JOSE EXPECTS HIS UNITED SQUAD TO EVOLVE

Jose Mourinho expects some of the younger members of his Manchester United squad to get a chance to earn regular places next season.
The boss was asked after Saturday's FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham if he expected a lot of investment this summer to enhance his squad. Although admitting he would need to strengthen in midfield, Jose was keen to stress he expects existing players to develop.
Scott McTominay has been introduced from the Under-23s this season and taken his chances when being trusted in some big matches. Several promising youngsters are out on loan and could return to fight for a place, while there are others showing real potential within the system.
"We are going to invest the basic to improve our squad," explained the United manager. "There is always in the group of players, in the squad, there is always a player or a couple of players who are not playing a lot, and they will obviously try to leave, so we are going again to touch [tweak] our squad and to believe that more than [a case of] spend, spend, spend, is probably the evolution of our players.
"We have some young players that need to get, with both hands, opportunities with their evolution, so let's see."
The pre-season Tour 2018, presented by Aon, should offer some clues as to the planning for 2018/19, with some players unavailable due to their World Cup involvement.

Sanders, for his part, did his best to hold his ground, justifying his criticism of the President and presenting himself as a change agent while pointing out Clinton’s own differences with Obama. Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
