Man Utd should give Paul Pogba THIRD chance – he’s better than anything else they’ve got, claims Treble winner

MANCHESTER United should give Paul Pogba a THIRD chance because he’s still better than any of their current midfielders, claims Old Trafford legend Dwight Yorke.

And Treble-winning hero Yorke reckons United are not safe yet from relegation and need all the help they can get.

Pogba, 31, is available on a free transfer after serving a doping ban and Yorke believes United should take a punt on the former France international.

Yorke said: “I would give Paul Pogba a third chance, definitely, because of what United currently have and because of what we know he is capable of producing.

“United have struggled, and Pogba is a damn good player.

“Even though he’s 31, I think he’s far better than what we have now. And if you’re going to get a player for free, who’s far better than all our players in midfield, then you do it.

“With two months left, I would say, ‘Let’s have a look’. Give him a contract.

“You’ve got time here to prove yourself. You can come and play and help us out with the situation.

“I’m sure Pogba would be very keen. Maybe he might want a long-term deal because of the security.”

United’s penny-pinching bosses would balk at a mega-money deal for former Old Trafford star Pogba, who twice left Old Trafford on a free transfer to Juventus..

But beleaguered boss Ruben Amorim is floundering after a comeback draw at Everton left his team deep in the bottom half of the table.

Yorke is refusing to rule out United being relegated and delivered a withering verdict on Amorim and his underperforming players in an interview with casinobeats.com.

And the former Trinidad and Tobago international contrasted Amorim’s struggles since arriving at Old Trafford in November with the immediate impact that former United boss David Moyes made on his return to Everton.

Man Utd ratings vs Everton

MANCHESTER UNITED fought back from two goals down to draw against Everton at Goodison Park

The Red Devils were slammed as “embarrassing” by Rio Ferdinand after failing 2-0 down in the first half.

But they fought back late on thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes free-kick and volley from Manuel Ugarte, who bagged his first goal since his summer arrival from PSG.

Amorim’s men were then lucky to escape a penalty in the final moments after VAR overturned the decision.

SunSport’s Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Manchester United team…

Andre Onana – 7

United needed him with his game-head on, and his 93rd-minute stop saved a point.

Noussair Mazraoui 69′ – 4

Looked seriously uncomfortable on the right side of the back three – forced there because of a defensive injury crisis

Harry Maguire – 4

Out-jumped by Doucoure as the midfielder grabbed Everton’s second and was generally all over the place.

Matthijs de Ligt – 4

Nowhere for Beto’s opener, completely missing attempted clearance and got away with a 93rd-minute penalty call.

Diogo Dalot – 5

At least shows willing. Which is more than could be said for some of his team mates at Goodison.

Manuel Ugarte – 7

Spent most of the game stranded in United’s midfield morass but salvation came with a brilliant strike.

Casemiro 62′ – 2

The Brazilian is beginning to look like the world’s oldest 32-year-old —he’s become a genuine irrelevance.

Patrick Dorgu – 6

Made a determined start down the left flank but that enthusiasm was slowly but surely sucked out of him.

Bruno Fernandes – 8

His free kick was genuine class and once he was dropped deeper started controlling the game.

Joshua Zirkzee – 4

At £36.5M you would expect an element of ball control but the Dutchman used as a joint No 10 just looks lost.

Rasmus Hojlund 69′ – 3

Not so much a desperate Dane, more a despairing one although it would help if he had some support.

Subs:

Alejandro Garnacho 62′ – 7

Injected some desperately needed pace and passion. 

Leny Yoro 69′ – 6

Should have been on much earlier.

Chido Obi-Martin 69′ – 5

The 17-year-old has a presence for sure.

Yorke said: “We’re in 15th place. People still think that we are safe. I am not so sure.

“There’s still a long way. And the more games you are losing, the harder it gets.

“Amorim is in a difficult place right now. He needs to find a way out.

“I do believe that despite the challenges of where United are, as a manager, you’ve got to stabilize the club.

“How could David Moyes go to a team that was struggling more than United and suddenly turn that around?

“Moyes has done well at Everton but certainly we’ve got better players at United. Somehow, he’s managed to turn it around while we continue to struggle.”

“I’m not saying that Amorim’s not a good manager. We’re not asking you to beat Liverpool, we’re not asking you to beat Arsenal.

“All we’re saying is, just win some football matches against teams that you should be beating.

“And if you’re not going to win against the big boys, and you’re not going to start winning against the small boys, when are you going to start?”

Very affordable beach city just four hours from the UK named top trending destination for 2025

A SEASIDE city near the UK has been named a top destination for 2025 by British Airways.

As part of their 2025 Travel Trends Report, searches for holidays to Agadir in Morocco boomed last month.

Compared to searches in January 2024, searches last month for the Moroccan city were up 308 per cent.

This beat a number of other European destinations such as as Crete (up 44 per cent) and Gibraltar (up 17 per cent).

Even places like Abu Dhabi (up 95 per cent) and Koh Samui (up 38 per cent) were not trending as highly as Agadir.

