Manchester United star Mason Greenwood has been arrested for allegedly breaching his bail conditions. The England striker was arrested in January this year after being accused of rape and assault by his former girlfriend. The 21-year-old was detained by the police in an alleged rape and assault case before being bailed.

He was arrested again from his mansion on Saturday after he allegedly tried to contact the victim - his former girlfriend. As per the conditions laid out in his bail contract, Greenwood was told not to contact the victim at any point during the ongoing case. However, a 'breach' of the conditions has once again put the Manchester United star in trouble.

"Greater Manchester Police are aware of an allegation regarding a 21-year-old man breaching his bail conditions and an arrest has been made on Saturday 15 October 2022. Enquiries are ongoing at this time," said a spokesperson of the Greater Manchester Police.

Greenwood's ex-girlfriend Harriet Robson had taken to social media to release horrific pictures of bruises on her body and blood dripping out of her nose in January this year to accuse Greenwood of rape and assault. In an audio leaked by Robson, Greenwood was also heard threatening to kill her for refusing&nbsp;sex.

He was later arrested by the Greater Manchester Police and released on bail on February 02. He was due to answer his bail on April 30 before the date was pushed back following a court hearing in June this year. Greenwood was suspended by Manchester United following the allegations against him and has not played for the club ever since.

However, Greenwood is still contracted by United and continues to receive his salary as an outcome is pending in the case. Greenwood's name has also not been removed from United's official squad on their website. United had earlier said Greenwood remains their player while the legal process is on.

"There has been no change whatsoever in Mason’s status. We removed his profile from the club app soon after he was removed from the squad in January. This was in order to remove Mason from interactive elements of the app, such as team predictions etc," United had said in a statement.

"However, his profile was never removed from the website as he remains a Manchester United player, albeit not currently part of the squad while the legal process unfolds," they added.

Liverpool cannot compete with Manchester City's financial power, manager Jurgen Klopp said on Friday, adding that their Premier League rivals and some other clubs "can do what they want".

Second-placed City visit Liverpool in the weekend's most anticipated Premier League clash on Sunday as they are 13 points clear of Klopp's side, who have a game in hand.

Asked how Liverpool could keep up with Pep Guardiola's team, who won the Premier League for the fourth time in five seasons in May, Klopp replied that nobody could.

"You will not like the answer, and you all have the answer already. Nobody can compete with City in that," he said.

"You have the best team in the world and you put in the best striker on the market. No matter what it costs, you just do it.

"I know City will not like it, nobody will like it, you've asked the question but you know the answer. What does Liverpool do? We cannot act like them. It is not possible."

City signed Norwegian striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in a deal reported to be worth 51 million pounds ($56.97 million) in the close season but the multi-year deal, including his salary, could exceed 300 million euros.

Australian pacer Mitchell Starc issued a cheeky warning to England batter Jos Buttler about leaving the crease early at the non-striker's end during the third and final T20I between the two sides at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Friday. The game ended in a no-result after rain hampered the proceedings.

England batted first in the rain-marred encounter which was earlier reduced to a 12-overs-a-side contest. During England's innings, Starc was heard warning Buttler about leaving the crease early at the non-striker's end. The Australian pacer cheekily referred to Indian women's team all-rounder Deepti Sharma while warning Buttler.

The incident happened during the fifth over of England's innings when Buttler was at the non-striker's end with Dawid Malan facing Starc. The left-arm pacer spotted Buttler leaving the crease early and warned him to stay inside the crease. However, Buttler refused Starc's claim and said he was not backing up too much.

"I'm not Deepti, but I won't do it. That doesn't mean you can leave early," Starc was caught telling Buttler on the stump mic as he walked back to bowl the fifth delivery of the over.

"I don't think I did," Buttler responded.

'I am not Deepti, but..': Starc warns Buttler over leaving crease early using Indian star's reference - WATCH

Fast bowler Renuka Singh wreaked havoc with the ball while Smriti Mandhana starred with the bat as India thrashed Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the final to cinch the Women's Asia Cup 2022 title at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Bangladesh on Saturday.

India have now won the Asia Cup a record-extending seven times, a testament to their dominance in the tournament. The Women in Blue entered the summit clash as overwhelming favourites and stood up to their tag to emerge on top. Harmanpreet &amp; Co. produced a stunning bowling performance to restrict&nbsp;Sri Lanka to&nbsp;a paltry 65 before chasing down the target without breaking a sweat.

Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu won the toss and opted to bat first in the all-important clash. However, the decision backfired as Lanka got off to a horrendous start. Athapaththu was dismissed cheaply on just 6 off 12 balls by Renuka before the Indian pacer sent back no.3 Harshitha Madavi on a duck.

Renuka went on to finish with excellent figures of 3/5 in her three overs as she also accounted for the dismissal of Hasini Perera on a duck. The Sri Lankan batting line-up fell like a pack of cards as the Indian bowlers ran riot. While Renuka was the pick of the bowlers for India with a three-wicket haul, Sneh Rana and Rajeshwari Gayakwad picked up two wickets each.

After a brilliant show by the bowlers, the batters made light work of the run-chase as they nailed down the target with ease. India got off to a shaky start as they lost both Shafali Verma (5) and Jemimah Rodrigues (2) in quick succession, however, Smriti Mandhana slammed a brilliant half-century to single-handedly take her team over the line.

Mandhana looked in splendid touch as she made a mockery of the Sri Lankan bowling attack. The left-hand opener scored an unbeaten 51 off 25 balls laced with six fours and three sixes to ensure a comprehensive victory for the Indian team.

India dominated the proceedings throughout the tournament as they started out with a comfortable victory over eventual finalists Sri Lanka before thrashing Malaysia and UAE in lop-sided encounters. India suffered a minor blip losing against arch-rivals Pakistan but bounced back against Bangladesh to make it to the final.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma explained why the Indian team management decided against risking Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, stating that the fast bowler's career is more important than the trophy for the team. Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury.

One of the best fast bowlers in the world at present, Bumrah's absence is a huge blow to Team India's chances at the World Cup. However, Rohit said the 28-year-old's career is more important for the Indian team compared to their chances of winning the T20 World Cup in Australia this month.

Bumrah had missed the Asia Cup in the UAE earlier this year due to a back issue before making his comeback from injury during the home series against Australia. He was set to feature in the T20 series against South Africa at home but was ruled out once again after his back injury resurfaced.

BCCI eventually confirmed his ouster from the T20 World Cup while naming Mohammed Shami as his replacement, days ahead of the start of the tournament. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Rohit revealed the Indian team management consulted with specialists regarding Bumrah's injury but decided against risking him for the World Cup.

"Bumrah is a quality player, he has been playing very well over the years. Unfortunately, injuries happen. But you can't do anything about it. We spoke to a lot of specialists about his injury but we didn't get a positive response. World Cup. Yes, it's very important, but his career, for us, is more important. He is just 28 years old and he has a lot of cricket left in him," Rohit said speaking about Bumrah's injury.

"So, we can't take such risks. All the specialists we spoke to, also suggested the same. There is a lot of cricket left to be played. He will play a lot more matches and win a lot more matches for India in the future. There is no doubt about it. But his absence is a blow for us," the Indian skipper added.

Apart from Bumrah, India are also missing the services of star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for the T20 World Cup 2022 due to an injury. The Men in Blue will also be without pacer Deepak Chahar, who was part of the reserves but has been ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury.

Jasprit Bumrah is just 28, his career is more important than the T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma

A month after reporting their biggest-ever financial loss, Juventus are braced for yet more economic pain as they near elimination from the Champions League.

Tuesday's humiliating 2-0 defeat by Maccabi Haifa left chief executive Andrea Agnelli "ashamed" and "angry" as his club sank five points behind second-placed Benfica in Group H with two games left to play.

They face the prospect of not making it out of the group stage for the first time since 2013.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri, who is enduring a torrid second spell in charge of Juventus after a trophy-laden first tenure, responded by obliging the team to stay at their base for three days before Saturday's derby in the league against Torino.

Juve's European struggles come at a particularly acute time for the club, who last month posted a loss of 254 million euros ($247.07 million) for the last financial year.

Not making the Champions League knockout round would deprive Juventus of 9.6 million euros of prize money for reaching the last 16 plus a potential 38.6 million euros in the event they reached the final.

A bigger concern long-term would be a failure to finish in the top-four of Serie A and make it into next season's competition, a very real threat with the team currently eighth in the Serie A standings.

The team's poor results mark another low for Agnelli, one of the architects of the doomed European Super League.

The proposed league, which collapsed two days after its launch in April 2021, sought to guarantee entry and increase prize money for the continent's biggest sides and guard against the impact of one poor campaign.

