Former Liverpool midfielder Boudewijn Zenden has accused Mohamed Salah of tarnishing his legacy at Anfield after he went public in his criticism of manager Arne Slot and the club’s owners. Salah spoke to the media and served up some explosive comments after the 3-3 draw at Leeds earlier this month, as he accused the club of throwing him under the bus, using him as a scapegoat for the team’s poor form and claiming he no longer had a working relationship with boss Slot. Liverpool responded by dropping Salah from the squad for the Champions League game at Inter Milan, but…

This is our most revealing look yet at Bentley’s first EV, which is due to be unveiled at the end of next year.  Spied testing in the freezing conditions of northern Sweden, this mule of Crewe’s so-called Luxury Urban SUV has lost the chunky camouflage that we’ve seen used by previous prototypes.  Without it, a Bentayga-like bonnet, production-spec front lights and a wide and low front end are all visible alongside a monolithic shape that is clearly inspired by the recent EXP 15 concept.  The EV’s nose and much of its rear end are, however, still partially covered, hiding the…

The Man Utd midfielder has suffered a major fall from grace after his breakout season during the 2023/24 campaign, with injuries, a loss of form and the appointment of Ruben Amorim impacting him. Mainoo arguably remains Man Utd’s most talented youngster, but Amorim is clearly not a fan of the England international, who has only…

What’s it like to drive a classic car every day, rather than just on high days and holidays? Can you still use as intended a car that was built more than half a century ago, on roads that are vastly different from those it was designed for, and in the context of an automotive market that has moved on several times over? I did – for a good few years, actually. In fact, because my 1972 Volkswagen Beetle was my first and only car for several years, I didn’t really have an idea of just how outdated, unreliable and unrefined it…

DS boss Xavier Peugeot has hinted that a replacement for the brand’s smallest model, the 3, is on the horizon – but suggested that it won’t be easily pigeonholed into a traditional segment. The high-riding DS 3 supermini is up for renewal, having been launched in 2018 as the second model from the then newly independent DS marque. Sharing its platform and powertrain line-up with the similarly sized Vauxhall Mokka, Jeep Avenger and Peugeot 2008, the DS 3 has played a crucial role in helping Stellantis’s French premium marque to establish a foothold in the European market – particularly in…
