2 h. ago Electric Elanga haunts Manchester United with Nottingham Forest winner

At the weekend the lasting image was Ryan Yates haring towards the Nottingham Forest supporters in celebration and here another episode at breakneck speed earned victory. This time the subject was Anthony Elanga, who tore up the City Ground turf, eating up 85m in nine seconds, to score the only goal of the game against his former club and maintain their push to qualify for the Champions League. Diogo Dalot sent a header against the woodwork and the substitute Mason Mount went close on his first appearance since December but, incredibly, the wait for Ruben Amorim’s side to earn back-to-back league wins goes on.“You’re not famous any more,” the Forest supporters sang into six minutes of stoppage time and while that may not quite be true it was another sobering reminder of United’s current state.

5 h. ago The Guardian view on Donald Trump’s tariffs: a spectacle of struggle and control | Editorial

The US president wields tariffs not as a policy tool but as an instrument of pressure, rewarding loyalty and punishing defiance – even among alliesDonald Trump has probably not read much Michel Foucault. But he appears to embody the French philosopher’s claim that “politics is the continuation of war by other means”. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his fondness for tariffs. He presents taxing foreign imports as a way to rebuild the American economy in favour of blue-collar workers left behind by free trade and globalisation.
