Scott McTominay has earned the faith of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

0

Scott McTominay has become the most trusted midfielder in the team for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Norweigan youngster has shown his impact against Leeds United last weekend. McTominay scored a brace within the first 3 minutes of the game and provided an assist to Daniel James. He was the ‘Man of the Match in that game.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has kept his faith in the midfield duo of Scott McTominay and Fred in some important matches. McTominay is one of the fan’s favorites for his dedication towards the club.

McTominay made his debut for Manchester United in 2017 under Jose Mourinho. He is now just 24-years old. He has already played 101 games for the club and scored 10 goals.

Earlier in an interview with The Times Scott McTominay thanked Mourinho to give him the breakthrough. He said, “Jose was amazing for me. You’re liked by what you do on the pitch and how you are off the pitch and I feel Mourinho saw something in me at a time some people did and some people didn’t, and I’m grateful.”

After the match against Leeds last weekend, he said to Skysports, “You just go on the pitch and do your job, you don’t want to get too carried away.”

“Last season we weren’t approaching games in the right frame of mind, but this time we are. We’re getting used to scoring goals at home, it’s so important.”

“The confidence grows and everyone gets that boost of energy. The athleticism we showed today was second to none.”

“We don’t look at the table, there’s no time for looking. We have to take every game one by one.”

As Paul Pogba is uncertain at Manchester United from next season, McTominay can take his place in the squad.

The FIFA council on Thursday announced that they have decided to cancel the 2021 edition of Men’s U17 and U20 World Cup.

The Council of FIFA also announced that the hosting rights for the U17 World Cup and U20 World Cup 2023 edition are given to Peru and Indonesia respectively.

“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges for the hosting of international sporting events and to have a restrictive effect on international travel. FIFA has therefore regularly consulted the relevant stakeholders, including the host member associations as well as the confederations involved in both tournaments originally scheduled to take place in 2021,” said the governing body of football in a statement.

“In doing so, it became clear that the global situation has failed to normalise to a sufficient level to address the challenges associated with hosting both tournaments, including the feasibility of the relevant qualification pathways,” it further added.

FIFA also has shown its gratitude to the host nations as well as the authorities in Indonesia and Peru for their commitment and the preparations for the tournaments.

FIFA after the success of previous World Cup editions FIFA has started more than before as India has created momentum after hosting the U-17 successfully with great facilities to the teams and also great support from the audience too. Not only this but also FIFA chief Gianni Infantino announced India as a football continent.

The victory in last year’s U17 World Cup, added to Brazil’s success of 1997, 1999 and 2003 as they moved with that of Nigeria’s record of five championships.

The United States U-20s is one of the most successful teams in U17 and U20 levels as they have reached the quarterfinals in each of the last three U-20 World Cups and even the U-17s made the quarterfinals in 2017.

0

The Taiwan OEM giant ASUS has recently confirmed that NVIDIA’s two upcoming GPUs are not very far away from launch, scheduled coming in early 2021. This is because the brand has listed both of the cards in their supports and services page.

Now, recently spotted by HXL (@9550pro), in the GeForce RTX 30 series ROG STRIX variants, you have both GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards. It is not unusual as NVIDIA is rumored to launch the RTX 3060 next month followed by RTX 3080 Ti soon.

Asus does make a lot of wild variants of these GPUs including overclocked and non-overclocked variants. However, with these listings, they have seemingly confirmed the fact that the RTX 3080 Ti will feature 20 GB of GDDR6X memory whereas the GeForce RTX 3060 will feature 12 GB of GDDR6 memory.

Upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti & GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs confirmed by ASUS

Apart from the VRAM, as per the leaked specs, the RTX 3080 Ti will have memory speeds of 19 Gbps, and it will be using a 320-bit bus interface equaling to a bandwidth of 760 GB/s. On the other hand, the total power consumed by the GPU will be 320 Watts and its also rumoured that the pricing of this GPU could match the pricing of the new RX 6900 XT at $999.

Coming to the mid-range RTX 3060, it is said to feature 3840 FP32 cores in a total of 30 SM units. The total VRAM is still in doubt as leaks of both 6 GB (14 Gbps), and 12 GB (16 Gbps) have come out, but most likely NVIDIA could end up using the former memory.

