To further push the limits of consumerism, Google has launched a new open standard for agentic commerce that’s called Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). In brief, it’s a framework that combines the power of AI agents and online shopping platforms to help customers buy more things.Thanks to the introduction of UCP, Google is offering three new online shopping features. To start, Google’s AI mode will have a new checkout feature that allows customers to buy eligible products from certain US retailers within Google Search. Currently, this feature works with Google Pay, but it will soon add PayPal compatibility and incorporate more…
Darren Fletcher says he has been given ‘zero indications’ over who will manage Manchester United through the remainder of the season. Fletcher was placed in interim charge on Monday when Ruben Amorim was axed by the Red Devils. The former United midfielder was handed the reins for two matches in which he failed to win. Fletcher oversaw a 2-2 draw at Burnley on Wednesday before Brighton knocked United out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Sunday. In the wake of that defeat, Fletcher says he is yet to discover from the club’s hierarchy whether he or someone else…
Out of the cup and, if reports around their managerial search are to be believed, Manchester United are completely out of ideas. Darren Fletcher’s two-game spell as the interim-interim manager concluded with the Red Devils’ first ever FA Cup defeat to Brighton. Which sounds stark, but the wrong context in which to view this latest defeat. The Seagulls have now won four of their last five visits to AmEx North. Losing at home to Brighton is just one of those things that Manchester United do. Not to worry, though, Reds because here comes Ole Gunner Solskjaer and/or Michael Carrick. Just…
The loss of the federal EV tax credits may have been a huge blow to prospective buyers, but California wants to fill that gap for its residents. Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget for 2026-2027, which was released on Friday, includes a “light-duty zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) incentive program” that details a one-time infusion of $200 million.According to the budget summary, this incentive program is “a critical part of the Administration’s strategy to keep ZEVs affordable and accessible for all.” The proposed budget still has to make it through the state’s legislature later this year, but if passed, the new incentive would…
Ally McCoist believes there’s an “acceptance” of where Manchester United now are, as caretaker boss Darren Fletcher has admitted his players are “fragile.” Reports suggest that United want their new manager in the door by next weekend, when they face rivals Manchester City. That’s probably for the best after the ignominy of Fletcher’s two-game spell. In the wake of the sacking of Ruben Amorim, Fletcher led United to a 2-2 Premier League draw to 19th-placed Burnley, before they lost to Brighton in the third round of the FA Cup. United went 1-0 down in the 12th minute, and former Red…

Liverpool are one of the Premier League clubs said to be interested in former Real Madrid defender Jacobo Ramon, who the La Liga club have a buyback clause for. The Reds’ bid to retain the Premier League title is not going all too well this season. After winning it at a canter last term and starting this campaign with five wins on the spin, they dropped into the bottom half of the table, and are only fourth now – eight points behind third-placed Aston Villa. Defensively, they have been below the clubs above them, which has not helped matters. They’ve…

Steve McManaman feels Manchester United need a “clean slate” which means for only one of Michael Carrick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer taking the vacant manager’s role. United are currently on the hunt for a new manager after seeing the back of Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese boss had lifted the Red Devils up to sixth in the Premier League but was clearly rubbing the board up the wrong way. He did so one time too many, and the project he had started has been scrapped, with a new boss likely to pick up the slack potentially only until the end of…
