    The winger only managed a mere 12 goals and six assists in 82 games with the Red Devils until his public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag in September saw him getting exiled from the first team.
    Ten Hag left him out of his squad for the crunch Premier League clash against Arsenal due to his “performances in training”.

    Drive to Survive and F1 legend Guenther Steiner set to give bombshell interview after shock Haas sacking

    SACKED Formula One chief Guenther Steiner will speak in a bombshell interview just days after his dismissal from Haas.Steiner, who became an F1 fan favourite thanks to his starring role in popular Netflix show Drive To Survive, was sacked from his role of Haas team principal ahead of the new season.

    Steiner is said to have wanted to go in a different direction to owner Gene HaasCredit: Splash
    The move was put down to differences in direction between Steiner and team owner Gene Haas.
    It has been claimed the American had grown frustrated by the lack of progress since the team arrived in F1 in 2016, culminating with them finishing bottom of the constructors championship last season.
    Meanwhile, Steiner is said to have wanted more investment in the team, feeling there had been a lack of money pumped in compared to rivals.
    These differences of opinion ultimately led to Steiner departing from Haas.

    His replacement has already been announced in the form of Ayao Komatsu, who was promoted from his previous role as Director of Engineering.
    But Steiner is now set to open up on his departure in an interview with Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft.
    Croft confirmed this on social media that he would be speaking to the charismatic Italian-American on Saturday morning.
    He said: “Busy few days ahead @Autosport_Showwhere I’m co hosting the Live Action Arena with @missemmawalsh& on Sat morning interviewing Guenther Steiner on the main stage.

    “Should be an interesting chat as it always is. Good luck for the future to Haas, Ayao Komatsu & of course Guenther.”
    Reports from Sky F1 have also suggested that Steiner was not allowed to say goodbye to the team, leaving many people “disappointed.”
    In a statement Haas said: “I’d like to start by extending my thanks to Guenther Steiner for all his hard work over the past decade and I wish him well for the future.
    “Moving forward as an organisation it was clear we need to improve our on-track performances.
    “In appointing Ayao Komatsu as team principal we fundamentally have engineering at the heart of our management.
    “We have had some successes, but we need to be consistent in delivering results that help us reach our wider goals as an organisation.
    “We need to be efficient with the resources we have but improving our design and engineering capability is key to our success as a team.
    “I’m looking forward to working with Ayao and fundamentally ensuring that we maximise our potential — this truly reflects my desire to compete properly in F1.”

    Joey Barton comments: What has he said on Twitter?

    JOEY Barton is very active on social media, regularly making the headlines since early December 2023 for voicing his opinions about women commentating on men’s football.But what exactly has Barton said, and who has reacted to his incendiary comments?
    Joey Barton has made repeated claims that women should not commentate on men’s footballCredit: PA:Empics Sport
    What has Joey Barton said?
    Former Manchester City and Newcastle star Joey Barton has repeatedly taken to his keyboard to complain about female players talking about men’s football.
    Barton has repeatedly responded to men taking issue with his comments by calling them “eunuchs”.
    He’s also posted images of children’s dolls such as Action Man without any genitalia to emphasise his point.
    Here’s what Barton’s been saying…