Andrew Flintham, Managing Director of British Airways Holidays, said: “Our third annual report provides some impressive insight on how UK consumers are looking to travel.

“Not only are they looking for new ways to optimise their time away, but there is a clear trend in travellers embracing traditional holiday elements with the likes of all-inclusive.”

It’s not just British Airways who fly to Agadir.

TUI is launching new flights to Agadir from Newcastle this summer while Jet2 has launched new flights from Bournemouth to Agadir.

But most airlines fly to the city, including Wizz Air from London Gatwick and Ryanair from London Stansted, Manchester and Birmingham.

Meryem Bennouna, the Moroccan National Tourist Office’s UK director, told TTG last year: “It’s a huge amount of new flights and they are also from different UK cities, including Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle.

“We’re in a very good place and super excited about the UK market – it’s increased exceptionally in comparison to last year and it’s very unique what’s going on.

“Tourism is going increase even more and in the UK market, in particular, we’re still very far from reaching its full potential.”

When it comes to Agadir, the city is just under four hours from the UK.

As Morocco‘s largest seaside resort, it has huge stretches of beaches with some popular with surfers.

Along with 300 days of sunshine, you can expect high temperatures even in winter, reaching highs of 25C.

It is affordable too – a study by Which? last year found Agadir to be one of the cheapest for package holidays.

Popular attractions include Souk El Had, one of the largest markets in Africa, as well as the many hammans in the city for an authentic Moroccan spa experience.

Seven night, all-inclusive breaks were on sale for as little as £300 at four-star resorts.

Otherwise the cheapest flights are with Ryanair, starting from £19.99, or Loveholidays have an all-inclusive week-long break from £299.

What is it like to stay in Agadir?

The Sun’s Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey recently visited Agadir.

Rebuilt following a devastating earthquake in 1960, the sprawling city nestles against the Atlantic Ocean and its palm-lined wide roads feel more Miami than Morocco.

No wonder the South African country looks set to be a holiday hotspot as Brits look past Spain next year.

I’m staying in Taghazout, a surf town with an ever-growing number of modern beach-side resorts, just 13 miles north of Agadir and its sizzling souk.

One of the newest resorts is the five-star adults-only Pickalbatros White Beach, which features pristine white marble steps, manicured gardens and a huge airy lobby offering views of the beach through giant glass windows.

It’s affordable luxury at its finest, and the perfect place for a last-minute holiday with my closest gal pal.

If you fancy some other parts of Morocco, here is everything you need to know about the coastal city of Essaouira.

Or here is Taroudant which is often dubbed Little Marrakesh.

I was on Countdown and got a nasty shock on the Channel 4 set – keyboard warriors have no idea what it’s really like

COUNTDOWN star revealed the brutal reality behind the Channel 4 set – and keyboard warriors have no clue.

A former Countdown contestant opened up about the shocking truth of filming on Channel 4’s iconic show.

They reveal the harshness of online trolls and the real-life challenges they never see behind the scenes.

The participant appeared on the game show back in 2023, which was hosted by Colin Murray.

They revealed that the infamous ticking Countdown clock drove them to the edge.

With its loud tick-tock and the theme tune blasting as pressure mounted, it was a real nerve-wrecker for contestants trying to solve the puzzle.

Taking to a forum on Digital Spy, the former contestant wrote: “I can say from my trivial time on the show last year that it’s much easier when you’re sat at home, pausing as you please; much more relaxing than being in the studio, faced with cameras and feeling the pressure of the clock booming in each round (it’s not edited in, it plays whilst you’re there which caught me off guard a little when I was on). 

“With that in mind, it’s easy to make mistakes, but submitting words such as ‘STROL’ and ‘SCON’ is quite something.”

The Sun previously spoke to former contestant Gary Woodward, who has appeared on Countdown nine times, and a TV source.

He unveiled surprising details about the Channel 4 hit – including how the camera crews would sneakily cover up mistakes.

Gary said: “When they don’t like a bit of recording they do it again to overlay that section during the edit.

This can be because the audio quality wasn’t perfect, if a presenter sneezed or made a mistake or cameras missed a cut.

“It’s easy to spot when they do this on Countdown.

“If the cameras cut back to the contestant while they are choosing a vowel or consonant, it’s normally because they have used a cover shot.”

Contestants have to been reshot too – especially if they pick a rude word.

A former audience member, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Sun: “There were a couple of retakes and the funniest one was when a guy said ‘pisser’ in the anagrams round.

Countdown hosts over the years

Since launching in 1982, Channel 4 game show Countdown has become a staple of daytime telly. There have been several presenters throughout the show's long history. Let's take a look back at who has hosted the iconic show.

  • Richard Whiteley (1982-2005): The original and longest-serving host, Richard helmed the programme for 23 years. As Countdown was the launch programme for Channel 4, the presenter and journalist was the first person to be seen on the channel. He died in 2005 at the age of 61.
  • Des Lynam (2005-2006): Originally from County Clare in Ireland, Des took over from Richard Whiteley after his death. He is known for hosting TV coverage of several sporting events including Wimbledon and the Grand National. He left the show after less than 18 months.
  • Des O’Connor (2007-2008): Another Des was next up, in the form of comedian and presenter Des O’Connor. The long-time TV chat show host was known for The Des O’Connor Show and Take Your Pick. He left Countdown to focus on entertainment projects. Des O’Connor died in 2020, aged 88.
  • Jeff Stelling (2009-2011): Known for his work presenting Gillette Soccer Saturday, Jeff became the fourth host of Countdown. He had reportedly previously been in consideration to replace Richard Whiteley. He left after three years to focus on football coverage.
  • Nick Hewer (2012-2021): Former public relations consultant Nick was one of Lord Sugar’s advisors for 10 years on The Apprentice. He became the new host of Countdown in 2012, appearing on both shows for two years. He ultimately left Countdown after nine years.
  • Anne Robinson (2021-2022): Best known as the original host of The Weakest Link, in 2021 Anne became the first female Countdown presenter. She left the programme a year later, having recorded 265 episodes.
  • Colin Murray (2022-present): Before being named the permanent Countdown host, Colin Murray had been appearing on a guest basis since 2020. He returned to the show following Anne Robinson’s departure.

“It was a great six-letter word but they couldn’t use it. I think it’s because they feared getting complaints.

“He still got the points but right at the end of filming they recorded him saying a more palatable six-letter word instead.”

Countdown viewers were shocked earlier this week as maths genius Dr. Tom Crawford stepped in for Rachel Riley.

Known for his mind-blowing math skills and viral YouTube videos, the Cambridge and Oxford boffin took a break from the camera to show off his intellect in a whole new way on the iconic show.

Countdown airs weekdays on Channel 4 at 2:10pm or stream on channel4.com.

Adam Thomas begs ‘take my pain away please’ in emotional rant – saying ‘f*** this disease’

ADAM Thomas has opened up about his ongoing battle with rheumatoid arthritis in an emotional Instagram post, begging, “Take my pain away please.”

Waterloo Road star Adam, 36, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2023, shared a candid update with his followers while receiving LED treatment.

In the heartfelt message, Adam admitted that the disease has taken a toll on both his body and mind, making it difficult to maintain a consistent exercise routine.

He wrote: “This disease really does f**k with your head, especially when your trying to shift Some weight and get Into a routine of exercise! Constant battle constant set backs!!

“Just take my pain away please!! I’ve suffered enough now! Am really trying to hold myself together but it’s not easy!

“Just one of those days … keep fighting people… on the days where we can’t train … we have to take care of ourselves x self care and recovery.”

Earlier this month, Adam opened up about his agonising battle on Good Morning Britain, revealing the autoimmune disease has left him in daily pain for the past two and a half years.

During the interview, host Susanna Reid expressed her shock that someone as young as Adam could be suffering from arthritis, a condition typically associated with older age.

Adam shot to fame on Emmerdale in 2009, but now plays a P.E. teacher on Waterloo Road.

While chatting to Adam on the GMB sofa, Susanna explained: “We’re laughing about the fact that you would be a P.E. teacher but it actually impedes your movement, doesn’t it?”

Adam replied. “Yes definitely and yes I’ve been struggling with this autoimmune disease now for about two and a half years.

“It’s been tough. I’m not over-exaggerating when I say this but literally within two and a half years, every day I’ve been in pain.

“It’s difficult but now I feel like I’ve found – because I’ve been on so many different meds and trying so many different things, back and forth from doctor’s and hospitals.”

Adam revealed he is trying out a new “carnivore diet” and says it has helped.

He said: “I’ve noticed a huge difference, especially within the past couple of weeks.

“It’s given me a little bit of hope now.

“I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m feeling the best way I’ve felt for a while.”

He continued: “I feel like the inflammation is going down a little bit and I’m getting my life back which is the most important thing.”

He also said he believes he may have inherited the condtion from his late dad, but they never spoke about it.

Adam recently screamed in pain as he filmed himself injecting his treatment.

He said last October: “The pain is pretty unbearable at the moment, it’s as if my whole body is seizing up!!

What are the symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis?

Pain – Patients could suffer with a throbbing and aching pain in their joints. According to the NHS, it may often feel worse in the mornings or after a period of inactivity.

Stiffness – Joints affected by the condition can feel stiff and inflexible. For example, you may not be able to fully bend fingers or form a fist in an affected hand.

Swelling, warmth and redness – Joint linings are also affected by rheumatoid arthritis and they could become inflamed. Joints could then swell, and become hot or tender to touch.

Other symptoms: These can often include tiredness, lack of energy, a high temperature, sweating, a poor appetite and weight loss

“The pain was bad before, but it’s a lot worse now… how why???”

Addressing his treatment, he added “Now I wish I never came off the methotrexate because I would take that pain to this every day of the week!!

“I’ve just started my new medication today which takes 12 weeks to take effect and even then it might not work so am not too sure what I can do to ease the pain until then??

“I’ve had my steroid injections and it literally lasted a week.”

And, last year, he was left “in tears” after updated medication left him “wiped out”.

The TV star then told how his son was playing a part in looking after him.
