Manchester United forward Antony Matheus dos Santos was reportedly involved in a scary New Year’s Eve incident when he crashed his BMW sports car on a motorway near his home.

According to reports, the 22-year-old destroyed his X6 vehicle in roadworks on the M56 near his home in Hale.

Anthony did not sustain any injuries in the accident but was left badly shaken, reports The Mirror.

The footballer passed a breathalyser test when police arrived at the scene, with his £100,000 car subsequently recovered.

“I feel relieved as I had a shock in the last few days, but I prefer not to comment on what happened. It was a personal matter, really hard, but I’m very grateful to God for putting this behind me now,” he said.

The Brazilian signed a five-year contract for a transfer from Ajax to Manchester United in August last year.

Gusau backs Falcons to shine at Olympics

Published

on

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Gusau, is optimistic the Super Falcons will derive inspiration from their impressive performance at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand when they compete at the women’s football event of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Nigeria are pitted against Spain, Brazil, and Japan in a tough Group C of the tournament, which begins July 25, a day before the opening ceremony of the Games, and will run until August 10, when the Games come to an end.

The Falcons booked their spot at the Games for the first time since 2008 by defeating rivals South Africa 1-0 on aggregate in the final qualifying round.

The team’s coach, Randy Waldrum, has labelled their group the “group of death,” but Gusau believes the 11-time African champions can replicate their 2023 Women’s World Cup form, where they bowed out on penalties against England in the round of 16, having held Olympic champions Canada and Northern Ireland, and beating co-hosts Australia.

“We’ll try to improve on our World Cup performance, where we crashed out without losing a single game during regulation time. The girls have shown resilience and determination to qualify for the Olympics against all odds, and I trust them to carry that same spirit to the Games in Paris,” Gusau said.

Gusau is also setting his sights on the podium in Paris.

“After a performance at the World Cup in Australia or New Zealand, I know none of the teams in our group will take us for granted. We want to qualify from the group stage and target the semi-finals, which puts us in the medal range. I believe the team will do well in Paris and return to the country with medals on their necks. Missing three previous Olympic qualifications will motivate the girls to make their mark in Paris,” he added.

Slot’s penchant for a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation also fits Liverpool’s squad.