Juventus are one of three clubs of the 12 founders to still back the Super League, along with Barcelona, who are also on the brink of Champions League elimination, and Real Madrid. Their hopes of resurrecting the project rest on a case being considered by the European Union’s top court.

This is Juventus' most difficult period since the 2010-11 season, when they finished seventh in Serie A, although their struggles then could be explained by the devastating effects of the 2006 Calciopoli corruption scandal.

Their current travails are harder to excuse. Juve won a record nine consecutive Serie A titles between 2012 and 2020, a period in which they also reached two Champions League finals.

Allegri returned as coach in 2021 in the hope he would restore them to their past glories after the unsuccessful appointments of Maurizio Sarri and novice Andrea Pirlo.

But the coach has been accused of failing to move with the times, sticking rigidly to outdated tactics.

Despite the dire results, Agnelli has insisted he will not sack Allegri mid-season.

"A situation like this isn't dependent on one person. It comes down to the collective and we must start thinking like one again," he said on Tuesday.

The problem for Agnelli is Juventus have been on the decline for several years under his watch, both on and off the pitch.

A month after reporting their biggest-ever financial loss, Juventus are braced for yet more economic pain as they near elimination from the Champions League. Tuesday's humiliating 2-0 defeat by Maccabi Haifa left chief executive Andrea Agnelli "ashamed" and "angry" as his club sank five points behind second-placed Benfica in Group H with two games left to play.

A month after reporting their biggest-ever financial loss, Juventus are braced for yet more economic pain as they near elimination from the Champions League. Tuesday's humiliating 2-0 defeat by Maccabi Haifa left chief executive Andrea Agnelli "ashamed" and "angry" as his club sank five points behind second-placed Benfica in Group H with two games left to play. They face the prospect of not making it out of the group stage for the first time since 2013. Coach Massimiliano Allegri, who is enduring a torrid second spell in charge of Juventus after a trophy-laden first tenure, responded by obliging the team to stay at their base for three days before Saturday's derby in the league against Torino. Juve's European struggles come at a particularly acute time for the club, who last month posted a loss of 254 million euros ($247.07 million) for the last financial year. Not making the Champions League knockout round would deprive Juventus of 9.6 million euros of prize money for reaching the last 16 plus a potential 38.6 million euros in the event they reached the final. A bigger concern long-term would be a failure to finish in the top-four of Serie A and make it into next season's competition, a very real threat with the team currently eighth in the Serie A standings. The team's poor results mark another low for Agnelli, one of the architects of the doomed European Super League. Also Read: Europa League: Manchester United, Arsenal scrape wins as Real Sociedad claim top-two spot The proposed league, which collapsed two days after its launch in April 2021, sought to guarantee entry and increase prize money for the continent's biggest sides and guard against the impact of one poor campaign. Juventus are one of three clubs of the 12 founders to still back the Super League, along with Barcelona, who are also on the brink of Champions League elimination, and Real Madrid. Their hopes of resurrecting the project rest on a case being considered by the European Union’s top court. This is Juventus' most difficult period since the 2010-11 season, when they finished seventh in Serie A, although their struggles then could be explained by the devastating effects of the 2006 Calciopoli corruption scandal. Their current travails are harder to excuse. Juve won a record nine consecutive Serie A titles between 2012 and 2020, a period in which they also reached two Champions League finals. Allegri returned as coach in 2021 in the hope he would restore them to their past glories after the unsuccessful appointments of Maurizio Sarri and novice Andrea Pirlo.

Despite the dire results, Agnelli has insisted he will not sack Allegri mid-season. "A situation like this isn't dependent on one person. It comes down to the collective and we must start thinking like one again," he said on Tuesday. The problem for Agnelli is Juventus have been on the decline for several years under his watch, both on and off the pitch.

Juventus sinking to new lows as Champions League exit looms

Ishan Kishan's terrific knock in the second ODI against South Africa in Ranchi left South Africa legend Dale Styen mighty impressed. After witnessing Kishan's heroics with the willow, Styen issues a warning to Rishabh Pant and India's other middle-order batters stating that they should be wary of the young left-hander.

Kishan has been around the Indian setup for a while now and his amazing hitting prowess is a secret to none. The talented southpaw can single-handedly take down bowling attacks on his day and packs a punch with his sensational strokes. He was in sublime touch during the second ODI against South Africa and missed out on a well-deserved hundred by a whisker.

