MICHAEL OWEN has named “the sad thing about Manchester United these days” while slamming “stupid” new signing Noussair Mazraoui. The Red Devils are on a dire run under new boss Ruben Amorim that has seen them lose four of the last six games. United have conceded 14 goals in that time too. And their latest loss came on Sunday as Bournemouth ran riot at Old Trafford in a 3-0 win. The Cherries took advantage of United’s typically slack defending to claim back-to-back victories at the Theatre of Dreams. Amorim’s men were once again caught lacking at set pieces as they conceded an easy opener. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL But it was a penalty for Bournemouth’s second which really frustrated pundit Owen. The former United man was left fuming when defender Mazraoui hacked down Justin Kluivert to give away a spot-kick. And afterwards, he branded the new signing’s decision to lunge as “stupid”, while also lamenting United’s inability to fight back when going a goal down. Owen told Premier League Productions: “A little rash? A little stupid, more like. What on earth are you doing? Most read in Football FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS “Two players are waiting for him, he’s not going to score from there and he dives in. “Just stay on your feet and usher him away. It’s just a poor, poor decision. The sad thing about Manchester United these days is they go 1-0 down and you never really think they’re going to come back. “They’re not a good team. Ruben Amorim needs to be watching that game and ensure these players that are not performing do not put on the shirt again. “He needs to be that brutal and that ruthless.” Mazraoui, 27, joined United in the summer from Bayern Munich for just over £12million. He has already played 25 times in all competitions for his new side. But it remains unclear where he fits in to Amorim’s system. Mazraoui, a right-back in a four-man defence by trade, has been utilised as both a wing-back and a centre-half in United’s 3-4-3 formation. Yet it was Erik ten Hag who really tried to prove Mazraoui’s versatility by using his former Ajax star as an attacking No10 playmaker in United’s 1-1 Europa League draw at Fenerbahce in October. RUBEN AMORIM suffered his worst defeat of his short reign as Man Utd boss with a shocking 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford. And his flops were easily second best all over the park to Andoni Iraola's Cherries. SunSport's Ian Whittell has provided his ratings of the Man United squad... Andre Onana - 5 Shaky on ball and his nervousness in holding it too long was transmitted to United supporters. Bad conditions for a keeper but there were also some uncertain moments when he needed two attempts to grasp on to long shots. Noussair Mazraoui - 4 Complained bitterly about the penalty he gave away but it was hard to make a case in his defence. Caught out, then panicked and tripped Justin Kluivert from behind to cap what was already an uninspiring display. Harry Maguire - 4 All too often was second to the ball or simply failed to get hold of his man, with Evanilson too elusive for the United defender to shackle. Ruben Amorim believes Maguire is perfect for his three-at-the-back formation but the jury is still out on that one. Lisandro Martinez - 5 Stood watching as Semenyo swept in Bournemouth’s third goal, the latest in a long line of defensive embarrassments from United. Seems to be struggling, like most of his defensive team mates, with the new system and incapable of doing even the basics. Diogo Dalot - 6 Made a couple of good blocks and tried to become involved in attacking moments from wing-back, without having a huge impact. On a day when United’s defence was again found wanting, however, he was not the worst culprit. Manuel Ugarte Booked for a cynical foul on Kluivert and too often struggled to cope with Bournemouth runners. Too much of the game passed him by and did not last even the hour as United chased the game. Kobbie Mainoo 6 Like most of his team, guilty of some unforced errors but there was no faulting his work rate or drive. Created a great chance when he hounded Dean Huijsen off the ball and set up Bruno Fernandes but gave up the ball for Bournemouth’s third. Tyrell Malacia 3 Terrible touch early on drew groans from the home fans, the first of a number of sloppy moments from the fit-again full-back. Predictable that he should give away the free-kick from which the visitors opened the scoring and hooked at half-time. Amad Diallo 7 The big winner from the Rashford controversy and could have lit up Old Trafford early on but placed a good chance straight at the keeper. Not a performance on a par with his derby exploits but still looked United’s best hope of carving out a goal. Bruno Fernandes 8 Playing higher, and wider, up the field these days and maybe there is a debate over whether that is the best use of his undoubted talents. But in the last five minutes of the first half alone, he had three good chances which might have brought an equaliser. Joshua Zirkzee 5 Given the nod ahead of Rasmus Hojlund, a reward for some decent recent performances under his new manager but this was not one of them. Was the closest Red to Dean Huijsen as he headed Bournemouth in front though United’s defending was such a mess, it was not clear whether he was Zirkzee’s responsibility. Substitutes Leny Yoro (for Malacia, 46) 4 Came on as part of a much-needed half-time defensive reshuffle by Amorim but failed to add stability. Alejandro Garnacho (for Ugarte, 54) 5 Had a chance when clean through just after Bournemouth’s third but hit it straight at Kepa. Rasmus Hojlund (for Zirkzee, 54) 6 Looked like he might have a goal in him and at least forced Kepa into one good stop. Substitutes (not used): Altay Bayindir, Casemiro, Toby Collyer, Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, Antony.A real-life "Succession" battle for Rupert Murdoch's media empire has ended with a Nevada court commissioner denying the billionaire's bid to change a family trust and give control to his eldest son. The case pitted the 93-year-old against three of his children over who would gain the power to control News Corp and Fox News when he dies. It has been reported that Mr Murdoch wanted to amend a family trust created in 1999 to allow his son Lachlan could take control without "interference" from his siblings Prudence, Elisabeth and James. A Nevada commissioner ruled Mr Murdoch and Lachlan had acted in "bad faith" and called the efforts a "carefully crafted charade", according to the New York Times . In a statement, a spokesperson for Prudence, Elisabeth and James, said: "We welcome Commissioner Gorman's decision and hope that we can move beyond this litigation to focus on strengthening and rebuilding relationships among all family members." Adam