The GeForce RTX 3060 should come with 192-bit bus interface and if it has 16 Gbps memory speed, the total memory bandwidth sums up to 384 GB/s. The GPU could end up being priced at $299 and it will not be long enough to know what actually the pricing or specs will be as NVIDIA will be hosting an event on January 12th.

Can we expect both Snapdragon 888 SoC and 108MP camera in a typical Flagship smartphone of 2021?

New flagship devices that are going to hit the floor in 2021 are gathering much attention. In that list, smartphones that will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 are much highly awaited. We have already discussed how special Snapdragon 88 system-on-a-chip (SoC) can already prove to be when compared to its previous version. You can read it here.

The race between the smartphone OEMs has already started that who can first launch a device with the latest Qualcomm’s SoC. But, people are looking not only at the Snapdragon 888 processor but also finding smartphones with amazing camera specifications. We believe that smartphones with 108MP and Snapdragon 888 will be highly demanded in the market. There are not many reasons why would a person refrain from buying a smartphone run by the fascinating Snapdragon 888 with a quality camera. Here are two phones which will be launched very early and give you both of the qualities.

Xiaomi Mi 11 peeks at us before its launch on December 28 | BGR India

Xiaomi M11 – The market believes that Xiaomi M11 will be the first flagship to host Snapdragon 888 SoC. Currently, it is one of those smartphones which will also have a triple-camera with a 108MP sensor. Yesterday, we covered Xiaomi M11 and talked about its powerful RAM. M11’s “full-blood” LPDDR5 RAM will provide a faster experience to the customers as they have never experienced before. This RAM will help the 108MP camera to run properly without any obstructions.

Redmi K40 Pro – Redmi is considered as another front-runner which will bring a smartphone device with 108MP and will be run by Snapdragon 888. It is expected that Redmi K40 Pro might enter the market early next year. Thus, Xiaomi might have enough time to beat the Redmi for the launch of one such smartphone. Apart from the lavishing 108MP camera, the device will consist of 12GB RAM, a 120Hz refresh rate screen, and a powerful battery of 4,500mAh.

Even Realme’s upcoming Race will also feature Snapdragon 888 5G processor and many others are also included in the list and many more to come in the coming year.

What is the possibility?

In 2020, we have already seen a bunch of smartphones with 108MP camera sensor. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro, Mi 10, Motorola Edge+, and Mi Mix Alpha 5G are a few of those smartphones present in this list. With Qualcomm’s new SoC, people expect that they might see both of these features, camera, and SoC, together in one smartphone. This expectation can become a reality very soon as the first such smartphone can be noticed in the market as soon as January 2021.

Liverpool will wait for Sanches deal; Kabak on radar

Almost every other football fan who does not support Liverpool thought the reigning Champions’ season was going to end poorly when the club found themselves dealing with numerous fist team injuries at the same time. However, the way that Liverpool have reacted to the injuries has been absolutely commendable.

Jurgen Klopp himself has applauded the way that his men have shown their team spirit and functioned as a unit to reclaim their place back at the top of the Premier League table.

Recently, there were reports of the club agreeing a fee with Lille for their midfielder Renato Sanches, potentially making a deal in the January transfer window. But, speaking on the topic on the “Here We Go” podcast, Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio dismissed any move being in place.

The big moves for the club will be saved for the summer since Liverpool are not looking forward to overpaying in the middle of the summer. Things at Anfield are very calm, especially considering that Klopp is very happy with the way things are and he does not want to change much.

Sanches was talked about as the replacement for Gini Wijnaldum, should he leave the club. The Dutch international’s contract expires in the summer, and there are currently no talks about an extension. If Wijnaldum agrees to join any club on the expiry of his current deal, Liverpool are sure to go through with the move for Sanches.

Elsewhere, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak is also one of the names being linked with Anfield since Liverpool are in need of quality centre-backs who can hold the fort even without Virgil Van Dijk, as the situation is right now.

Schalke are in desperate need of money right now, owing to their shocking form, and will not hesitate in selling Kabak to get a sum of money to help sort things out for the club.

We all know that OnePlus is going to launch the OnePlus 9 series in the first half of 2021. At first, the company confirms that initially, this series will have two smartphones. But according to the report, this upcoming series will have three smartphones initially, including OnePlus 9, OnePlus 9 Pro, and OnePlus 9 Lite.

According to the source, this upcoming OnePlus 9 Lite will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC, whereas the OnePlus 9 and the Pro model will be powered by Qualcomm’s this year’s flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset.

