Man United: Happy Moment As Injured Martial And Fellaini Resumes Training

Marouane Fellaini and Anthony Martial have given Manchester United a double boost ahead of the game with Crystal Palace this weekend.

The duo have been struggling over the international break with injuries, but have both returned to training ahead of the game, with pictures showing them both hurdling at the club's Carrington training ground base.

Fellaini is continuing his recovery from a knock that kept him out of international duty with Belgium over the last couple of weeks, while Martial withdrew from the France squad last week with an injury.

But both are now back in training with the Red Devils ahead of the weekend's game, and could come into contention to feature against Palace.

The pair trained alongside players such as Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Fred, with some players not yet back from international duty.

And their involvement will be a welcome boost for Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, who has a number of injury concerns ahead of the game.

Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku are among the players struggling to be fit for the game, while Marcus Rashford is considered a doubt after limping off with an injury during England's 2 - 1 win against Croatia on Sunday.

But summer signing Diogo Dalot should be available for the game, and could come into the side, with Luke Shaw suspended for United.

There will not be a record 188 weeks as No.1 for Serena Williams as the American was – for the second year running – knocked out of the US Open in the semi finals. After battling through in three sets against Simona Halep in the quarters, there was no hiding place against 10th seeded Karolina Pliskova on Thursday night at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 24-year-old Czech continued her hard-hitting, beating Serena 6-2, 7-6 before a largely partisan crowd. And in the second semifinal, Angelique Kerber defeated former No.1, Caroline Wozniacki, 6-4 6-3 to make it to her third Grand Slam final of 2016, having won the Australian Open by defeating Serena Williams. Kerber is now World number one dethroning Serena. In 2015, Serena faltered in this same semi final to Roberta Vinci with a chance to win a calendar Grand Slam. This year she was chasing a new record of being No.1 for 188 weeks having equalled Stefi Graf’s 187 weeks as No.1. She was also chasing a 23rd Grand Slam title tha...

Trump not qualified to be president, says Obama

Outgoing President Barack Obama condemned Donald Trump as unsuitable to be commander-in-chief Thursday, after the Republican nominee blasted US military brass and praised Vladimir Putin. "I don't think the guy's qualified to be president of the United States and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed," Obama said in unusually caustic language while overseas. Obama is in Laos for a summit with South East Asia leaders and his final trip to east Asia. "I can tell you from the interactions I have had over the last eight or nine days with foreign leaders that this is serious business," Obama said. "You actually have to know what you are talking about and you actually have to have done your homework. When you speak, it should actually reflect thought out policy you can implement." Trump on Wednesday raised eyebrows by saying that Russia's president was "far more" of a leader than Obama. Putin is "very much of ...