Kishan slammed a brilliant knock of 93 runs off 84 balls laced with seven sixes and four fours in the second ODI against the Proteas as India defeated the visitors by seven wickets to level the three-match series 1-1. En route to his 93-run-knock, Kishan slammed a boundary and two consecutive sixes off a single over from fast bowler Anrich Nortje, leaving Steyn in awe of his stroke-making abilities.

"I actually played with him way back in the IPL, when he was like a baby. We nicknamed him Justin Bieber because he was like this absolute rockstar. I've watched him go and get better. For a short and small man, he packs an incredible punch. These sixes off (Anrich) Nortje aren't small sixes. They're pure timing and muscle," Steyn said on Star Sports talking about Kishan's knock.

"And just the ability to recognise when to take on the bowler... he is a great player and guys in that premium Indian team, Rishabh Pant, all the other guys in similar position, they will have eyes on the back of their heads knowing that Ishan Kishan is coming for their spot," Steyn said on Star Sports after the third ODI," he added.

Kishan was a regular in India's T20I team last year but fell down the pecking order due to a lack of chances and intense competition for spots. While Pant is currently India's first-choice keeper-batter in the shortest format and is with the rest of the squad in Australia ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, Kishan was part of the ODI squad for the South Africa series.

Veteran Indian batter Ambati Rayudu was involved in a heated clash with Sheldon Jackson during the clash between Baroda and Saurashtra in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022 on Wednesday. The two players lost their cool on each other after a verbal spat and had to be separated by their teammates and the on-field umpires.

The incident happened during Saurashtra's innings when Jackson was batting in the middle with his team chasing the target of 176 runs at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Rayudu and Jackson can be seen marching towards each other after an ugly spat.

As per reports, Baroda skipper Rayudu said something to Jackson which didn't go down well with the Saurashtra wicket-keeper batter leading to a clash between the duo. Baroda all-rounder Krunal Pandya was seen trying to calm Rayudu down as the players acted on time to prevent the spat from turning ugly.

Rayudu, a legend of Hyderabad cricket, is leading the Baroda team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy this season. He had an off day with the bat as he was dismissed on a duck by left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat during Baroda's innings.

Talking about the game, Saurashtra won the toss and opted to bowl first in the match. Baroda got off to a good start with openers Dhruv Patel (13) and Mitesh Patel (60) posting a 56-run stand for the first wicket. Mitesh looked in sublime touch and ended up top-scoring with 60 off 35 balls as he added another 48-run stand for the second wicket with half-centurion Vishnu Solanki, who scored 51 off 33 balls.

Bhanu Pania came up with a solid 10-ball 26 cameo towards the end to propel Baroda to a strong total of 175 runs. Their bowlers were expected to defend the total but Saurashtra batter Samarth Vyas turned out to be the lone fighter for his team and took them home with a splendid 97 off 52 balls.

Saurashtra chased down the target with two balls to spare to register their first win of the tournament after their openng game against Andhra was abandoned due to rain.

Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is currently in Australia preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 without the 15th member of their official squad. The selectors are yet to name a replacement for injured fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who was ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury.

In his absence, the experienced Mohammed Shami is being touted to take over Bumrah's spot in the team. However, the likes of Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur among others remain in contention. Deepak Chahar was also a contender to replace Bumrah but the pacer has been reportedly ruled out of the T20 World Cup due to a bask issue.

Chahar was part of India's reserves along with Shami and could have been promoted to the main team as Bumrah's replacement. However, he won't travel to Australia now. BCCI have instead sent Shami, Siraj and Shardul as reinforcements for the Indian team while not confirming who out of the three will be Bumrah's official replacement in the main squad.

Recently, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar picked the player who he feels can be an ideal replacement for injured Bumrah in India's squad for the T20 World Cup 2022. Keeping in mind that Shami has not played a T20I for India since the T20 World Cup last year and is returning after recovering from COVID-19 recently, Gavaskar said he would go with Siraj.

“I'd go for Siraj because he has been bowling well, Shami has not played for a while. And to hit your steps straight away in a World Cup, yes there are a couple of warm-up matches. As of now, nobody has been selected as the 15th player. I don't know...has he gone with the team to Australia? He hasn't gone. So he has played no cricket. And that's a concern," Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

"No doubting his quality. Just the fact that he (Shami) has not played any cricket. It's never easy to come back after Covid. Your stamina can be a little bit of suspect - I know it's a four-over game in T20I cricket. But look at the way Siraj has been bowling. He's bowling brilliantly," he added.

