Manchester United’s wonderkid Mason Greenwood is again in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Last week he was expelled from the England squad along with Manchester City teenager Phil Foden. It was found that both the players called some girls in their hotel room violating the Covid-19 precaution norms.
Now there is one more acquisition against Greenwood. In a video, he was spotted inhaling Nitrous Oxide at a party weeks before he was expelled from the squad. It also shows Mason was filling a balloon with nitrous oxide from a canister before appearing to inhale the substance.
Nitrous Oxide is also known as ‘Laughing Gas’. Inhaling this can cause serious health risks including heart attacks and brain damage. Consuming it for a long time can lead to memory loss and vitamin deficiency.
As a professional player for top tier tournaments, it is one of the most important things to stay healthy and maintaining a disciplined life or else it can badly affect a player’s professional career.
Greenwood is in the early stage of his career. He needs proper guidance in this matter. Manchester United can provide this guidance to him. In an interview through Manchester United, the youngster said, -“I have now been made aware of the health risks associated with this practice — and accept that even trying it, as shown in these historical pictures, was poor judgment on my part.”
“I strongly urge others not to follow my example.”
“As an 18-year old, I am learning all the time. However, this week I’ve also learned that I will be judged to a higher standard because of my career, and I must respect that in the future.”
“I am determined to repay the faith shown in me by my manager and coaches.”
United is going to start their season next weekend. Fans are excited to see their wonderkid again this season. After coming in the news for the wrong reasons in the last two weeks, all are hoping that he will come back again to what he does best on the pitch and surely shut the mouth of his haters again.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is less than a week away. After the tournament was postponed, after many hindrances and altercations, the IPL will begin on September 19 in UAE.
T20, especially IPL, has always been a type of cricket that is constantly evolving. Be it with the invention of various shots like reverse-sweep or the utilization of slower deliveries with the ball. Therefore, someone who can tick both those boxes can be an important component for every team.
Today we will name some of the best all-rounders in each team of the IPL. The fact that the tournament is in UAE, will bring an interesting element to every aspect of the game. Therefore, they will be judged on the basis of their all-rounded skillset and their suitability on UAE conditions.
Mumbai Indians
HARDIK PANDYA – Hardik Pandya’s fearless batting and useful bowling has sky-rocketed his way in the Indian National Team. Pandya has been instrumental in MI’ success. He will have to work more on consistency though.

KRUNAL PANDYA – Unlike his brother, Krunal Pandya has been like an unsung hero of the mighty MI team. He will be more effective in UAE conditions due to his speedy variations.
Chennai Super Kings
DWAYNE BRAVO – Dwayne Bravo is considered as one of the best all-rounders in T20 cricket. He is fresh off a CPL tournament win where he picked up his 500th T20 wicket. He takes charge of the death overs while bowling and can also score in them while batting.

RAVINDRA JADEJA – Jadeja will be useful under UAE conditions due to his ability to bowl speedy deliveries. He will be an important factor in the absence of Harbhajan Singh.
Kolkata Knight Riders
ANDRE RUSSELL – Russell is one of the best and most feared cricketers in the world. He can bowl during both powerplay and death overs. However, while batting he knows one thing, to ATTACK. KKR management is also thinking of promoting him at number 3, which can be even more disastrous for the opponent team.

SUNIL NARINE – It is safe to say that Sunil Narine is a proper IPL all-rounder. KKR has famously used Narine as a pinch-hitter in the opening slot. He has consistently provided the side with brisk starts and even half-centuries.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
VIJAY SHANKAR – The Indian international will have the responsibility to carry the Sunrisers Hyderabad. 2019 was a good year for Shankar, however, he will have to prove more in the T20 format.
(PC- India TV News)
Sunrisers have two experienced and top all-rounders in the world namely Mitchell Marsh and Mohammad Nabi. However, unfortunately, due to restrictions of playing only four foreign players, they may not make it into the regular playing 11 at least at first.
Rajasthan Royals
BEN STOKES – Stokes is currently one of the best all-rounders in the world in all three formats. He will be considered as the one to watch out for this IPL.
(PC- Times of India)
SHREYAS GOPAL – Gopal started only as a leg-spinner. However, over the years he has shown improved batting and can score handy runs down the orders.
Delhi Capitals
MARCUS STOINIS – Stoinis has improved a lot and has been a staple part of the mighty Australian team. He will provide firepower to the Capitals’ side.
KEEMO PAUL – Despite at the tender age of 22, Paul is an IPL tested all-rounder and can prove handy with his slower deliveries.
Kings XI Punjab
GLENN MAXWELL – Maxwell has proven to be more than just an attacking batsman as he made his way up to first place in the list of top T20 all-rounders.
JAMES NEESHAM – Neesham has been a staple all-rounder in the New Zealand T20 team. He can be extremely dangerous with the bat and can chip in with some good overs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
CHRIS MORRIS – Morris will bring in a lot of T20 specific experience in the side which they always lacked. He will be extremely important as RCB has invested a heavy chunk of money on him as well.

MOEEN ALI – Ali has shown great potential last year by literally carrying the RCB middle-order. There will be expectations from him this time around as well.
SHIVAM DUBE – Dube can prove to be a lethal batsman. He showed great potential in the NZ series earlier this year. He is definitely someone on whom RCB can invest.

