red Devils are low on options when it comes to their front line and the former Atalanta man could provide cover for the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho.

    The trio have scored just seven goals between them in the league this season and Diallo could offer fresh look at things for Erik ten Hag.
    But the Dutch boss left him out of the squad to face Tottenham on Sunday despite giving him a 36 minute cameo against Nottingham Forest in the previous gameweek. More

    Jose Mourinho breaks silence on Roma sacking in ten-word statement after ex-Man Utd & Chelsea boss leaves club in tears

    JOSE MOURINHO has broken his silence after being sacked as Roma manager.It comes after he was spotted leaving the Roma training ground fighting back tears on Tuesday.

    In a statement, Mourinho took to Instagram to thank Roma fans for his time in the eternal city.
    The manager posted a video montage of his best moments while in charge of the club and wrote: “Sweat, blood, tears, joy, sadness, love, brothers, history, heart, eternity.”
    Roma fans flooded the comment section of Mourinho’s post thanking him for his time in charge of the club.
    One fan wrote: “Mister [coach] not even when my ex left me I was so hurt 💔.”

    Another said: “Thank you for what you did Mister, you woke up a city and we won’t forget. We hope to see each other again one day ❤️”
    A third commented: “I’m not crying, I got conference league in my eye 😢”
    The outpouring of grief from Roma fans represents the complicated relationship Mourinho had with Romanisti.
    Despite poor results in the league, which saw him finish sixth twice in his two full seasons in charge and leaving with the club in ninth, Mourinho still enjoys a good relationship with Roma fans.

    The “Special One” won the inaugural Europa Conference League during his first season in charge and finished runner up in the Europa League in his second.
    He has also endeared himself to Roma fans by playing many academy graduates during his time in Roma, 13 in total.
    But the club’s owners have backed Mourinho to the tune of £688million and haven’t necessarily seen a return on that investment in the league – despite his success in European competition.
    Eye-achingly dull football combined with poor results of late were leading to a crossroads given Mourinho’s contract was up at the end of the season.
    And the club’s owners will have bought themselves some goodwill from the fans by appointing Roma legend Daniele De Rossi as Mourinho’s replacement.
    He is perhaps the only man that could have settled the anger of Roma fans that have taken Mourinho to their hearts. More
