Mourinho faces tax probe call over Sunday Times claims

The Manchester United manager's agent said the allegations were "unfounded".
Public accounts committee chairwoman Meg Hillier told the Sunday Times the claims required "close examination".
HM Revenue and Customs said it would not comment on named individuals, but took "all allegations of tax evasion extremely seriously" and "always investigates allegations of fraud together with any intelligence provided".

Bitcoin Cash deals frozen as insider trading is probed

Image
One of the US's leading crypto-currency exchanges is carrying out an insider trading investigation. Coinbase fears its own workers may have exploited its move into Bitcoin Cash - a spin-off of the original Bitcoin. The San Francisco-based firm announced the move after Bitcoin Cash's price jumped. Coinbase began letting its users  buy, sell, send and receive Bitcoin Cash  on Tuesday in a surprise decision but has temporarily suspended trade.

Paul Pogba, Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale in team of the week

GK - Wojciech Szczesny (Juventus) Juve performed heroically for an hour with 10 men to win 2-0 at Valencia after Cristiano Ronaldo's red card. They may have had to suffer a few flutters near the end had Szczesny, who is making their No. 1 spot his own after Gianluigi Buffon's departure, not saved Daniel Parejo's late penalty -- ensuring a continuation of their superb away form was guaranteed. RB - Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) It said plenty that L'Equipe, the French newspaper whose player rating system is notoriously harsh, gave Alexander-Arnold eight out of 10 in their postmatch analysis. Nobody else on the Anfield pitch reached that level though you would think Alexander-Arnold will have more taxing assignments then facing a sluggish Neymar, who left all kinds of space for the 19-year-old to maraud into, but he took full advantage and the evidence is that Liverpool have a star on their hands. CB - Milos Degenek (Red Star Belgrade) Australia in...