    On December 6, 2023 Barton started the controversy by tweeting: “Women shouldn’t be talking with any kind of authority in the men’s game. Come on. Let’s be serious.
    “It’s a completely different game. If you don’t accept that. We will always see things differently.
    “The women’s game is thriving. Fantastic to see.
    “I cannot take a thing they say serious in the men’s arena.”
    Most read in Football
    His tirade on X, formerly Twitter, included saying that women commentating on men’s football was the same as him “talking about knitting or netball”.
    Barton, 41, defended his comments on Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV — slamming former England and Arsenal footballer Alex Scott.
    During her footy career she won eight league titles, three WSL Cups, seven FA Cups, the Champions League once, and two Community Shields.
    When quizzed about her commentating he said, “she hasn’t played in it”. 
    “One is 200 years old and one is about 40 years old… it’s the same rules but football is about a lot more than rules… The games are at two different speeds,” he said in his rant.
    Barton said it was the same as him commentating on Formula One just because he can drive a car.
    He then took to X once again to call out Bianca Westwood and Laura Woods for a debate on his new Common Sense podcast, after the pair both shared their views on his remarks.
    The former midfielder wrote: “Both of you follow me. And not the other way around. So, Why the silence?
    “Do you both have something to hide?
    “You can come and debate. Just make sure you’re ready.
    “I’ll take your silence as a sign you know it’s not for you. Screaming from the rooftops yesterday. Tumbleweeds blowing across the vast expanse today. Says it all…”
    Neither Woods nor Westwood responded to Barton’s taunt — so he increased his efforts by questioning why they chose to remain silent.
    He added: “Laura Woods and Bianca Westwood won’t come on the show. They’re not brave enough. Lots to say yesterday?
    “You should have kept your heads down. Something to hide girls?
    “Cat got your tongue today!”
    On December 7, 2023 Barton tweeted: “The Women’s game is absolutely thriving. Great to see. It’s a fantastic sport in its own right.
    “Really entertaining. Good to watch. Technically and tactically not that much difference.
    “Physically. Complete different planet. Until you have experienced that. You cannot say what you would have done in said position at said time. No.
    “It’s got a great England team (that wins stuff!) it’s got its own Premier League. It’s got its own Champions League.
    “Please for the love of God, go and commentate on that!
    “You can say what you want. You will be qualified to. You have actual experience of what is taking place.
    “The eunuch’s might not agree. But somebody had to say something. Hate it having to be me…”
    On December 8, 2023 he wrote:” If any top male players, ex-players think I’m wrong. That Women are overkill and under qualified in the Men’s punditry and commentary space.
    “The floor is open to you all as well.
    “As I said, anywhere, anytime and any place.
    “Send me Location. 
    “2 hours. No edit. 
    “Gloves off. Conkers out.”
    On December 16, 2023 Barton continued his social media tirade by slamming Football Focus.
    Barton said: “36 minutes. Football Focus turned off. Sorry, it’s just terrible.
    “Drivel and nonsense served with a side of boring. No wonder it’s getting canned.
    “Well done to all involved. Another flagship destroyed by The Tokens.”
    He next took aim at SPOTY winner Mary Earps.
    On December 20, 2023 Barton tweeted: “So the best sports person this year is… A Women Goalie. Lost in a couple of finals this year. Not won a sausage.
    “So popular that Nike didn’t even sell a replica jersey before tournament.
    “You telling me all those who jumped on that bandwagon, haven’t voted in the BBC nonsense?
    “Good luck to Mary. Hope she makes a few quid.”
    Joey then added: “To win before Ronnie O’Sullivan and Frankie Dettori…? Well, that’s just madness to me.
    “Both almost genius like in their respective fields. They’ve lost to a big sack of spuds that plays in goal for a girls team.”
    On December 26, 2023 he tweeted: “Is this women pundit (Finnis-Brown) an international goalie.
    “She’s at least a foot shorter than Tortoise head and McManaman…
    “I’d Chip her on her line.
    “Why is she talking about the men’s game???
    “Please stop this nonsense”
    On December 31, 2023, Barton reposted a tweet from Amazon Prime managing director for sport Alex Green, along with the comment: “Well done Alex.
    “Can you now remove the terribly under qualified, tone deaf, tokenistic women currently all over your broadcasts.
    “They’re ruining the experience for most of us.”
    On Jan 1, 2024 Barton posted: “How can we not call this out for what it is?
    “Women who are under qualified, under prepared and over opinionated.
    “It’s ruining the experience for millions of Football addicts, like myself.”
    On January 5, 2024 Barton compared two female commentators to serial killers.
    He called  pundits Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward “the Fred and Rose West of football”.
    Speaking about Aluko, Barton tweeted: “How is she even talking about Men’s football. She can’t even kick a ball properly.
    “Your coverage of the game EFC last night, took it to a new low.
    “Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, the Fred and Rose West of football commentary.”
    And on January 7, 2024 Barton alleged women use “pillow talk” and their “sexuality to get an advantage”.
    He posted: “We all know whose marriages you have violated. What info you got from the pillow talk to get ahead…
    “I also, don’t blame you using your sexuality to get an advantage. It’s a big tool and everyone should use all there tools wisely in the game of life.”
    He added: “Don’t take me for a fool. Lawyer up. Sue me. Get me cancelled. Pressure my employer’s, my sponsors.
    “I’ve got plenty to fight you back with. I’ve deeper pockets than most.”
    Who has reacted to Joey Barton’s comments?
    TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods slammed Barton’s comments in a Twitter post.
    She said: “Usually avoid these conversations as I don’t like adding more oxygen.
    “But throwing young vloggers to the wolves is wrong.
    “I started my career vlogging and I’ve always got on with Joey. He also sent me a lovely good luck message for TNT in June.
    “Does that make him a eunuch too?
    “Joey’s entitled to his opinion. If he feels that strongly about women in the men’s game he could ask for a private conversation with the broadcasters & state his case.
    “These tweets only encourage a pile on for the women getting on with their jobs. Or was that the intention?”
    Barton’s outburst triggered ex-Sky Sports veteran Bianca Westwood to ask him: “Who is qualified to speak on football then?”
    Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored show on TalkTV on December 6, 2023 Bianca added: “I’ve been watching football for 40 years, my first game at West Ham was before Joey was even born.
    “I’ve been watching hours and hours of football. I worked behind the scenes at Sky for 10 years before I was even given a shot on camera, watching my male colleagues who maybe weren’t as good as I was, getting chances I was never given.
    “I don’t really understand what we need to know, how long we need to work behind the scenes before we are allowed on camera. To be a pundit, the laws are the same.”
    She then drew on Chelsea women manager and ITV pundit Emma Hayes and Lioness boss Sarina Wiegman, asking Barton: “Are you saying they can’t offer an insight?”
    In an Instagram story posted on December 7, 2023 Alex Scott and an unknown colleague can be heard laughing about Barton’s comments.
    In the clip, Scott asks: “Who are you interviewing?”
    The colleague replies: “I’m interviewing you actually.”
    Scott says: “Oh are you? What are we talking about, Joey Barton?”
    The quick-witted joke made Scott’s colleague burst out laughing.
    On December 8, 2023 Scott then spoke out on X while sharing an article in which she opens up about her charity work.
    She wrote: “Only thing I want to give oxygen to today on this platform & raise my voice to right now is this article below and how I’m so honoured to have spent the day yesterday with Refuge Charity who continue to do such incredible vital work for women & children.”
    On December 16, 2023 presenter Dan Walker defended Scott, posting: “Hi Joey. Hope you’re ok. One of my Christmas wishes is that people with a big platform on here wouldn’t use it to drag others down.
    “Alex WAS a great pro and IS a top television presenter — and a lovely person.
    “Women who love football already have too many hurdles to climb over and too many doors slammed in their face. You have a big voice… use it to encourage.”
    On January 5, 2024 ITV Sport hit back at Barton comparing its pundits to serial killers, with a spokesperson saying: “For Joey Barton, an ex-professional player with a significant social media presence, to target two of our pundits, Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, with such vindictive remarks based on gender and to involve the names of serial killers in doing so is clearly contemptible and shameful on his part.
    “Football is for everyone.”
    Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville supported ITV’s statement, posting: “Well done ITV. It’s gone too far this and mentioning serial killers is quite simply incredible.

