Man Utd fans can’t believe who Ruben Amorim has playing up front after boss unleashed bold new tactic for Crystal Palace
RUBEN AMORIM stunned everyone with his choice of striker against Crystal Palace.
The Manchester United manager named both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund on the bench at Old Trafford.
And instead he opted to start Kobbie Mainoo as the No9 leading the line.
Mainoo, 19, usually plays in the heart of midfield.
But Amorim shook things up with his surprise new position to face the Eagles.
Mainoo was spotted warming up with the forwards before kick-off in the Premier League clash.
And lo and behold, when the match got underway, he was the man furthest forward for the Red Devils – albeit in a slightly false No9 position.
Mainoo was the centre forward in the Amorim 3-4-3 system with Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho either side.

Emotional tributes to ‘brother and sister’ killed in horror ‘hit-and-run’ as heartbreaking notes left at scene
TEARFUL tributes have been paid to two children who were killed in a suspected hit-and-run.
The boy and girl, believed to be siblings, died at the scene in Pitsea, Essex, around 6.30pm on Saturday.
Mourners left dozens of flowers and cards at the roadside today next to a football training top.
One message read: “I’m so sorry that you both have been taken away far too young.
“My thoughts and prayers are with everything that had the joy to know you both, especially your family.”
A man and woman arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision remain in custody.
Detectives were seen carrying out door-to-door enquiries while appealing for CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage of the fatal crash.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper, of Essex Police, said: “My thoughts are with the friends and family of the girl and boy who have died.
“Specialist officers are supporting them at this truly unimaginably difficult time.
“Our officers will be carrying out inquiries in the area this evening to establish the circumstances which led up to the collision so if you saw anything or have any information please get in contact.”

But he had the field strung out by this point and that colossal engine he has kicked into overdrive approaching the last.
Kopek Des Bordes left everything trailing in his wake to score by 13 lengths from Karniquet.
The huge question now is whether Mullins keeps Kopek Des Bordes at 2m or steps him up in trip for the Turner’s Novices’ Hurdle, for which he is as short as 2-1.

