For United, after letting both Marcus Rashford and Antony go on loan (to Aston Villa and Real Betis) there would surely be serious uproar if Sir Jim Ratcliffe allowed another wide forward, who Ruben Amorim talked up last week, to depart.Ruben Amorim left more than £100m of striker on the bench in yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. Surely he wants the Manchester United hierarchy to invest in someone that guarantees goals. He also sanctioned the departures of Antony and Marcus Rashford, leaving them short of options in attack, not that either has done anything of note this season. Continue reading...

European leaders meeting to discuss defence procurement but fragile relationship with US dominates agendaEU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has just been addressing the media on her arrival in Brussels.She spoke about the need for Europe to “do more, together” in defence and look at how new initiatives can be funded.We were listening carefully to those words and of course we are preparing also on our side. What is clear, there are no winners in trade wars. If US starts a trade war, the one laughing on the side is China. We are very interlinked. We need America, and America needs us as well. I think that tariffs are always bad. Tariffs are bad for trade, they are bad for the US, bad for those who seek tariffs imposed. The answer to tariffs is to reply with same actions.

Working long days as a corporate lawyer, I needed an exercise regime to get me out of my head. Reviving a childhood passion helped me reconnect with my bodyMy earliest memories of ballet will be familiar to many childhood dancers: ribbons, shoe fittings, hairspray (lots of it). I attended my first class at about four years old and continued off and on until my early teens, when I started to focus on other activities and on studying for exams. Since I was never planning to become a professional dancer, I didn’t consider that ballet would become an important part of my adult life. But today, at 32, it is one of my most meaningful passions – and I am so grateful to have rediscovered it.That happened in my early 20s, when I was a corporate lawyer in London. The job involved a lot of late nights and desk work. I was looking for a fitness class that would get me out of my head and back into my body and I stumbled across a beginner ballet class. There, I was amazed to find t...
