لاعب مانشستر يونايتد السابق يقاضي النادي بسبب الإهمال الطبي

كشفت تقارير صحفية إنجليزية أن أحد اللاعبين السابقين لفريق مانشستر يونايتد قرر مقاضاة النادي، بتهمة الإهمال الطبي، فيما يخص المشورة الطيبة، على حد ما ذُكر.

وواجه مانشستر يونايتد موسمًا سيئًا، 2024/25، حيث اكتفى بتحقيق المركز الخامس عشر في جدول الدوري الإنجليزي.

وبدأ مانشستر يونايتد استعداداته للموسم الجديد المرتقب، مثل بقية الأندية، ولكن المشاكل لا تتوقف عن الارتباط بالنادي.

وحسبما ذكرت صحيفة “تليجراف” الإنجليزية، فإن اللاعب أكسل توانزيبي قرر مقاضاة نادي مانشستر يونايتد بتهمة الإهمال الطبي، المرتبط بالمشورة الطبية التي حصل عليها منهم.

كان توانزيبي قد انضم إلى أكاديمية مانشستر يونايتد في سن الثامنة، ولعب مع النادي في مختلف المستويات، ولكنه لم يشارك إلا في 37 مباراة فقط مع الفريق الأول منذ ظهوره الأول في يناير 2017.

وقضى توانزيبي فترات إعارة مع كل من أستون فيلا، نابولي، ستوك سيتي، وتأثرت مسيرته في “الأولد ترافورد” بسبب الإصابة والتي كانت بدايتها في 2019 عندما تعرض لمشكلة في الورك في شهر أكتوبر، ثم غاب عن بقية الموسم المذكور بعدما عانى من إصابة جديدة في ديسمبر من العام نفسه.

ثم غاب توانزيبي عن بداية الموسم التالي بسبب إصابة في القدم، وغاب لفترة طويلة أخرى عن الملاعب في بداية موسم 2022/23، ولم يعد للتدريب إلا في يناير 2023، وبعد ذلك انضم إلى ستوك سيتي على سبيل الإعارة، قبل أن يرحل عن مانشستر يونايتد قبل نهاية عقده بعامين وينضم إلى إيبسويتش تاون في سبتمبر من العام المذكور.

ولعب توانزيبي دورًا في قيادة إيبسويتش تاون إلى الدوري الإنجليزي الموسم الماضي، قبل الهبوط من جديد، ليرحل وينضم إلى بيرنلي الذي صعد إلى البريميرليج الموسم المقبل.

وحسبما أفادت صحيفة “تليجراف” الإنجليزية، فإن اللاعب صاحب الـ27 عامًا رفع دعوى قضائية أمام المحكمة العليا، ورفض محاموه التعليق على الأمر.

كما تواصلت إدارة مانشستر يونايتد مع اللاعب الكاميروني للتعليق على الدعوى القضائية المذكورة، دون استجابة حتى الآن.

Ireland enjoy Essex workout with Paul Stirling century, Lorcan Tucker 97

Tourists recover from 65 for 5 to pass 400 despite Jamal Richards five-for

ESPNcricinfo staff27-May-2023

Paul Stirling made a century•Cricket Ireland

Paul Stirling made a century and Lorcan Tucker 97 as Ireland recovered from a rocky start to their first innings against Essex, eventually being dismissed for 419 to take a lead of 76.Graham Hume then pushed his claims for a place in the XI at Lord’s next week by removing both Essex openers in the same over.Stirling, who scored his first Test hundred in Galle last month, had been expected to miss the game against England because of a deal to play in the Blast for Birmingham Bears, but was picked in the squad after a change of heart.Related

