Manchester United extended their winning streak under Michael Carrick to four games with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, while Liverpool and Manchester City prepare for a crucial match in the Premier League title race. Elsewhere, singer Neil Young canceled his upcoming UK and European tour, and Cristiano Ronaldo missed his second consecutive game for Al Nassr amid an ongoing dispute. The Iberian Peninsula braced for more severe weather as Storm Marta battered Portugal and Spain, just days after deadly floods.
Manchester United profited from Tottenham captain Cristian Romero's red card, securing their win with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes. The victory solidified their position in the Premier League's top four, according to Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, Liverpool is set to host Manchester City on Sunday at Anfield, a match with significant implications for the title race and Champions League qualification, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from Al Nassr's lineup continued, missing the game against Al Ittihad on Friday, following his absence from the match against Al Riyadh on Monday. Sky News reported that the Portuguese forward, 41, returned to training this week but was not included in the matchday squad. Ronaldo is reportedly in a dispute with the club, feeling they are not financially backing the team as much as their title rivals Al Hilal, according to Sky Sports News.
In other news, Neil Young canceled his upcoming UK and European tour with The Chrome Hearts. The Canadian-American singer, 80, apologized to fans, stating it was "not the time" to perform live shows, and he had "decided to take a break," according to Sky News. The tour was scheduled to include dates in Manchester, Glasgow, Woodstock in Oxfordshire, and Cork.
The Iberian Peninsula faced further challenges as Storm Marta hit Portugal and Spain, prompting warnings of potential fresh floods. Euronews reported that the storm followed deadly floods, leading to the deployment of over 26,500 rescuers in Portugal. The weather caused hundreds of roads to be blocked, disrupted train services, and forced thousands to evacuate.