Siraj was impressive with the ball in the recently-concluded three-match ODI series against South Africa at home where he finished as the second-highest wicket-taker for India wicket five wickets. While Shami's experience and skills make him the frontrunner to replace Bumrah, Siraj can give the senior pacer a run for his money on his current form.

It remains to be seen who will be the selectors' choice for Bumrah's spot in the squad. October 15 is the deadline for all teams to finalise their squads and India will soon have to officially confirm Bumrah's replacement. The Men in Blue will open their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign against Pakistan on October 23.

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag on Wednesday confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo will defend himself against the charge of improper conduct levied against him by the English Football Association. Ronaldo was charged by the English FA after he smashed an Everton fan's phone out of his hand in frustration after Manchester United's loss against the club last season.

The incident happened in April this year when Ronaldo was caught on camera knocking a phone out of the hand of an Everton supporter, who was trying to film the United players heading back to the dressing room after their 1-0 defeat. A frustrated Ronaldo slapped the phone out of the young fan's hand leaving him with a bruised hand and a smashed phone.

The Manchester United star was cautioned by the police over the incident before he was charged with a breach of Rule E3 by the English Football Association over his conduct. Amid calls for strict punishment from the fan's mother, Ronaldo has decided to contest the charge.

Manchester United manager Ten Hag said he had a discussion with the Portuguese forward on the matter and he said he will not accept the charge. "We spoke about that. He will not accept it," Ten Hag said confirming Ronaldo's stand on the matter.

The case will be heard by an FA panel in the upcoming days. Earlier, the mother of the 14-year-old autistic Everton fan Jacob had called for the 'right punishment' for Ronaldo stating that her son still talks about what happened to him that particular day and is yet to have his phone back.

“Let's hope he finally gets the right punishment. He can't keep getting away with it. His behaviour is unacceptable. I'm being hounded by people saying I'm dragging it up again but I didn't know anything about it. He should have been dealt with six months ago. My son talks about what happened to him every day. He still hasn't had his phone back," the 14-year-old's mother Kely had said.

Ronaldo recently scored his 700th career goal in United's 2-1 win against Everton in the Premier League. The Portuguese legend became the first player in history to complete 700 goals in his club career as United bounced back to winning ways after their crushing 6-3 defeat against Manchester City in their last Premier League outing.

Ronaldo has had a sluggish start to the season but will be hopeful of returning to his best after scoring his first Premier League goal of the season against Everton. Manchester United manager Ten Hag said he is committed to supporting Ronaldo in getting back to his best suggesting that he is getting in better shape and will contribute more going forward.

"I want to support him as good as possible. So we have a certain demand on players, what we expect from him in certain positions on the pitch and what I do, as with other players, is I want to get the best out of them," said Ten Hag.

"He is getting in better shape now and I am happy with that, so he can contribute more to the squad and I'm sure he will do," he added.

Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has slammed Babar Azam asking him to come out of his average mindset. Afridi was not happy with Babar's timid approach during Pakistan's recent clash against Bangladesh in the ongoing tri-series in New Zealand.

Afridi's comments came in response to Babar's views ahead of Pakistan's game against Bangladesh in Christchurch. When asked about what kind of target they were looking to set for Bangladesh, Babar had said the Men in Green were looking at something close to 160.

Pakistan went on to post 167 runs on the board batting first and ended up winning the game comfortably by 21 runs. However, Babar's comments didn't go down well with Afridi, who has advised the Pakistan skipper to ditch his timid approach in T20Is and look at setting up big totals against all kinds of teams.

"Babar must come out of this average mindset and think big. If scoring 160 runs for the target against Bangladesh was his big intent, then what is he going to do against stronger teams," said Afridi.

While he criticised Babar for his approach, Afridi extended support to his opening partner Mohammad Rizwan, who has also been facing criticism from all corners over his sluggish approach with the bat. Both Babar and Rizwan have been slammed by many for failing to accelerate quickly as a result of which the team suffers when setting up targets.

However, Afridi urged Rizwan to continue playing the way he has been and ignore the critics. Rizwan is currently the top-ranked T20 batter in the world and has been a consistent run-getter for Pakistan in the shortest format.

"The actual thing is the beginning. Babar and Rizwan should score the chunk of runs [for other batters]. Rizwan shouldn't listen to anyone," said Afridi.