    “I come from a family that has fought these issues for years and I’ve witnessed it first hand.

    SADIO Mane has finally broken his silence after tying the knot with his 19-year-old wife Aisha Tamba.The ex-Liverpool star, 31, married the teen bride in a secret ceremony just days before leading Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.

    A happy Sadio spoke to local media following the Sunday wedding, admitting he was overjoyed after receiving so many congratulations.
    “Honestly, I am happy [with] the fact the president has congratulated me just as much as, well, I would say not just my team-mates,” he said late on Tuesday. 
    “I think that all the people have congratulated me and wished me [luck] so I am happy and I hope that it’ll be okay.”
    Mane also made light of jokes surrounding his marriage to his 19-year-old bride as Senegal’s president Macky Sall received the national squad ahead of AFCON.

    “First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate our national Nianthi, Sadio Mane, who has just got married,” Sall said.
    “I called him up so that we could applaud him and wish him a happy marriage.
    “May God bless your home and your descendants. From now on you have another job apart from scoring goals.”
    The ex-Bayern Munich was seen laughing and covering his face with his hands in response to the joke alongside his teammates.
    Most read in Football
    Mane reportedly spotted his future wife when she was 16 but didn’t approach her formally at the time.
    The legal age of consent in Senegal is 16 years of age.
    Instead, he confided in his uncle, a friend of her father, which eventually led to their union,  Sports Brief reported.
    Other reports say that his new bride was 18 years old, but there are claims on social media that she is 26.
    Pulse Sports also reported that Mane had taken care of her bills when she was in school.
    The couple’s relationship is supposed to have been kept private until their wedding earlier this week, but friends, relatives, and former teammates are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
    On Tuesday night, Mane and Senegal landed in Ivory Coast for AFCON to wrap up their preparations for the tournament.
    As Mane alluded to, the Lions of Teranga have been drawn into a group that includes two of their closest neighbours.
    They will begin their championship defence against Gambia, a country almost totally surrounded by Senegal, on Monday in the political capital of Yamoussoukro.
    Senegal will then face traditional powerhouses Cameroon on January 19, followed by another local derby against southern rivals Guinea on January 23, both at Yamoussoukro.
    “We are also aware of all that awaits us,” the 31-year-old said.
    “We know that it will not be easy but what is certain is that we will get there, we will do everything we can and everything that is on our side to do you proud and especially the dream of everybody, that’s to say, to retain the title and it’s what we are going to try to do.”
    He continued: “‘Above all else, I think that the first match will be very decisive.
    ” After, as you said, it’s big teams, Gambia and Guinea are derbies, also Cameroon who need no introduction, but we are also Senegal.
    “We are going to try to do the maximum.”
    The Al-Nassr star’s comments come after videos showed his new missus beaming with joy moments before tying the knot.
    Mane’s “long-term girlfriend” was filmed grinning with happiness as she left a car, surrounded by singing friends and relatives.
    Holding hands with who appears to be a family member, Aisha is also seen greeting multiple guests as the crowds guide her to the wedding venue.
    Family, friends and fellow footballers are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
    Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
    According to Business Day, the couple married in a mosque in Keur Massar on Sunday – located in Dakar, Senegal’s capital.
    The pair are from the same area of Senegal.
    Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
    A video was also shared of the pair sat together holding hands as they posed for pictures.
    In one snap, the pair can be seen photographed in front of a decorative sign that reads ”Mrs Mane”.
    Before their nuptials, the footballer had kept the details of his relationship private.
    But back in 2022, Mane did discuss the kind of person he was looking for as a partner.
    In an Interview with Tribune, the former Liverpool forward said: “I’ve seen a lot of girls asking me why I am not married, but sorry you might be wasting your time. The woman I marry will not be on social networks.
    “I want to marry a woman who respects God and prays well. Everyone has their own way of making their choice of love.”