Debutant Das hits dashing ton as Ireland toil in warm-up

Little missing Lord's Test 'the best thing' for Ireland

He only joined the tour match in Chelmsford on Saturday, having turned out for Birmingham in Leicester less than 24 hours previously, and was quickly making the adjustment to facing a red ball after walking out in the sixth over of the morning.Ireland were 46 for 4 at that stage, and the score soon became 65 for 5 as Jamal Richards and Mark Adair – the Ireland seamer who is playing for Essex in this match – rattled the top order.However, Stirling and Tucker set about repairing the damage with a stand that was eventually worth 175 in 30.1 overs.Stirling brought up his half-century first, from 63 balls, with Tucker getting to the mark from 61 balls shortly after. Tucker, the wicketkeeper-batter, then accelerated towards a century with a flurry of boundaries, but required treatment for an arm problem on 96 and then cut tamely to backward point a few balls later.With Stirling content to weigh anchor, Andy McBrine breezed to a 48-ball fifty against a tiring attack, as Ireland added 105 for the seventh wicket. Stirling brought up his century from 137 balls shortly before tea.After the break, McBrine dragged on to his stumps to hand 18-year-old Noah Thaine a maiden first-class wicket, and Stirling miscued a pull off Richards with the second new ball. Fionn Hand’s belligerent 48 not out from No. 9 extended Ireland’s lead before Richards capped an impressive showing by completing a five-for on debut.There was time for Essex to begin their second innings, and Hume struck twice in the space of five balls – Nick Browne caught behind and Josh Rymell taken at slip – but first-innings centurion Robin Das once again played his shots to be 27 not out from 26 at the close.

49ers set to sign "incredible" star for Farke who has scored against Leeds

RB Leipzig are also keen.

ByCharlie Smith Jan 24, 2025

On the pitch, things are going to plan, with Leeds five points better off than they were at this stage last season after 29 Championship games. There is still time for the club to add to their squad before the February 3 deadline, though, and Farke said a centre-back, attacking midfielder and centre-forward are positions Leeds could still strengthen in.

“There are still a few positions we could have a deeper look at if they can improve the squad. But right now, I’m a little bit more calmer with not being in panic mode with the need to have to do something.

“I think it’s fair to say if there is a creative offensive player out there, like a number 10 position, then it is something that could be beneficial for our group.

“Brenden Aaronson has been excellent this season and a key player for us. But we might have a similar player like him in our group. Of course we have players who can play in this role.

“If there is a solution for a creative midfield player it definitely make sense to stay awake. In all the other areas we are covered. The only two [positions] we have to stay awake in my head is the centre-back position… and perhaps a bit in the striker position.”

In attack, Patrick Bamford continues to be out injured, leaving Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph as the options for Farke. One attacker who has been loosely linked is Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho, and it looks as if a move has gathered pace.

The 28-year-old, who has scored once against the Whites during his career, was brought to Sevilla by former Leeds chief Victor Orta, but it hasn’t been a move that has gone to plan, scoring just three times in 11 appearances.

Iheanacho, dubbed “incredible” by Brendan Rodgers, netted five times in 23 appearances in the Championship as the Foxes lifted the title, so he may have his eyes on another second-tier crown with Leeds in the final months of the season.

