Tesco has unveiled its full Christmas meal deal lineup for 2024, and it’s already hit the shelves across the UK now.

Spooky season is nearly on its way out, and it won’t be long before the most wonderful time of the year is here, which is why most of the UK’s major supermarkets have already begun stocking their shelves with Christmas food, drink, and gifts galore – especially after a new survey has revealed a fifth of Brits have already started doing their Christmas shopping.

As well as its full festive food lineup announced in early August, Tesco has now unveiled all the sandwiches and snacks forming part of its iconic lunchtime meal deal selection.

Eight new seasonal mains and sides have been launched this year, as well as some classics and returning fan favourites too.

Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim emerges as heavy frontrunner for Manchester United job

Danny Jones Danny Jones Ruben Amorim tipped for Man United managers job

A strong favourite for the top job at Manchester United looks to have already emerged as current Sporting Clube de Portugal manager Rúben Amorim has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Previous head coach Erik ten Hag was ultimately relieved of his duties at the start of the week following a poor run of results which concluded with his final game and defeat against West Ham in the Premier League this past Sunday.

ten Hag’s sacking didn’t exactly come as a surprise, even if his new deal back in July does now seem a bit obsolete; it felt like a matter of when, not if and after the Red Devils found themselves sat in just 14th with just one win in his last eight games, there was only ever going to be one outcome.

Now though, 39-year-old Rúben Amorim has been heavily linked with the Man United manager’s role and, as per multiple reports, looks to be keen on taking the job.

The Athletic broke the news on Monday evening, revealing that Amorim is “open to talking” with United over the vacancy despite making a promising start to the season in Portugal.

Other outlets like The Telegraph have even claimed that the former midfielder is now pushing for the switch and that the only obstacle that remains is how open his current employers are to letting him go, noting that he has a release clause of around £8.3 million to release him from his contract.

Under the Lisbon native, Sporting CP have won each of their opening nine games so far this campaign, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two, as well as helping lead ‘Leões’ to their first league title in 19 years back in 2021 following his debut season.

He has since gone on to win the Liga Portugal for a second time last season, as well as a total of four domestic league cups – three at Sporting and one with his previous club FC Braga back in 19/20 – as well as the Portuguese Super Cup, boasting a win rate of 71.73%. Undeniably impressive stats.

Regardless, although he has previously been linked with Liverpool and even tipped to be Pep Guardiola’s successor at Manchester City, not everyone is confident he’s ready for a move to the Premier League yet, or more accurately, that his style will translate so easily to the English game.

Yes, we’re aware that the last one ends rather very sardonically but still, the Manchester-based comedian makes a good point, as do both of these posts: there seems to be a pattern to post-Fergie United that inevitably reoccurs when the hire and fire carousel starts turning.

Should INEOS end up pulling the trigger on Amorim, it’s thought that the signing could be completed very soon, with interim coach and club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy only expected to be in charge for the Leicester game this weekend.

Fabrizio Romano has already claimed that an agreement between the club and the coach is now fully in place, meaning it’s just down to sorting appropriate compensation with Sporting.

As for whether Amorim will settle in at United and, indeed, cut the mustard as a Premier League-level manager, only time will tell. Football analyst Alex Barker certainly has some interesting thoughts:

More than 50,000 Oasis tickets set to be cancelled and re-listed for sale

More than 50,000 tickets to Oasis gigs across the UK are set to be cancelled and re-listed for sale “in the coming weeks”.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Oasis are reforming for a run of shows in the UK and Ireland next year, but the massively long-awaited reunion tour has faced some serious controversy over ticket sales and prices since it was announced back in August – which has prompted the band’s promotors to make the decision to cancel tens of thousands of tickets sold on resale websites.

A whopping 1.4 million tickets were put on sale for shows across the UK when the Gallagher brothers announced their tour in August.

As you can probably imagine though, demand for tickets was unprecedented, and before long, more than 10 million fans from 158 countries joined the online queues.

When tickets for the tour went on sale, Oasis fans were told ahead of time that they could only buy tickets at face value through Ticketmaster or its resale partner, Twickets, however within a matter of hours of the general sale beginning, thousands of tickets appeared on resale sites at hugely inflated prices.

Unfortunately for those fans who snapped up tickets on resale websites such as Viagogo and StubHub though, the iconic Manchester band’s promotors, Live Nation and SJM, have announced that they are now in the process of cancelling tickets believed to have broken terms and conditions.

Promoters said that any fans who believe they have had their tickets cancelled “in error”, however, will be able to speak have their case investigated by the relevant ticket agent, according to the BBC.

“These terms and conditions were successfully put in place to take action against secondary ticketing companies reselling tickets for huge profit,” a spokesperson for Live Nation and SJM explained.

“Only 4% of tickets have ended up on resale sites. Some major tours can see up to 20% of tickets appearing via the major unauthorised secondary platforms.

“All parties involved with the tour continue to urge fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorised websites as some of these may be fraudulent and others subject to cancellation.”

The news that some Oasis tickets will be cancelled and re-listed comes after the Government confirmed that it will be reviewing the concept of dynamic ticket pricing, and after consumer watchdog Which? urged the band and Ticketmaster to refund fans subjected to ‘in demand’ tickets.
