United star Luke Shaw aims sly dig towards Jose Mourinho whilst heaping praise on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has aimed a subtle dig towards former United boss Jose Mourinho in a recent interview, Mourinho and Shaw fell out during the Portuguese’s reign as boss.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Shaw praised the impact that Solskjaer has had on the team since being appointed caretaker boss following Mourinho’s sacking.

In a sly dig towards Mourinho, Shaw hailed Solskjaer for brining back “attacking, quick play” to Old Trafford.

Shaw has had to deal with more than his fair share of injuries during his time at Old Trafford but given the hype placed on him when he joined from Southampton it was surprising to see Mourinho leave him out of the United team for so long after his recovery from injury.

Adorable video of Olympia Ohanian clapping for every point mum Serena Williams and aunt Venus Williams got at tennis match

Alexis Olympia Ohanian was filmed watching her world class tennis player mum, Serena Williams, and her aunt, Venus Williams, play against each other at a tennis game.

The 1-year-old sat on the lap of her father Alexia Ohanian Sr. as they watched the exhibition match in Abu Dhabi. The little girl was engrossed in the game and she was seen darting her head back and forth, following the game.

She also appeared to have no favourites as she applauded for both women.

Her dad, Alexis Ohanian, uploaded the video with the caption:

@olympiaohanian is such a good sport she clapped for every point -- whether it was mama @serenawilliams or auntie @venuswilliams

Venus ended up winning in the one-off clash at the World Tennis Championship.

Commenting on the win she said:

This is our first match back, so what we wanted was to give it our all. Serena said I was playing well.

CHRIS BROWN SPANKS MONKEY ALLEGATIONS ... She's Not My Pet!

Chris Brown claims he ain't no Michael Jackson -- meaning, he doesn't own a monkey (or a chimp!) ... and claims allegations he illegally harbored an adorable simian are pure apesh*t.

We broke the story ... the L.A. City Attorney is charging CB with 2 counts of having a restricted species without a permit claiming he kept a capuchin monkey named Fiji at his L.A. home back in 2017. 

The allegations are serious, Brown could face up to 6 months in jail if convicted. 

The supposed smoking gun is a video of Brown's daughter Royalty playing with Fiji in Dec. 2017 -- but sources close to Breezy tell us prosecutors got it all wrong. 

£192million trio to Manchester United, stunning Chelsea swap deal – ten big transfers that could take place next week as we edge closer to January

It’s nearly time for the January transfer window, so we’ve put together a list of ten big deals being talked up as we’re now less than a week away from the madness beginning.

While it may take some time for things to get into full flow, it seems the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have some targets lined up to come in in the middle of the season.

It’s often the case that there aren’t quite as many signings as talked up in the press – especially in January – though the rule change regarding being cup tied in the Champions League could make all the difference in terms of big moves between Europe’s elite.

Here’s ten that seem to be in the works to some degree, and that could in theory be just days away now from going through…

Douglas Costa to Manchester United

Though this deal would cost £70million, it’s been claimed by Rai Sport, with translation from the Metro, that United have made an opening offer of £54m for Juventus winger Douglas Costa.

Douglas Costa has been strongly linked with Manchester United

The Brazil international is precisely the kind of flair player the Red Devils need in attack, with Alexis Sanchez struggling since joining from Arsenal last January.

It remains to be seen if United will in fact up their offer, but it seems they are majorly interested in Costa, who could undoubtedly transform their season if he does join.

Kalidou Koulibaly to Manchester United

Long linked with United and other clubs, the latest from Don Balon is that the Red Devils remain among Kalidou Koulibaly’s suitors, though he could also be tempted by a move to Spain with Real Madrid.

The Senegal international is said to be eager to escape Italy after being racially abused by Inter Milan fans this week, so that could give United a potential boost in their pursuit.

Don Balon add that Koulibaly would likely cost around £72million, and it’s clear he could be a bit of a bargain for MUFC if they get him for that price, given that the 27-year-old would be a big upgrade on the club’s current crop of centre-backs.