Moeen Ali departs after leading Birmingham back to winning ways

Ashes-bound spinner takes 3 for 16 as Bears edge past Northants in low-scorer

ECB Reporters Network09-Jun-2023

Moeen Ali celebrates a wicket with team-mates•Getty Images

Birmingham Bears returned to winning ways in the Vitality Blast with a 30-run victory over Northamptonshire Steelbacks in a low-scoring contest on a turning track at Edgbaston.Spinners dominated as the Bears, having chosen to bat, were bowled out for 137 in 18.5 overs after left-arm wristspinner Freddie Heldreich continued his excellent Blast campaign with a career-best 4 for 27. Heldreich took a wicket in each of his four overs as only Sam Hain (35 from 31 balls) and Alex Davies (32 from 18) passed 15 for the home side.The Steelbacks reply was then even more emphatically smothered – 107 for 9 from 20 overs – by the four-pronged home spin attack. Dan Mousley took 3 for 14 and Moeen Ali 3 for 16 to help his side to their first win in four attempts under his leadership before he now leaves to join England’s squad ahead of next week’s Ashes opener.Davies supplied the Bears with a punchy and, it was to prove, priceless start despite quickly losing two partners. Rob Yates lifted Tom Taylor to deep square leg and Moeen’s unproductive batting return to the Bears was completed when he skied David Willey to mid-off. The England player departs for Test duty on the back of 48 runs in four Blast knocks.Davies perished in pursuit of his third six when Saif Zaib took a well-judged catch on the rope in front of the Hollies Stand off Heldreich. That was the spinner’s fourth ball – he struck another big blow with his tenth which Glenn Maxwell, having hit the previous ball into the Hollies, chipped tamely to extra cover.Heldreich’s 17th delivery inflicted further damage when Mousley missed an attempted pull and fell lbw and when his 19th ousted Chris Benjamin, to another well-judged catch by Zaib at deep mid-wicket, the Bears were 93 for 6. As so often, the burden of responsibility fell on Hain and when he was bowled, making room to cut Zaib, a moderate total was assured.The Steelbacks found the going even tougher against the twirlers, notably Mousley who took two crucial wickets for eight in his first two overs. The 21-year-old bowled Chris Lynn and Josh Cobb either side of taking a fine catch in the deep to remove the dangerous Emilio Gay off Maxwell.Moeen then struck twice as Willey edged behind and Lewis McManus heaved to deep midwicket where the effervescent and ubiquitous Mousley took the catch. After ten overs, the Steelbacks had stuttered to 50 for 5 with 88 needed from the last ten.Scoring at that rate in such conditions was out of the question. Zaib and Taylor nurdled 29 from 30 balls but Mousley returned to the attack to have Taylor caught at extra cover and Danny Briggs hit James Sales’ middle stump to collect his 249th T20 wicket.A quest for 63 from the last five overs was hopeless. Zaib (25 from 29 balls) was bowled behind his legs sweeping at Moeen and the Steelbacks subsided swiftly under the shimmering mosaic of pinks, oranges and ochres in the dazzling iridescence of a Birmingham sunset.

MatériaMais Notícias

da wazamba: Com os dois gols contra o Atlético-MG na última terça-feira (1), no empate por 2 a 2, Calleri se consolidou como o terceiro maior artilheiro estrangeiro da história do São Paulo. Agora com 48 gols marcados com a camisa do Tricolor paulista – somando suas duas passagens – ultrapassouGustavo Albella, que atuou no clube entre 1952 e 1954.

da betsson: ATUAÇÕES: Calleri brilha em empate do São Paulo; Ferraresi vai bem

Veja tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro e simule os próximos jogos

Agora, o argentino conta com somente dois nomes á sua frente neste ranking – e um deles com um número de gols bem próximo da sua marca. Calleri está atrás deAntonio Sastre, seu compatriota com 56 gols, e do uruguaio Pedro Rocha, que conta com 119 gols.

Este ano foi, sem dúvidas, o melhor ano de toda a carreira do camisa 9. Seus feitos pelo São Paulo ultrapassaram todas as suas passagens em outras equipes – inclusive, seu período na Europa, do qual somando todas as equipes, marcou 33 gols.

Com os feitos contra o Galo, Calleri retornou a luta da artilharia no Campeonato Brasileiro também. Agora com 18 gols, se igualou a Pedro Raúl, do Goiás, que estava na vice-artilharia da competição. Agora, os dois jogadores estão atrás somente de Germán Cano, do Fluminense, com 21 gols.

Uma das grandes metas de Calleri, ao encerrar a temporada com o posto de artilheiro do Campeonato Brasileiro, é igualar um recorde alcançado há 50 anos, por Pedro Rocha – o maior estrangeiro que passou pelo São Paulo.

