Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted his team is in a relegation battle after their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League on Monday (Dec 31). United lost 0-2 to Newcastle, meaning the Red Devils will end the year in the bottom half of the table for the first time since the 1988-89 season. After the defeat, the Portuguese gaffer spoke to the presser and admitted his team is in a relegation battle having lost four of the five matches.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Amorim admits relegation battle</h2>
"We have been speaking about Eriksen and Casemiro on this show 18 months ago. These players can't run. We know that. That is on the manager putting these two players in that position and in that system,&rdquo; Amorim said while speaking to the press in the aftermath of the Newcastle United match.
"But right now it is not just about tonight. United have lost five of their last six. That's relegation form."
Coming into the Newcastle contest, United had lost three of the four Premier League matches, with their only win being the Manchester Derby against City earlier in the month. Alexander Isak scored in the fourth minute before Joelinton added a second goal to his team tally in the 19th minute. Things could have been worse for the Red Devils after Sandro Tonali hit the post before halftime.

At the time of writing, United sit 14th in the Premier League standings and have 22 points from 19 matches, winning only six matches so far. The task will only get tougher for Amorim&rsquo;s side over the weekend as they take on Liverpool at Anfield, having earlier lost the same fixture 0-3 at Old Trafford.
The Reds are flying high at the moment and sit top of the Premier League table with 45 points in 18 matches. Arne Slot&rsquo;s side currently smells blood against United and will head into the contest as heavy favourites to win the match.

Rahmat Shah struck an Afghanistan Test record 231 not out while partnering Hashmatullah Shahidi in an unbeaten 361-run stand on the third day of the first Test against Zimbabwe on Saturday.&nbsp;
<h2>Shah headlines for Afghanistan</h2>
Captain Shahidi finished a punishing, wicket-less day for the six-man Zimbabwe attack on 141 for his second Test century. &nbsp;
Starting the day on 95 for two, the tourists were 425 for two by the close of play at Queens Sports Club in southern city Bulawayo. &nbsp;
Zimbabwe, who scored a record 586 after winning the toss and batting, hold a 161-run lead going into the fourth day of the match.
Shah bettered the previous best Afghan individual score of 200 not out by Shahidi against Zimbabwe in Abu Dhabi three years ago.
He has faced 416 balls after coming in when Afghanistan lost opener Sediqullah Atal in the second over, and struck three sixes and 23 fours in his record knock.&nbsp;
His previous highest score was 102 against Bangladesh in 2019 -- the first Test century by an Afghan.
Inexperienced spinner Brian Bennett was the bowler when Shah became a centurion, then a double centurion.
Shah, part of the Afghanistan team that made their Test debut in 2018 against India, struck a single to reach 100, and a four to get to 200.
Shahidi proved a superb partner. He has faced 276 deliveries and hit 16 fours.
The skipper reached his century with a pull shot to fine leg off Newman Nyamhuri, one of two Test debutants in the Zimbabwe attack.

Zimbabwe, seeking a first Test win since beating Afghanistan three years ago, were guilty of some wayward bowling and sloppy fielding.
Medium pacer Trevor Gwandu was a wicket-taker, but also the joint most expensive Zimbabwe bowler, conceding 86 runs.
Afghanistan won Twenty20 and one-day international series ahead of the Test -- the first of two with the second set to start on January 2.

The Centurion Test match hangs in balance after Pakistan bowlers struck late on Day 3 of the contest.

After a resolute performance with bat from South Africa on Day 2 of the Test match, it was the turn of their bowlers to shine. Marco Jansen was the hero of the hour for Proteas as he ended with figures of 52/6 getting important wickets of Babar Azam (50) and Saud Shakeel (84) as he got the better of the entire middle order. It was also Babar&rsquo;s first Test fifty in more than two years as he ended his drought with the bat. <o:p></o:p>
Starting the day at 88/3, Pakistan were bowled out for 237 in the final session of the day as they set a target of 148 runs to win for South Africa. Kagiso Rabada bagged figures of 68/2 while there were wickets a piece for Corbin Bosch and Dane Paterson.

Being the PM meant, that Singh had to reside with his family in New Delhi. However, long before his tenure as prime minister, Singh had rented out a house in the northeastern state of Assam.
<h2>Manmohan Singh- the diligent tenant</h2>
According to media reports, the property in Assam's Guwahati belonged to Hemoprova Saikia. The house was officially rented by Manmohan Singh in 1991, the year when he was first elected to the Rajya Sabha from Assam.
House number 3989 in Guwahati's Nandan Nagar, remained Singh's address until his fifth Rajya Sabha term ended in 2019. Following this, he was elected from Rajasthan (for the Rajya Sabha). He retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier in 2024.

Speaking to NDTV, Hemoprova Saikia said that Singh always used to pay his rent on time and by cheque.
"Once, when he was prime minister, he sent the rent by cheque but we forgot to encash it, so he wrote a letter and attached a fresh cheque, asking us to encash immediately," Saika told NDTV.
"Even as a prime minister, he was diligent as a tenant. There are a lot of things for politicians of this generation to learn from Dr Singh," she added.&nbsp;
<h2>'There were people who didn't like Singh's entry in Assam'</h2>
Saikia recalled that Manmohan Singh was a simple man with massive integrity. She pointed out that there were people who didn't like Sing's entry into the northeastern state.
