MORE: Moyes says he wasn’t given enough time For all the talk of a new start following the departure of David Moyes, it remains a worryingly familiar tale. Possession not penetration and opponents no longer overawed by the occasion or simply making up the numbers. Same old United, Ander Herrera notwithstanding. The signing from Athletic Blibao was busy in the midfield without standing out in the manner he did on the American tour....

Man Utd urged to sign Griezmann and Bale Football clubs spent a total of $4.79 billion (£3.8bn) during 2016, an increase of 14.3 per cent on 2015, according to a new report by FIFA’s Transfer Matching System. That year-on-year increase is the biggest since 2013. A total of 82% of that global fee was spent by UEFA members, but clubs in England top the list. Last year saw Paul Pogba join Manchester United for £89 million, while players such as Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Leroy Sane, John Stones, Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and N’Golo Kante also commanded big fees....

We all do it -- even fantasy baseball experts. That's the theme as wee look at our picks for late-round value. It's not the first time some of our five-person staff goes back to the same guy late. Bender’s pick: Will Venable. OK, so the “going back to the well” thing is mostly about me. I take Venable late every year in our Experts League, but it won’t be as easy after he posted 22 HRs and 29 stolen bases in 2013....

Let’s be crystal clear—the Biden administration has no secret plan to take away your guns. While some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have carried the water for the gun lobby over many years, there has been a recent uptick in letters and statements to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) which falsely claim there is a “backdoor gun registry.” Although this is patently false, right-wing media continues to amplify this lie....

Trump, who openly rowed with star player Megan Rapinoe during the United States’ Women’s World Cup triumph, met Infantino at the White House. The US women’s national team are embroiled in a long-running battle with US Soccer in a battle to secure pay parity with their male counterparts, a far less successful team on the world stage. Trump has yet to make his position clear in that argument, but after talks with FIFA president Infantino he said: “Gianni and I just had a meeting on women’s soccer and what everybody’s going to do to make that even better and more equitable, etc, etc....

Hubble, which was launched in 1990, has offered astronomers an unparalleled view of the universe. However, it cannot see everything. Tao Wang, from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Tokyo, and colleagues believed there were galaxies that were invisible to Hubble—their light was too stretched and they were shrouded in dust, making them appear dark. In a statement, study co-author Kotaro Kohno explained: “The light from these galaxies is very faint with long wavelengths invisible to our eyes and undetectable by Hubble....

The Duke of York had been dogged by allegations he had sex with a 17-year-old trafficking victim for several years when Jeffrey Epstein died in August 2019. The apparent suicide in a jail cell in Manhattan brought renewed reporting on accusations by Virginia Giuffre, who says the pedophile financier and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to London when she was 17 to have sex with Andrew. The prince denies all the accusations....

Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite son quit public life after a car-crash interview in November 2019 in which he failed to express regret over his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. However, he returned to royal life briefly in the aftermath of Prince Philip’s death when he gave a TV interview and again at his father’s funeral on April 17. Now he will again be broadcast to the nation as part of a BBC documentary, Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, on September 22, at 9 p....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had already announced their departure from royal life when they attended the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey, in London, in March. The event was their final taste of life as senior working royals but it was not a happy occasion, historian Robert Lacey claims. The couple were expecting to process into the church behind Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Prince William in recognition of their status within the family, even though they had quit, Battle of Brothers claims....

Tom Bower, author of Revenge, told Good Morning Britain he believed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s television interview with Oprah Winfrey were “hugely damaging to the royal family.” Bower’s comments were part of a debate on the show about whether the couple should be stripped of their titles over the upcoming publication in January, 2023, of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare. “The couple in Montecito who are making their fortune solely by damaging and destroying the royal family to promote their own fortunes and their own prestige and their own brand, I don’t they think they should be allowed to call themselves Duke and Duchess anymore,” Bower said....

The British historian wrote Battle of Brothers, published by William Collins on Thursday, charting the parallel lives and dramatic falling out of the two princes. Now he argues Meghan Markle’s experience at the hands of palace aides remains an obstacle to the royals putting past feuds behind them. And the author believes the situation must be resolved by the end of a 12-month review of Harry and Meghan’s new working relationship, due in March....

The Duke of Sussex was liked by 81 percent of Britain and disliked by 11 percent, placing him among the most popular public figures in Britain at the time of his engagement to Meghan Markle, rivaled only by other royals like Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William. Not only that, but he maintained his popularity through 2019, a year in which the couple said the British press and social media trolls turned on Meghan....

Representative Ilhan Omar, one of the many in Minnesota’s congressional delegation in favor of this bill, believes that Prince was an inspiration that deserves recognition. “Prince is a Minnesota icon. He showed that it was OK to be a short, Black kid from Minneapolis and still change the world. He not only changed the arc of music history, he put Minneapolis on the map,” Omar said. The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest civilian honors in the nation and has been previously awarded to luminaries such as George Washington, Rosa Parks, the Wright Brothers, Dalai Lama and more....

The visits paid by the royals to Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas raised important questions about the monarchy’s association with historic slavery and racism, and also brought up discussions surrounding reparations and removing Queen Elizabeth II as independent Caribbean nations’ head of state. Perhaps lost among these broader discussions were some of the sweeter moments of the royal tour, with William and Kate interacting on an intimate and personal level with each other and with the people they met along the way....

In the clip, which was originally shared by Kensington Palace’s Twitter account in January 2020, William was seen greeting Alex Duguid as he presented him with his MBE at Buckingham Palace. Using British Sign Language (BSL), the Prince of Wales carefully shared his message with Duguid as he said, via his hands, “Congratulations, Alex.” “Thank you,” responded Duguid, who for the past three decades has helped broadcasters communicate with deaf audiences....

The Advocates Network of Jamaica staged a 350-strong protest in Kingston on Tuesday, March 22, calling on William and Kate Middleton to apologize for Britain’s colonial past. The Duke of Cambridge spoke out on the subject during a dinner at the governor-general’s residence the following day. In the March 23 address, he said: “I strongly agree with my father, the Prince of Wales, who said in Barbados last year that the appalling atrocity of slavery forever stains our history....