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe wants a move to the Premier League or LaLiga in the next summer.
Real Madrid has been a long admirer of the Frenchman. Club president, Florentino Perez wants to bring the World Cup winner to the Bernabeu.
Mbappe also admires his fellow countryman, Zinedine Zidane, who is the current manager of Real Madrid. Perez has given the responsibility of bringing Mbappe to Real Madrid to Zidane.
According to a report by Sunday Times, Mbappe would like a move to either LaLiga or the Premier League, with Real Madrid and Liverpool touted as a potential destination.
Kylian Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in 2018 for a reported fee of around €145m. He has scored 90 goals in 124 games for the club till now.
The World Cup winner said in January: “What Liverpool do in this moment is amazing,”
“They’re like a machine, they’ve found a rhythm and are like ‘we play again, we play again’. When you watch you think everything’s easy, but that’s not easy. The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win.”
“Performances like they have been having don’t just happen. To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager.”
Mbappe has reportedly told PSG sporting director Leonardo that he wants to leave in 2021. Real Madrid and Liverpool will definitely be in the market for the next big star in world football.
While the Premier League season kicked off yesterday, the FA Women’s Super League kicked off last Sunday. The Tottenham Hotspur women’s team has successfully negotiated the signing of the 31-year-old striker Alex Morgan on a loan deal. She is set to play with Spurs for the entirety of the 2020-21 season.
We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the signing of two-time @FIFAWWC winner Alex Morgan! 🤩🙌
Morgan previously played for Orlando Pride of the NWSL. She now becomes the fifth American player to make the move abroad.
Lauded as one of the best female strikers in the world, Morgan has been a superstar for the USWNT. She guided the women’s team to two successive World Cup victories and has scored 107 goals in 169 appearances for her national team.
She was awarded the US Soccer’s Female Player of the Year award in 2018 and also managed to take home the silver boot along with the 2019 World Cup. Her goal tally was equal to that of her teammate Megan Rapinoe, and she only lost out on the fewest minutes rule.
While the USWNT star has not played since May due to the birth of her son, Charlie, few can doubt her talent and her skills.
Along with the World Cup, Morgan has also led the national team to multiple Olympic medals and looks to gain her match fitness back before the time comes once again next year.
While local rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have dominated the Women’s Super League for the last few years, Morgan’s arrival can provide competition to the Blues and the Gunners if she manages to hit the ground running.
Morgan is also recognized as an author, a graduate in political economy and the face of women’s football in the States. She is easily the most beloved player of all, becoming a symbol for combating sexism in the sport.
Fans have reacted very positively to the Lilywhites’ newest signing as they welcomed the player to the London based club over on Twitter.

SoftBank is reportedly trying to sell UK’s Arm Holdings to US chip company Nvidia. The bidding price is said to be more than $40bn. Sources claim that a cash-and-stock take over by Nvidia may be announced as soon as Monday. This will make SoftBank the largest shareholder in the US chip company.
News of the deal began making rounds in July earlier and was reported that Nvidia was the only suitor for the SoftBank. If the deal receives a greenlit, it will be one of the largest deals ever in the chip sector.
ARM is semiconductor and software design company wholly owned by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group and its Vision Fund.
Nvidia will become a Global leader in Chipmaker Sector
It’s not just any small brand. The company’s chip power mobile device processors for companies including Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm. The value of ARM chips has only gone up in recent times. With Microsoft manufacturing ARM-based Surface models and Apple planning to switch Macs to ARM-based chipsets. Nvidia will make a fortune if it manages to acquire ARM holdings.
Nvidia is currently the worlds leading GPU maker. But it does not have a market share when it comes to the CPU design. With the acquisition of ARM, Nvidia is likely to enter the CPU market in the coming future.
ARM chipsets have seen a wide range of applications in various fields. Demands for ARM-based chipsets have been increasing in mobile devices, data centers, and personal computers including Apple’s Mac and Microsofts Surface. With its 6nm chipset designs set to revolutionize the Chromebook market and ARM is not just any small player in the chipset market.

This deal will make Nvidia the centre of Semiconductor industry.
Barca dispatched Gimnastic Tarragona of the Segunda B division in a 3-1 victory at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Saturday evening. The victory featured Antoine Griezmann, Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele on the scoresheet. The three of whom have struggled to make a consistent impact for their new team.
However, the highlight of the evening wasn’t the redemption of the 100 million plus club. No. It was the performance of the young players that really came into the limelight. Here are all the youngsters that made a mark in Saturday’s friendly victory.
Carles Alena
After completing his loan spell at Real Betis, Alena made his return to his boyhood club on Saturday. Operating in the heart of the midfield, he did very well to dictate the pace and the flow of the game. He must give it all on the pitch if he hopes to break into the first team this season.
Riqui Puig
Puig is one of the most highly-rated youngsters coming out of Camp Nou. His agility and activeness on the pitch were on display all over the second half, after coming off the bench. Also one of the quickest on the pitch, Puig has a very bright future ahead of him. All he needs to do is learn from his mistakes and be consistent with his good performances.
Pedri
After joining Barcelona from Las Palmas, Pedri made his debut for his new club in the friendly match. The 17-year-old created great plays and was one of the most active attackers in their win. He stands out for his extremely mature mentality for a 17-year-old player and will be one to watch this season.
Francisco Trincao
The 20-year-old Portuguese winger was the best player on the pitch in the second half. He absolutely befuddled defenders with his impressive dribbling skills, showing fans exactly why the club paid €31 million to seal his move from Braga. The winger was unstoppable, even with the number of fouls that the opposition defenders had to make to stop him.
While the future looks very exciting for the Catalonian giants, it remains to be seen is when these players will fulfill their potential.
