Manchester United should be on the lookout for a new manager as soon as possible. United need to find a new direction after yet another setback under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, this time against one of the club's biggest rivals, Manchester City, and a devastating 2-0 loss. Solskjaer should be on borrowed time after his poor derby day performance on Saturday, and MEN Sport understands that he is in more risk of losing his job, though the club is still reticent to make a change without a strong contingency plan in place. The shortlist includes Brendan Rodgers, Erik ten Hag, and Mauricio Pochettino, all of whom are now working by separate clubs.

  Lionel Messi is a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or in 2021, but the editor of France Football has dismissed speculations that the PSG superstar has already been informed of his victory as "bullsh*t." Despite a coronavirus-affected athletic calendar last year, no Golden Ball was given out, but someone will be honored on November 29. Messi, the Argentine legend, is widely seen as the frontrunner, with some believing that he already has a seventh individual prize in his illustrious career, but poll authorities insist no winner has yet been determined. The allegations concerning Messi were confirmed by Pascal Ferre, France's football editor, in an interview with Bild.