I bought Homes Under the Hammer’s tiniest house – I drank wine as I bid with seconds to go without even seeing it
A WOMAN who snapped up what might be Homes Under the Hammer’s tiniest house has revealed she placed her bid just seconds before the auction closed – without even stepping foot inside the property.
Carol bagged the minuscule home in Pontycymer, South Wales, for £43,500 – significantly above the £27,000 guide price – in what she describes as a ‘moment of madness.’
She told presenter Martin Roberts: “It was a spontaneous buy – one minute and eight seconds before the auction finished. I didn’t really read the auction pack either.”
Carol admitted that while she skimmed the legal pack enough to confirm the property was freehold and check for flood risks, she didn’t investigate further before committing to the deal.
Instead, she was enjoying a relaxed evening at home when the final seconds of the online auction ticked down.
“I did read those two little things and then I pressed the buy button,” she said. “I hadn’t been to see it or anything, but we all have moments of madness. I thought I’d see what happens, and here we are!”
The home’s proportions shocked the Malvern postie when she finally visited in person.
“I did a drive-by after the auction and I was thinking, ‘Where is the rest of it?’” she laughed.
“I opened the door and I was like, wow, there is no more, this is it. I think the school Wendy house was somewhat bigger than this.”
The property, which had previously been a commercial unit, consisted of a single upstairs room with a narrow staircase leading to a damp-ridden lower ground floor.
Some work had been started to add a shower room and bedroom, but much of it was incomplete.
Even Martin, who has seen his fair share of bizarre properties in his two decades on the show, was left gobsmacked.
“You are having a laugh, wow, blink and you’ll miss it!” he said, dubbing it a ‘doll’s house’ and declaring it likely the smallest property ever featured on Homes Under the Hammer.
Despite its size, Carol and her partner Steve – an electrician – set about tackling the renovation with an initial budget of £10,000.
But as many DIY enthusiasts will know, things rarely go according to plan.
The couple ended up spending nearly twice that amount, ultimately pouring £63,000 into the project.
Fifteen months later, the transformation was complete.
The damp issues were sorted with new guttering, a cleverly redesigned staircase created extra space, and the entire home was given a modern makeover.
Who presents Homes Under The Hammer?
Current
- Martin Roberts (2003 – present)
- Dion Dublin (2015 – present)
- Martel Maxwell (2017 – present)
- Jacqui Joseph (2021 – present)
- Owain Wyn Evans (2024 – present)
Past
- Lucy Alexander (2003 – 2018)
- Jasmine Birtles (2005)
- Marc Woodward (2005)
- Tommy Walsh (2021 – 2024)
A compact kitchen, fresh flooring, and a stylish shower room made the most of the small footprint, and Steve even managed to squeeze in an outdoor storage shed.
One unexpected hurdle was the need for a sprinkler system, as the property’s conversion from commercial to residential meant it was classified as a ‘new build’.
When an estate agent returned to assess the finished property, they estimated a resale value of around £60,000 – meaning Carol and Steve would take a loss if they sold up.
However, the couple had already secured a tenant keen to move in, ensuring a steady rental income.
Steve admitted: “We’ve done three properties over the last three years, and the others are somewhat bigger than this. But this one has been more headaches than the other two put together!”
Despite the challenges, Carol has no regrets about her whirlwind purchase.
“You can’t put a price on the fun we’ve had!” she said.
Gardai issue major warning to drivers after ‘epic fail’ leaves motorist heading to court
GARDAI has issued an urgent warning to all Irish motorists after a driver was caught speeding while under the influencer of alcohol.
A driver was caught speeding at 166kmh in a 100kmh zone on the M50 by the DMR Road Policing Units last night.
The motorists failed a roadside breath test and blew over the legal alcohol limit at the station.
A spokesperson on X revealed that court proceedings are underway.
They said: “Epic Fail! Motorist caught speeding at 166km/h in a 100km/h zone on the M50 by our DMR Roads Policing Units late last night.
“They failed a roadside breath test and blew over the legal alcohol limit at the station. Court proceedings are underway.”
The current drinking-driving limit is a BAC of 50mg, which means that 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
For professional, learner and novice drivers, the limit is a BAC of 20mg.
Most people will have a BAC of 20 to 50mg after one standard drink, which is a pub measure of spirits, a small glass of wine, a half pint of regular beer and an alcopop.
It takes most people 1 to 2 hours to process 1 standard drink. That means after 3 standard drinks, you should wait at least 3 hours before driving.
Gardai urges people not to drive after drinking an alcoholic drink as it affects their reaction times, coordination, concentration, judgement and vision on the road.
They highly encourage people to have a designated driver and find out about public transport options before going out or having the budget for a taxi.
And they urge that you have a backup plan for getting home, such as a friend or parent you can call if you are stuck.
Another option is to arrange a place to stay overnight in the area and drive on the road in the morning once the alcohol content passes through.
BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND ROAD OPERATIONS
This comes after Gardai have been carrying out the road operation nationwide since 7am on Thursday as part of the St Brigid’s Day Bank Holiday weekend roads policing operation.
Throughout the operation, Gardai are conducting both statutory Mandatory Intoxicant Testing and regular, high-visibility policing checkpoints from Thursday to Tuesday.
Since the operation commenced on Thursday morning, nearly 580 drivers were detected for speeding offences during the first 48 hours.
A total of 63 people have been arrested for driving under the influence of an intoxicant, which is alcohol and drugs.
There were three fatalities on the roads during the first 48 hours of the operation, bringing the total number to 14 fatal deaths this year.
Gardai revealed that most road motorists were travelling within the designated speed, but four drivers were detected to be driving dangerously.
One of the motorists was detected driving 139km/h in a 100km/h zone on the N4 at Cullen Beg in Mullingar, Co Westmeath.
Another driver was caught speeding 116km/h in a 80km/h zone on the N55 at Lissoy in Glasson, Co Westmeath.
One was detected driving 106km/h in a 60km/h zone on the R702 at Ballyellin and Tomdarragh in Goresbridge, Co Carlow.
And another was spotted speeding 86km/h in a 50km/h zone on the R661 at Holycross in Co Tipperary.
Despite the figures being reduced, there is a low number of motorists using the roads as communities continue to deal with the effects of Storm Eowyn.
House proud Brits racing to Wickes for boxes of wall tiles slashed to 1p – one lucky shopper nabbed trendy sage green
ADDING some tiling to your bathroom or kitchen is a quick way to give the space a touch of glam.
But it can be pricey if you’re after the latest in-trend colours and styles, with costs adding up quickly.
One lucky shopper on a mission to secure some tiles spotted an absolute bargain in her local branch of Wickes, and posted her find to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
Sina Jagpal shared her haul with the group’s 2.6 million members, who share deals, offers and money-saving tips with each other.
Sina wrote: “I got these for 1p for each box so a whopping 2p.
“Originally £21 a pack of tiles but they are scanning at 1p in Wickes apparently due to the line changing!
“Even the man at the till called a manager as he said he didn’t think it was right but it was!
“My lucky day hey!”
Sina added a pic of her bargains, two boxes of gorgeous sage green Cosmopolitan style wall tiles.
The Wickes website describes the tiles as “a timeless small format range of ceramic tiles in a stunning gloss finish.”
The tiles can be placed in line, in a herringbone effect or brick bond, meaning there’s loads of different patterns and designs you can use them for.
And they’re perfect for modernising an old room.
The Wickes website even recommends using coloured grout to make the colour of the tiles pop.
The glossy tiles are easy to wipe clean, making them easy to keep looking fresh.
They’re also water resistant, so they are perfect for washrooms and kitchens.
On the Wickes website, happy customers have given the tiles an incredible 4.8 star rating.
Other members of the Facebook bargain-hunting group couldn’t believe Sina’s luck.
One person said: “Well done you right place right time.”
Another person chimed in: “Omg amazing!”
And somebody else said: “Well done.”
