DEAR DEIDRE: MY sister has started dating my ex just months after our relationship ended. I don’t want to go to my family home now because he might be there.

I don’t want to see him or speak to my sister either.

I am 25 and my current boyfriend agrees with me that my ex and younger sister have no class.

She is only 19 and my ex is 28.

I split up with my ex six months ago because he was always messing me about.

We were together for two years and I have since moved on. My ex is not a patch on my new boyfriend.

Maddeningly, nobody else in our family sees an issue with this. Even my mum has blessed their relationship and sees no issue with the age gap.

I am appalled that they can welcome my ex into their home as if nothing has happened.

The whole situation has made me feel ill at ease and I’m very unsettled by it.

DEIDRE SAYS: I understand your concerns. Age-gap relationships can work but your sister is at a completely different life stage to your ex.

Also, while the law considers your sister an adult, the reality is she has a lot less life experience than your ex too.

My support pack Age Gaps – Do They Really Matter? explains more.

Unfortunately, there is little you can do if everyone else has accepted their relationship, except for focusing on your own life, which will give you less opportunity to be upset by this.

RUBEN AMORIM launched a  scathing attack on Marcus Rashford by claiming he would rather name his goalkeeping coach as a Manchester United sub.

Rashford was again left out of Amorim’s squad for last night’s win at Fulham, courtesy of Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike.

The boss blasted Rashford’s lack of effort in training and said 63-year-old Jorge Vital would offer him more than the forward.

Asked directly about Rashford’s absence, Amorim said: “I’d put Vital on the bench before a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day. I’ll not change in that department.

“It’s always the same reason. The reason is the training. The way that I see what a footballer should do in training,  in life, every day.  If things don’t change, I will not change.

“Same situation for every player — if you do the maximum, if you do the right things, we can use every player.

“You can see it today  on the bench. We needed  pace to change the game, to move some pieces — but I prefer it like that.”

Rashford has been a loan target for Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and AC Milan, although he would prefer a move to cash-strapped Barcelona.

He has not played for Amorim since a 2-1 win at Viktoria Plzen on December 12 and has not been in a squad since a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on December 30.

Rashford posted on Instagram after Sunday’s win, saying: “Congratulations on the win lads.”

Martinez got a deflected 78th-minute winner — lifting United up to 12th.

But fans turned on co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who was sat in the stands at Craven Cottage by chanting: “Just like the Glazers, Jim Ratcliffe’s a c****”.

Ratcliffe has raised Old Trafford ticket prices for members to £66 in December — including kids and OAPs — and said it did not make sense for Fulham to be charging more than United.

Incredibly, Fulham charged up to £150 for tickets yesterday — with dozens of Red Devils fans celebrating Martinez’s goal in home sections.

Ratcliffe has been trying to generate more revenue while United battle to stay in line with Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Asked about transfer plans after last night’s win, boss Ruben Amorim admitted he needs “a lot of help to improve”.

But he said: “We have to be cautious. We have to follow the rules and we have done mistakes in the past we can not do now, we have to focus on the team. We need to focus on the players that we have.

“We lack some pace and power up front. We need to create more chances, we struggle a lot in these details, but we need a lot of help to improve.”

“Not a great game, no great chances. We tried to control our game and play our game but we need to improve a lot.”

Fulham chief Marco Silva said: “It was cruel for us — their first shot was in the 78th minute. It was a really lucky goal. The result was unfair.”

TERRIFIED gardai had to flee from a man in a dressing gown who was wielding a samurai sword.

The incident took place in Blanchardstown, west Dublin on Thursday morning as cops were called to a property in the area.

Footage circulating on social media yesterday showed a Garda vehicle seen in the car park of an accommodation complex.

Two cops are then seen rushing back to the patrol car and jumping in as a man sprints up with a sword and smashes it against the car.

Another man and a cat flee the confrontation as the attacker, who is wearing a patterned dressing gown, yells at the cops.

As the gardai pull away, he begins to walk back inside but returns and hits the car a second time with the sword.

He screams: “I told ye. Move. Move. Move. Move. I told ye. Sick, sick in the head, no medication, I told ye.”

The clip, from Thursday at around 9am, ends as the sword nut walks away from the vehicle, which is still reversing.

It is understood the man is known to Gardai and is wanted in Northern Ireland.

He is now thought to be on the run, but officials believe there is no immediate threat to public safety.

The Garda Press Office was asked for comment and confirmed that officers are following a definite line of enquiry.

A garda spokesperson said: “Gardai responded to a call for assistance at a domestic residence in Castaheany, Dublin 15 at approximately 9:00am on Thursday morning, 23rd January 2025.

“On arrival of Gardai, a male was observed in possession of an offensive weapon.

“Due to the aggressive nature of the male, Gardai took cover in an official patrol vehicle, while assistance was requested from the Divisional Armed Support Unit (ASU).

“A short time later ASU attended the scene, at which point the male had left the area.

“An Garda Siochana is following a definite line of enquiry.

“Investigations are ongoing.”