Desde 1972, o Campeonato Brasileiro não conta com um artilheiro estrangeiro.Este ano, após quase meio século, dois gringos estão acirrados novamente na disputa pela artilharia da maior competição nacional. No caso, Calleri e Germán Cano.

Mesmo com a brilhante fase, o camisa 9 do Tricolor paulista sempre destaca que reconhece a importância dos seus gols, mas ainda busca algo que não tem: títulos pelo São Paulo.

Durante a zona mista após o duelo com o Atlético-MG, Calleri trouxe este assunto à tona novamente, ressaltando inclusive a necessidade de garantir a classificação da equipe para a Copa Libertadores no próximo ano.

– Eu estou satisfeito com o meu ano. Não conseguimos dar o título, que era o mais importante. Posso fazer 20, 30 gols, se a gente não conseguir as conquistas, não adianta nada. Para ter um 2023 bom, precisamos classificar para a Libertadores – disse.

ليفربول يقترب من التعاقد مع مدرب مانشستر يونايتد

دخل نادي ليفربول الإنجليزي في مفاوضات متقدمة مع مدرب مانشستر يونايتد، ليتولى مهمة تدريب الفريق، بحسب ما أكدت تقارير صحفية.

وأنهى الفريق الأول لليفربول الموسم الماضي بالتتويج بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز تحت قيادة الهولندي آرني سلوت، في عامه الأول مع الفريق.

وبحسب ما ورد بصحيفة “ذا أثليتك”، يرغب ليفربول في التعاقد مع مدرب جديد، ليس للفريق الأول، ولكن لفريق تحت 18 عامًا، ليحل محل مارك بريدج ويلكينسون.

وأفاد التقرير أن ليفربول في محادثات متقدمة لضم المدرب سيمون وايلز من غريمه اللدود مانشستر يونايتد.

سيمون وايلز يتولى تدريب فريق تحت 14 عامًا بمانشستر يونايتد، والذي يدربه منذ سبتمبر 2024 بعد فترة قضاها مدربًا مؤقتًا لفريق سالفورد سيتي.

£40m striker open to West Ham move as Sullivan eyes double forward swoop

The co-chairman is set to have more of a say on transfers this window over Tim Steidten.

ByEmilio Galantini Jan 17, 2025

West Ham have been in talks over signing Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest, as reliably reported by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, while it is believed that Brighton starlet Evan Ferguson could be signed Hammers technical director Tim Steidten on loan.

Awoniyi is no longer Forest’s first-choice striker, despite flashes of brilliance in 2023/2024, with the Premier League’s fifth-top scorer Chris Wood currently far ahead of the Nigerian in Nuno Espirito Santo’s pecking order and loving life right now.

This could potentially free up the possibility of a move for Awoniyi, but at the same time, Nuno most likely won’t be keen on losing a capable back-up striker mid-season. Ferguson, meanwhile, is facing an uncertain future at Brighton and Fabian Hurzeler has admitted that he could depart on a temporary deal.

Brighton & Hove Albion'sEvanFergusoncelebrates

“We will negotiate what is important for him, what is important for his development, where he can improve the best, and then we will make the decision together,” said Hurzeler on Ferguson’s future.

“This decision should be what is best for the player and for the club. We sent (Facundo) Buonanotte, for example, to Leicester.

“We know that the Premier League is a very good league to improve, because it’s tough, it’s intense, especially for young players. It’s the perfect environment to adapt.”

RB Leipzig hitman Andre Silva is attracting serious interest from West Ham as well, according to reports in Germany, so there are plenty of targets who the east Londoners are considering right now, as Steidten and co-chair David Sullivan seek to provide Potter with a goalscorer.

Graham Potter "clear" he wants Jonathan David at West Ham

According to a new report by The Boot Room and journalist Graeme Bailey, Lille star Jonathan David is firmly on the West Ham boss’ personal radar.

David, who’s scored a brilliant 17 goals and registered six assists so far this campaign, has bagged a career total of 169 for club and country combined at just 25-years-old.

LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David

To make matters even more attractive for the Irons, he’s also out of contract at the end of this season – meaning he could leave for a cut-price January fee, agree a pre-contract overseas or decide on his next club at zero cost in the summer.

The Canada international’s pending availability makes him a very attractive option, and potentially one of the bargains of 2025. Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Man United are all considering an approach to David, as are West Ham.

As per TBR’s information, West Ham are ready to make an offer to David, and Potter has made it “clear” to the club that he wants them to compete for the Brooklyn native’s services.

David is quickly growing his reputation as a “world-class” centre-forward, and arguably what West Ham need. However, they’ll have to wait until later in the year to seal his signature for nothing.

Ditch Calvert-Lewin: Moyes could instantly sign his next Bowen at Everton

da stake casino: Well, it looks like David Moyes is gearing up to make a stunning return to Goodison Park for the final months of the Everton Stadium’s journey.

da esport bet: How poetic. However, Moyes has been targetted by The Friedkin Group due to his expertise and track record with struggling Premier League outfits, leading West Ham United to European glory in similar conditions back in December 2019. That, incidentally, was also the 61-year-old’s second stint with the Hammers.

You’d think that the Scotsman would be seeking assurances in the transfer market this month as he looks to steer away from the negative football that Sean Dyche employed before his dismissal, all the while keeping a strong and structured base.

Up front, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has flattered to deceive this term and has gone 15 top-flight matches without a goal or assist. With Armando Broja’s fitness levels raising question, it’s crucial that a new forward is signed.

Everton's striker search

Everton supporters have celebrated 15 goals in the Premier League this season, making it the second-lowest return in the division and worthy of a final place in the bottom three.

The hope is that Moyes can maintain the defensive security that has been a staple of Dyche’s style while rekindling the Toffees’ attacking verve, and he could achieve that through a new forward: namely, Georges Mikautadze.

Toward the end of December, French outlet Foot Mercato revealed that Everton are one of the clubs in the running for Lyon’s Mikautadze, who joined the club from divisional rivals Metz for joined the club from divisional rivals Metz for €18m (£15m) last summer but could be made transferrable due to the stricken club’s financial issues.

The return of Moyes might convince the Georgia international – who has scored seven goals in all competitions this season – to make the somewhat risky move to Merseyside, not least because he could be the Scottish manager’s next version of Jarrod Bowen.

Mikautadze could be Moyes' next Jarrod Bowen

When Moyes returned to east London in December 2019, he didn’t leave it long until he forked out £22m for Hull City’s Bowen, viewing the versatile forward as the perfect mid-season signing option to lift West Ham away from the relegation fodder.

Bowen now captains the Irons and scored the winning goal as they won the Conference League in 2023, posting 107 goal contributions across 223 appearances in total. He’s been praised as a West Ham “legend” by presenter Tom Rennie.

Mikautadze could be Everton’s talisman in the same vein as the Three Lions star, for he ranks among the top 12% of forwards across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for progressive passes, the top 8% for progressive carries and the top 4% for successful take-ons per 90, as per FBref, emphasising his own dynamic skill set.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

Let’s look at how that compares with Bowen’s own metrics within the same parameters. The 28-year-old ranks among the top 12% for assists, the top 14% for shot-creating actions, 4% for progressive carries and the top 14% for successful take-ons per 90.

A menace at Euro 2024 with Georgia, the 24-year-old Mikautadze – who, like Bowen, can operate on flanks or through the middle – scored three goals from four matches, also creating five key passes and completing seven dribbles, as per Sofascore.

With Lyon in the trenches, he does have some experience in battling through adversity, but this dynamic and positionally flexible talent carries the same kind of mechanics as Bowen – and Moyes knows a thing or two about getting the best out of such a profile.

With the aforementioned Calvert-Lewin struggling to fire and out of contract this summer, such an addition could be crucial to Moyes’ hopes of success back at Goodison.
