The Red Devils took a transfer hit on the Netherlands international when offloading him in January 2017. He had struggled to make an impact in England, becoming completely frozen out under Jose Mourinho, but has been reborn in France. A 13-goal return this season has sparked talk of another big-money move, with Serie A giants Milan reported to be leading the chase. Depay is, however, turning a deaf ear to exit rumours, telling Eurosport: “I’m focused on Lyon....

Local resident Hina Bakshi told the newspaper: “The langur has become a menace in our village … We do not know where it came from, but it has no fear of humans....

Man City Highest Scoring PL Team City broke the world-record fee for a defender by splashing out a reported £52 million for to sign Mendy from Monaco this month, the left-back following on the heels of Kyle Walker’s big-money move from Tottenham and the capture of Danilo from Real Madrid. The 23-year-old signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium after impressing for Monaco last season as they lifted the Ligue 1 title and reached the Champions League semi-final....

China admitted last week that in the past two years it has arranged to sell nuclear technology to Iran. It said the equipment-a small reactor and a separator used to produce radioactive isotopes–was intended for peaceful purposes, including “medical diagnosis and nuclear-physics research.” By itself, the equipment cannot produce nuclear material in sufficient quantities to make weapons, experts say. But if Iran wants to build bombs, all it has to do is reproduce the technology....

The TLC star, 51, shared a lengthy Instagram post with her 751,000 followers while relaxing in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Meri stars on Sister Wives with her “spiritual” husband Kody Brown, 53, and the other women in their plural marriage—Janelle, 53, and Robyn, 43—as well as Kody’s ex Christine. Ahead of Season 17 of the reality show, fans speculated that Meri and Kody may have also split following Kody and Christine’s separation, and the new episodes have shown cracks forming between the Brown family patriarch and his wives....

Bannon has become the subject of intense outcry and scrutiny since defying a subpoena from the committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection and the former president’s role in the attack. Though the House vote is expected to be successful and the committee has pledged to punish anyone who does not comply with the probe, the Justice Department must decide what comes next. Despite Democrats’ calls for action, Garland declined to say what the department would do during a separate House hearing Thursday, AP reported....

New Hull boss rejects Mourinho comparisons Former Manchester United coach Phelan was sacked last week following a row over investment in the club’s first-team squad during the January transfer window, having overseen just one league win since being appointed on a permanent basis in October. Hull City moved quickly to appoint relative unknown Marco Silva, who has impressed at Estoril and Sporting in his native Portugal before moving to Olympiacos, winning titles and a cup competition across all three positions....

The note was written by Japanese high schoolers in 1984 and cast adrift on the coast east of Tokyo, as part of a 750-bottle experiment. Abbie Graham, 9, stumbled across the partially buried treasure while walking with her family in Hawaiian Paradise Park. She spotted the mud-covered glass bottle, with a rusted cap, and convinced her parents, John and Angie Graham, that it might be important. “I thought it was trash, and she thought it was treasure,” John Graham told the Hawaiian Tribune-Herald....

Messi missed a penalty in his country’s opening 1-1 draw against Iceland in Group D and cut an increasingly forlorn figure as they unravelled to 3-0 defeat against Croatia last week. It means Argentina must beat Nigeria – they have done so four times previously at World Cups – to retain any hope of the Barcelona superstar embellishing his magnificent career with the sport’s greatest prize. “I think that match was complicated for Leo, the structure of the game didn’t favour him and he didn’t get a lot of balls from the midfield,” Sampaoli told a pre-match news conference at Krestovsky Stadium after being informed his star man enjoyed fewer touches of the ball than goalkeeper Willy Caballero....

The Catalans had reached the quarter-finals with a historic comeback at Camp Nou against PSG but their remarkable achievement had been undeniably aided by weak-willed opponents. No way back for Barca against Juve On that magical evening, Barca’s “remuntada”, the stuff of dreams, became reality but Juve were always going to prove a nightmare to play against - even for a side containing Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar....

The Barcelona forward missed Friday’s 2-0 win for the Albiceleste over Italy in Manchester after feeling discomfort in his hamstring and right adductor, but was expected to feature against La Roja in Madrid. Argentina boss Jorge Sampaoli told the media that his captain was fit and feeling good in Monday’s pre-match press conference, saying that the player would tell him if there was any problem. “There is no risk,” he said....

The new policy will provide more information on what data is collected in the app and how that data is used, the AP reported. The app is also elaborating further on how it safeguards data shared across borders and the legal basis for processing it, the company said. WhatsApp is owned by Meta Platforms, the rebranded name for Facebook. The messaging app was hit with the hefty $267 million fine in September for breaching strict EU transparency rules about sharing user data with other Meta companies....

On Wednesday, millions of people in Florida were braced for potentially life-threatening storm surges as Hurricane Ian strengthened into a Category 4 storm. It is just shy of Category 5, the most destructive classification. The hurricane has already battered Cuba, leaving the island nation largely without power as it charges toward Florida’s west coast at 155mph. “It is going to have major, major impacts in terms of wind, in terms of rain, in terms of flooding,” said Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a briefing on September 28....

The questions about Pete Alonso kept coming during his first MLB season, from February through September: “Will he get a real shot at making the Opening Day roster, or will the Mets manipulate his service time? No way he can keep mashing like this, right? How will he handle it when opponents adjust? Is he really an All-Star? No way he can beat Vladdy Jr. in the Home Run Derby, right?...

The defender is set to move on loan to Sevilla from Porto, the La Liga club announced Monday, pending a physical. Layun is one of the only outside backs Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio has called upon regularly but had seen his minutes dip at Porto. With Alex Telles and Ricardo Pereira holding down the left back and right-back spots, Layun earned just 303 league minutes in this campaign....

Residents in Nogales, Sonora erected temporary blockades along roadways leading to Arizona during the initial U.S. coronavirus outbreak in March, telling The Associated Press the Mexican government was doing nothing to medically screen people crossing the border from the United States. President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted his border wall construction efforts for helping the “lucky” residents of California, but Mexican officials said their concerns are about people crossing the border - legally - in the other direction....

Since May, Mexico has had an unconvincing stretch of matches during which they’ve been plagued by a lack of goal scoring. They have just one win in their last five outings — that came against Suriname in the CONCACAF Nations League — and it scored a grand total of one goal in the other four contests. Losses to Uruguay (3-0) and Paraguay (1-0), and a scoreless draw against Ecuador have fans worried about what could be in store at the 2022 World Cup, where they face Argentina, Poland and a tricky Saudi Arabia side....

Miguel Herrera’s team was surprisingly beaten to the top spot in Group C by Trinidad and Tobago but is a -130 favorite with CG Technology in Las Vegas to sail into the final four with a victory here. Yet to win a single game in the competition after drawing all three of their group games, Los Ticos are 4-to-1 underdogs to come out on top in this one. Alternatively, there are odds of +230 available on them taking the match into extra-time with yet another stalemate after 90 minutes....
