Onana's nightmare has Man United on Champions League brink

Image
  Onana's nightmare has Man United on Champions League brink Manchester United's Champions League hopes were dealt a major blow as goalkeeper Andre Onana's two howlers gifted Galatasaray a 3-3 draw on Wednesday night. In a match where United had led twice, Onana's first mistake came in the 54th minute when he was rooted to the spot as a free-kick from Hakim Ziyech slipped past him. With United seemingly heading for victory, Onana's second blunder in the 79th minute was even more inexplicable. He inexplicably punched a Ziyech cross into his own net to level the scores. Kerem Aktürkoğlu then wrapped up the points for Galatasaray in the 83rd minute with a stunning strike, leaving United on the brink of elimination from the competition. The Red Devils' defensive frailties were once again exposed, but Onana's errors were inexcusable. He has now made three mistakes in the Champions League this season, which is unacceptable for a goalkeeper of his price tag. \Manag

  Second member of Royal Family ‘is named as racist’ in Dutch translation of Endgame In a controversial turn of events, the Dutch translation of Omid Scobie's book "Endgame" has apparently named a second member of the British Royal Family as being involved in a racist conversation about Prince Archie's skin color. The identity of the second individual has not been publicly released, but the revelation has sparked further outrage and calls for accountability within the monarchy.

The emergence of a second royal's name in the Dutch translation has deepened
