Tom Heaton haunted Manchester United

Heaton came up in the Manchester United academy and, at one point, looked like he could be the Red Devils' future backstop. But that never happened and he wanted a chance to play regularly. Eventually, he landed at Burnley and on Saturday, he got a crack at the Red Devils. To say he took advantage of his chance to show United what they lost is an understatement. Heaton was beyond terrific and his save on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's scissor kick was one of the best you will see. Manchester United have David De Gea, so they're happy with their goalkeeper, but Heaton must have been happy to single-handedly deny the Red Devils a win.

The "bestial" murder of two young women in Morocco is being investigated as a terrorism attack, Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said. Three men were arrested on Thursday over the murder of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway. The pair were found dead from knife wounds near a popular tourist spot on Monday. At least one of the suspects has been linked to an Islamist extremist group. One person had already been arrested on Monday, hours after the bodies of the two women were discovered with injuries to their necks. Police also supplied photos of the three other suspects, prompting a 72-hour manhunt. Moroccan news outlet 2M said they were shepherds, and had been arrested in the city of Marrakesh on Thursday morning.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho backed by Real Madrid legend Ronaldo

Image
Ronaldo has backed Jose Mourinho to turn things around at Manchester United, although he believes the Champions League will be staying at Real Madrid this year. Mourinho is under pressure after United started the Premier League season with one win and two defeats, including a 3-0 loss at home to Tottenham on Monday. He takes United to Burnley on Sunday with his future hanging in the balance, but Ronaldo believes a knee-jerk reaction would be wrong. "I don't know what's happening in Manchester, but wait before criticising Mou -- he's special and he's won a lot," he told Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport. United have been drawn against Juventus, Valencia and Young Boys in the Champions League, with Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo facing their respective former clubs. "[Juventus] are a really strong side," Ronaldo said. "They've reached the final twice recently and Ronaldo is going to strengthen them, but the Champions Leag...
