crystal palace are at home burnley and manchester united face fulham at old trafford.e. boss erik ten—hag isn't feeling the pressure following talks with new minority owner sirjim ratcliffe. that feeling where we have so many talks, we are very alike. we have the same ambition. we are very aligns in the process. in rugby league, wigan warriors welcome their australian counterparts, penrith panthers, for the world club challenge later — as they vie for the title of best club side in the world. the home crowd are hoping to see the reigning super league champions take the spoils for a fifth time. but they have a tough task on their hands, against the nrl team. penrith lost in the final to st helens last year, in a dramatic golden point defeat. and were actually beaten to it by wigan in 1991. you don't get invited this game. it's hard to win a championship, you have to play well all year and you still got to win card games. both of us have earned this rights, and to have a sold—out stadium, and obviously the world cup challenge went quiet for a few years with covid. i thin

the last major works at old trafford were in 2006.. much of it is unused and undeveloped, so there is opportunity. united could build a new ground and a surrounding sports village, all while staying on the site of their spiritual home. it would take huge investment. just to build a new stadium could cost £2 billion. you know, there is quite a big argument, in my view, for regenerating that whole south side of manchester and within it, the nucleus of it being a new stadium, which would be a world class state of the art stadium, which could take england games, it could take the fa cup final, it could take the champions league final and it could service the north of england. and how would you pay for it, sirjim? because there's been suggestions that you'd want public funding from government. i think if it was part of that regeneration project and a national stadium, then that clearly has to be a conversation with the government. the north deserves some thought about, you know, government investment and regeneration as well as the south.
