Getty Images It feels like Manchester United are in a downward spiral that has no end in sight. They've been linked to just about every player on the market as Erik ten Hag tries to turn things around as his star player Cristiano Ronaldo pushes for an exit. The club has lost back-to-back games by a combined 6-1 score with a home date against Liverpool up next. There's been so much drama surrounding the club that fans are blaming the Glazer family for the early-season struggles and Elon Musk, who's considered the richest person on the planet, jokingly tweeted Tuesday night about his desire to purchase the club . Musk may not coming to the rescue at Old Trafford, but the Glazer family is actually considering selling a minority stake of the club, according to Bloomberg on Wednesday, and there's a familiar face interested, according to The Times . Ineos billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who struck out at the chance of acquiring Chelsea from Russian oligarch Roman … [Read more...] about Manchester United: Glazers could reportedly sell minority stake; Jim Ratcliffe — not Elon Musk — wants in

The New York Knicks and Utah Jazz are talking Donovan Mitchell trade again, and while the sides are not close there is a sense that a deal will get done before the season starts (likely before training camp opens). As for Kevin Durant trade talks… crickets. The Celtics are the “unofficial front-runner” in the Durant trade talks with an offer based around Jaylen Brown , reports Sam Amick of The Athletic . Except, the Celtics and Nets aren’t talking, reports The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach . “League sources continue to insist that the Celtics are not close to a deal that would bring Kevin Durant to Boston, and that there have not even been any real discussions of substance.” Durant tried to force the Nets’ hand, meeting with owner Joe Tsai, shooting down any hope of a reconciliation, and giving an “It’s me or coach Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks” ultimatum . Durant knew throwing that down on the table in August would lead to a rejection, which Tsai did publicly … [Read more...] about Report: No ‘discussions of substance’ between Celtics, Nets on Durant trade

HAMPTON, Georgia – Imitator of “The Intimidator?” No, and that was always the blessing, curse and confounding part of following in the footsteps of a true icon. Kevin Harvick was unfairly thrust by some into the role of unwitting savior after winning in only his third start in NASCAR’s premier series. When he held three fingers out the window for the second time on an Atlanta Motor Speedway victory lap Sunday, Harvick was saluting the memory of Dale Earnhardt — but he also was celebrating the peace of being a middle-aged champion who took a long, arduous path to a surprising state of grace and zen nearly 17 years after the overwhelming circumstances of his first Cup victory. No one could ever be “The Man” in NASCAR that Earnhardt was, but Atlanta reminded us in many ways how Harvick has become a man in full. “I’ve been waiting a long time, because 2001 was very confusing,” Harvick, 42, said of winning in the ride he inherited three races after the seven-time champion died on … [Read more...] about Ryan: Kevin Harvick has put his own spin on the Dale Earnhardt legacy – NASCAR Talk | NBC Sports

Getty Images Just two days after firing manager Chris Woodward , the Rangers have parted ways with president of baseball operations Jon Daniels, the club announced Wednesday. General manager Chris Young -- a former MLB pitcher -- will assume oversight of front office operations, the club added. Daniels, 44, was named Rangers general manager on Oct. 4, 2005 at just 28 years old, making him the youngest GM in baseball history. He first joined the Rockies in 2001 as an intern and then applied for a job with the Rangers shortly thereafter. He was promoted to director of baseball operations by the end of the 2003 season. Less than a year later, he was promoted again, this time to assistant general manager. Once then-GM John Hart was fired, Daniels' ascent to the top was complete. His success continued for a while. During Daniels' tenure, the Rangers won their first two AL pennants and came within one out of their first World Series title. They won four AL West titles … [Read more...] about Rangers fire front office executive Jon Daniels after 17 seasons as upheaval continues in Texas

British businessman Jim Ratcliffe is "definitely a potential buyer" of Manchester United if the English football giants go on sale, a spokesman for the Ineos petrochemicals billionaire said Wednesday. Ineos was responding to reports United's current owners, the US-based Glazer family, are considering selling a minority stake, with the team currently bottom of the Premier League following a woeful start to the season under new manager Erik ten Hag. The Ineos spokesman told The Times that Ratcliffe, reportedly Britain's richest man, would be prepared to buy such a stake as a prelude to assuming full control at Old Trafford. "If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership," the spokesman added. The Glazers, who bought United in 2005 in a leveraged buyout that saddled the club with huge debts, have long been accused of taking more out financially than they have invested in terms of transfer funds or in redeveloping the … [Read more...] about Britain’s Richest Man Declares Interest In Buying Manchester United | Football News

Getty Images Manchester United are looking to acquire Chelsea's American winger Christian Pulisic , according to CBS Sports transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. Newcastle, Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also inquired, but a loan move to Old Trafford does not appear to be likely at this time. The Blues, and new club owner Todd Boehly specifically, would not be willing to loan Pulisic to United , a traditional rival, according to Romano. Of course, you never know when it comes to a full transfer, and with United's struggles and interest in seemingly every player, anything can happen. Despite winning the Champions League and other trophies with Chelsea, the United States men's national team star has largely occupied back-up status during his time at Stamford Bridge. After joining from Borussia Dortmund for $70 million back in 2019, the now 23-year-old attacker is looking to rebound on the club level after a forgettable 2021-22 season. He missed all but one of the … [Read more...] about Christian Pulisic-Manchester United transfer: Chelsea unwilling to loan USMNT star to competitor