Streisand, a lawyer for Mr Murdoch, told the New York Times they were disappointed and planned to appeal. The BBC has contacted Mr Streisand for comment. The famous family was one of the inspirations behind the hugely popular TV series Succession - something the Murdochs have always refused to comment on. But, according to the New York Times report, which is based on a copy of the sealed court ruling, the billionaire's children had started discussing their father's death and how they would handle it after an episode of the HBO series where "the patriarch of the family dies, leaving his family and business in chaos". The episode led to Elisabeth's representative to the trust writing a "'Succession' memo" that sought to prevent this from happening in real life, said reports. Mr Murdoch, who has been married five times, also has two younger children, Grace and Chloe, who do not have any voting rights under the trust agreement. The case was launched after Mr Murdoch decided to change the trust over worries about a "lack of consensus" among the children, the Times reported. Lachan is thought to be more conservative than his siblings and would preserve the legacy of his media brands. From the 1960s, Mr Murdoch built up his media empire into a globe-spanning media giant with major political and public influence. His two companies are News Corporation, which owns newspapers including the Times and the Sun in the UK and the Wall Street Journal in the US, and Fox, which broadcasts Fox News. Mr Murdoch had been preparing his two sons to follow in his footsteps, beginning when they were teens, journalist Andrew Neil told the 2020 BBC documentary The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty. "Family has always been very important to Rupert Murdoch, particularly from the point of view of forming a dynasty," the former Sunday Times editor said. In 1999, the Murdoch Family Trust, which owns the media companies, was supposed to largely settle the succession plans. It led to Mr Murdoch giving his eldest children various jobs within his companies. The trust gives the family eight votes, which it can use to have a say on the board of News Corp and Fox News. Mr Murdoch currently controls four of those votes, with his eldest children being in charge of one each. The trust agreement said that once Mr Murdoch died, his votes would be passed on to his four eldest children equally. However, differences in opinions and political views were said to lead to a family rift. The battle over changes to the trust were not about money, but rather power and control over the future of the Murdoch empire. The commissioner's ruling is not final, the Times reports. The court filing acts as a recommended resolution but a district judge will still weigh in and could choose to rule differently.

Slovak Opposition Criticizes Fico's Meeting With PutinDonald Trump has threatened to seize the Panama Canal, revived calls to buy Greenland and joked about annexing Canada -- leaving the world guessing once again whether he is serious or not. By challenging the sovereignty of some of Washington's closest allies four weeks before he even returns to the Oval Office, the US-president elect has underscored his credentials as global disruptor-in-chief. His comments have renewed fears from his first term that Trump will end up being harsher on US friends than he is on adversaries like Russia and China. But there are also suspicions that billionaire tycoon Trump is looking for leverage as part of the "art of the deal" -- and that the former reality television star is grabbing headlines to look strong at home and abroad. "It's hard to tell how much of this he really wants, and how much is the latest soundbite that will be heard around the world," said Frank Sesno, a professor at George Washington University and former White House correspondent. "He puts other leaders in position of having to figure out what is literal and what is not," he told AFP. The idea of buying Greenland is not a new one for Trump. He also raised the prospect of purchasing the vast strategic island, a Danish territory, during his first term in office. He revived his push over the weekend when naming his ambassador to Copenhagen, saying the "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" for US national security. But he received the same answer this time as he did then, with Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede saying on Monday that the resource-rich island was "not for sale." Yet his most headline-grabbing remarks have been on Panama, as he slammed what he called unfair fees for US ships passing through and threatened to demand control of the Panama Canal be returned to Washington. Trump said on Sunday that if Panama did not agree "then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America -- in full, quickly and without question." He also hinted at China's growing influence around the canal, which was built by the United States in 1914 to link the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It was returned to Panama under a 1977 deal. Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino dismissed Trump's threats, saying that "every square meter" of the canal would remain in Panamanian hands. Trump responded on TruthSocial: "We'll see about that!" Trump also teased neighboring Canada last week that it would be a "great idea" to become the 51st US state -- but against a dark backdrop of threatened tariffs. Sesno said it was hard for other countries to know how to deal with Trump's comments. "Well, it's clearly a joke. Or is it? said Sesno. "Imagine if you're the President of Panama, how do you react to something like that? You can't ignore it and your country will not let you. So the ripple effect of these comments is extraordinary." Trump's harsh treatment of US allies also stands in stark contrast to his repeated praise for the leaders of US foes -- including Russia's Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in 2022 in a bid for a land-grab. But there is still likely to be method behind Trump's rhetoric. "Maybe the message is for China" when Trump talks about buying Greenland, said Stephanie Pezard, senior political scientist with the Rand Corporation. Just as Trump expressed concern about Beijing's influence in Panama, China's growing presence in the Arctic and its ties with Russia were "something that the US is really worried about," Pezard told AFP. But there could also be a signal to Denmark that 'If you're too friendly with China, you'll find us in your way" -- even though Denmark and Greenland had been "very good NATO allies." And perhaps Trump knows the reality. Any US plan to "buy" Greenland would be unfeasible "not just in international law but more broadly in the global order that the US has been trying to uphold," she said. dk/bgs
