According to reports, one manager is ‘out’ of the running to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, while there is a ‘two-way battle’. Man Utd are currently working on a succession plan regarding their manager situation after parting ways with former head coach Ruben Amorim on Monday morning. Amorim‘s position became untenable after he publicly hit out at Man Utd’s board, while the club’s results and performances have been far from good enough during the head coach’s reign. Club legend Darren Fletcher has stepped up from the academy to take over in an interim basis and he was in the…

Here at Autocar, arguments rage pretty much daily. One of the biggest ones we have is over the best car from each manufacturer’s back catalogue.  Some of our staffers see the merits of the MG ZT-T 260…while some don’t. Some pick the obvious, some are more obtuse. In order to settle the debate we made shortlists and conducted a vote. And these are the results. Simply the best car from each manufacturer, as picked by our staffers. Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio The office bickering began with the first manufacturer on the list, but it was inevitable: how could anyone possibly agree on a ‘best’…

For years, we’ve been wondering when Samsung would actually bring Ballie, its cute household companion robot, to market and now we finally have our answer: it won’t.

A spokesperson told the publication that the company will keep Ballie around as an “active innovation platform” internally. “After multiple years of real-world testing, it continues to inform how Samsung designs spatially aware, context-driven experiences,…

The US has suspended all assistance to the government of Somalia, alleging that officials destroyed a UN World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse and seized “donor-funded food aid”.”The Trump administration has a zero-tolerance policy for waste, theft, and diversion of life-saving assistance,” said a US State Department statement on X.The message, posted on the account of the under secretary for foreign assistance, said reports had been received about officials illegally seizing 76 tonnes of food intended for “vulnerable Somalis”.Any resumption of assistance would depend on the Somali government “taking accountability for its unacceptable actions and taking appropriate remedial steps”, it said.Although…

Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi has reportedly reached a ‘verbal agreement’ for a January transfer amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester City. Guehi has emerged as one of the standout centre-backs in Europe as he has shone for club and country over the past few years. The Palace captain, who is only under contract until the summer, has also been heavily linked with a potential exit from the Premier League side, with elite clubs across Europe mentioned as potential destinations for the centre-back. In the summer, Liverpool came close to signing Guehi as they reached an agreement worth £35m with…

Kia has released the first images of the EV2, its new entry-level electric car, ahead of its reveal tomorrow (9 January). Three pictures published on social media reveal it retains key cues from the EV2 Concept shown last year, including its fang-like headlights and low-set brake lights. The Renault 4 rival will make its debut at the Brussels motor show, when Kia will also unveil new range-topping GT variants of the EV3, EV4 and EV5. Powertrain details have still to be revealed, but the EV2 will sit on the same modular E-GMP architecture as the rest of Kia’s EV-badged range. As such, it…

I’m a longtime lover of pen and paper, so E Ink tablets have been intriguing to me ever since they started becoming more widely available. After having hundreds of half-filled notebooks over the years, I, at some point, turned to digital tools instead because it was just easier to store everything on my phone or laptop so I always had my most important information at my fingertips.E-Ink tablets seem to provide the best of both worlds: the tactile satisfaction of regular notebooks with many of the conveniences found in digital tools, plus easy-on-the-eyes E-Ink screens. These devices have come a…

Gary Neville has said Manchester United re-hiring Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be ‘Groundhog Day’ with the club stuck in a ‘cycle.’ Almost 50 months on since they last sacked him, United are reportedly considering re-hiring Solskjaer on an interim basis until the end of the year ahead of appointing a permanent boss in the summer. Solskjaer is one of two names thought to be in contention, along with Michael Carrick who has also managed the club in the past, but Neville believes either hire would be part of a familiar pattern. “They put Ryan [Giggs] in charge 10 years ago,…

I’m fascinated by AI cooking robots which, as far as I’m concerned, automate the one fun bit of cooking. Sadly, it’s far easier to make something that can stir a pan of ingredients as they cook compared to building something that would successfully peel a carrot. Nosh is the latest unit to use CES to announce itself to the world, gearing up for its launch in the next few months. Like its many rivals, you load ingredients into the unit and then Nosh will assemble them for you. Unlike its many rivals, you can have more than one ingredient tray,…