Normally, OnePlus launches two models in its flagship series. But this time, the company is planning to launch three devices in its flagship series. But the processor of the 9 Lite will differ from the other two devices in this series. It is a good strategy on OnePlus’s part, to use last year’s flagship SoC for the Lite model.

Another source reveals that the OnePlus 9 Lite could have a similarity with the OnePlus 8T. The upcoming OnePlus 9 Lite is expected to have an AMOLED display with a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate. It is also reported that the battery of the upcoming 9 Lite will get the support of 65W of fast-changing technology. Regarding the camera sensor, it could be very similar too. Regarding the out feature, the upcoming OnePlus 9 Lite comes with a plastic back panel.

Unfortunately, the company hasn’t revealed any details regarding this phone, but this upcoming OnePlus 9 Lite might be priced around $600, whereas the 9 model at around $800 and the Pro model at around $950-1000. Apart from this information, we haven’t got any other clue regarding this topic. Hope we will provide more information in the upcoming days.

The colour will change between Silver and Blue- which is as same as the OnePlus 8T. Both phones have used the same technology. In the back glass panel, there is a thin layer of metal oxide. It changes colour based on the valence state of the metal ions inside.

What is the Technology behind it?

Regarding the technology, this color-changing back panel is a surreal 2D pattern which indicates the debut of Oppo’s electrochromic technology, which can change the color of this back panel of the phone. Previously, we have seen this color-changing back panel on OnePlus 8T model.

Storage and RAM options

This phone will have the same features as the Standard version, but you can distinguish them based on the storage capacity. The standard version has 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, whereas the Artist Limited Edition will have 12GB RAM and 256 GB inbuilt storage configurations.

Oppo X Tom Ford rollable concept phone appears with a triple rear camera setup

0

Oppo, one of the famous Chinese manufacturing companies, might launch a very interesting rollable smartphone in the future. According to a few reports, Oppo is preparing to bring a slider phone with a rollable display soon into the market. The popular designer and American filmmaker, Tom Ford, is the reported design developer behind this concept phone. This is said because of the back images found in one of the documents. We can easily spot ‘Oppo X Tom Ford’ written below the cameras. Though, the company has not made any official statement about the collaboration with the US designer.

It can also be seen that it has a leather back cover, with woven fabric and a wood-like exterior. The smartphone has a vertical stretching body. The screen display can be rolled inside the case. This helps in decreasing the size to almost half. It features a triple rear camera which is placed horizontally on the backside. The front-camera cannot be seen in the photos which might indicate a presence of under-display selfie camera. 

Oppo X Tom Ford slider Concept Phone with a stylish rollable design  uncovered - Gizmochina

Oppo, as a brand, is very famous but it still has a lower market share than its competitors like Xiaomi. It is obvious that technological advancements will give smartphone OEMs a headstart to compete in the future market. A few days back, we reported how Oppo is planning to bring an exciting slide phone into the market. This Oppo X 2021 can be folded three times into 1.5-inch, 3.15-inch, and 7-inch display screens. That model was developed in collaboration with Japanese design studio Nendo. Foldable smartphones are the future. Thus, it can be seen that Oppo is prepared to invest in the future and looking at the options to lure customers. We should also take into account that this is still coming as a concept phone and the real handset might look completely different from this.

AC Milan not eyeing a move for Depay; Koeman still wants former player at Barca

Memphis Depay had agreed on all personal details with Barcelona, as confirmed by the authorities at Lyon. However, the move did not go through owing to the financial crunch at Barcelona. The club needed to sell before they bought any players, and they did not manage to sell enough.

AC Milan were reportedly interested in Depay’s services, but have since turned their attention elsewhere to possibly add an heir to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s striking throne among their ranks.

Just like the situation during the summer transfer window, Barcelona must sell some players to recuperate funds before attempting to sign Depay. Ronald Koeman has been telling the board almost every week that he needs the player at Barcelona, and that the player is part of his long term project at the club.

Whether or not the move will go through during the January transfer window is something that is completely up to the player, according to Fabrizio Romano through his Here We Go podcast on Patreon.

Lyon currently find themselves at the top of the Ligue 1 table and have a chance at finally usurping PSG from the top of the French League mountain. That is something that the player will most probably put into consideration considering the fact that he would be joining Barcelona on the back of an immensely successful season with his former club to add to his confidence.
