Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, on Tuesday, made a joke about the 115 charges levelled at Manchester City while discussing Mohamed Salah’s future.

Salah is into the final six months of his current contract with the Reds.

After scoring and assisting in their 2-0 victory over City on Sunday, the 32-year-old admitted that it was likely to be his final match against Pep Guardiola’s side at Anfield.

Slot was asked about the comments ahead of their trip to Newcastle United.

The Dutchman replied: “Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 accusations, so he expects them not to be in the Premier League next season.”

But Slot quickly added: “It was a joke – I repeat, it was a joke!”

City remain locked in a legal battle with the Premier League over their 115 alleged financial breaches, all of which they deny.

The case is unlikely to reach a conclusion until late 2025 if any appeals are launched against the final verdict.

There are four rounds of matches left in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Chelle admitted that the Super Eagles are condemned to win all their remaining matches.

“It’s an obligation we win in South Africa, but the most important match for us right now is Rwanda in Uyo,” Eric Chelle told SCORENigeria

“South Africa are a good side, but for that game we cannot afford to allow them play.

“But first we have to beat Rwanda at home and then we will focus on the game in South Africa.”

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has declared that Marcus Rashford is not one of his current players.

Amorim made this known at his pre-match press conference ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

Daily Sun reported that Rashford fell out of favour with Amorim at Manchester United.

The England international eventually left Man United to join Premier League side Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the season.

Rashford has been doing well at Aston Villa so far, scoring a brace in their FA Cup 3-0 win against Preston on Sunday.

Asked about Rashford ahead of Man United’s clash with Nottingham Forest, Amorim was quoted by Fabrizio Romano as saying: “I am focused on my team and my players. Rashford is not my player at the moment.

“But of course I am happy when our players are playing well on loan.”
