Manchester United youngster Charlie Savage has completed a medical at Forest Green ahead of a move on loan for the rest of the season. Savage signed a new contract at Manchester United last year, keeping him at the club until 2025. Savage made his first-team debut for the club in the Champions League just a few months before signing a new deal so he’s clearly a highly-rated youngster. Due to his age, Savage is going to struggle to break into the first-team squad on a regular basis at the moment, especially with Erik ten Hag’s side performing exceptionally. Now, Fabrizio…

Most of us know someone who is a bit of a mummy’s boy. But scientists have discovered a 2,300-year-old teenager who takes the crown – after being buried with 49 precious amulets. Researchers from Cairo University used CT scans to ‘digitally unwrap’ a mummy who had been discovered more than 100 years ago in a cemetery in Nag el-Hassay in southern Egypt. They found dozens of different amulets, many of which were made of gold, had been carefully placed on or inside the body. The ‘Golden boy’ mummy had been laid inside two coffins – an outer coffin with Greek inscription…
A mysterious handprint carved into an ancient dry moat that once surrounded Jerusalem’s Old City 1,000 years ago has been uncovered – and its meaning has baffled researchers. Archaeologists spotted the imprint while excavating around an infrastructure project to expand a road near Herod’s Gate, which initially uncovered part of the moat. While the function of the moat is clear, it stopped crusaders from invading the holy city, the carved hand remains a mystery. ‘Does it symbolize something? Does it point to a specific nearby element? Or is it just a local prank? Time may tell,’ said the researchers. Israeli archaeologists…

Following his triumphant win at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni discussed the impact of his star player Lionel Messi, and how Argentina’s all-time leading scorer impacted his teammates.

NOTTINGHAM, England, Jan 25 (Reuters) – Marcus Rashford continued his fine season as he scored again to help Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in their League Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday.

Only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has more for a Premier League club in 2022-23. Forest thought they had quickly restored parity at the City Ground after catching United out on the counter but Sam Surridge’s effort was ruled out for offside following…

The most volcanic place in the solar system. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/ASI/INAF/JIRAM) NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured an infrared image of Jupiter’s moon Io from 50,000 miles (80,000 kilometers) away. In the image, taken on July 5 and released on Wednesday, you can see the shapes of lava flows and lava lakes as bright red spots. “You can see volcanic hotspots. We’ve been able to monitor over the course of the primary mission – over 30 orbits – how this changes and evolves,” Scott Bolton, principal investigator for NASA’s Juno spacecraft, said in a press event at the American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting on Wednesday. NASA’s Juno mission captured an infrared…
