All the Manchester United player faces in FIFA 22

The devs at EA had their work cut out for them this year to ensure players like Mason Greenwood looked the part

The Manc - 1st October 2021

FIFA 22 has been fully released to the public since Monday for those who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition version of the game, giving fans an insight into what this year’s players look like.

With the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Manchester United team in this year’s game it’s likely they are going to be a popular choice amongst gamers.

However, last year, the Red Devils went viral for having a handful of questionable player face scans that, basically, looked nothing like their real-life counterparts.

The devs at EA had their work cut out for them this year to ensure players like Mason Greenwood looked the part, and while they did a great job on him this time, fans aren’t so sure on the rest of the squad.

Below is the entire squad, let us know what you think.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Marcus Rashford

Mason Greenwood

Bruno Fernandes

Paul Pogba

Raphael Varane

Jadon Sancho

Harry Maguire

Luke Shaw

David de Gea

Edinson Cavani

An official Oasis Live ’25 fan store, selling official tour merch and limited-edition products, is opening in Manchester this week.

The flagship store will open in an as-yet mystery location ahead of a nationwide roll-out of official Oasis fan stores.

Set to open on Friday 20 June, the Oasis Live ’25 fan store in Manchester will be stocked with the official merch for the hotly-anticipated reunion tour, which will be launching in store and online later this week.

As well as the official tour merchandise, the stores will sell exclusive brand collaborations, limited-edition products, and items not available to buy anywhere else.

The news has been announced ahead of the Oasis Live ’25 shows, which will see the Gallagher brothers back together for the first time since 2009.

They’ll be performing five nights at Heaton Park, on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.

The Manchester Oasis Live ’25 fan store will be the first to open in the UK and the flagship, based in the brothers’ home city.

Further stores are set to open in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Birmingham.

It’s hoped these are going to enrich the overall fan experience of the massive tour, that now spans stadium shows across the UK, Ireland, North America, Asia, Australia and South America.

More details on the Manchester fan store location and tour merchandise collection will be released later this week, with other store addresses to be revealed.

The Manchester Oasis fan store will be open between 20 June and 27 July.

Addison Rae Manchester gig tickets 2025

Viral TikTok star and now recording artist, Addison Rae, has announced her first-ever headline European tour, where she’ll be paying Manchester a visit, and tickets go on sale this week.

After launching into the music scene back in 2021 with pure pop single, ‘Obsessed’, Addison made her pop star intentions very clear.

Since then, Addison has gone on to work with high-profile artists such as Charli XCX, who appears as a feature on track ‘2 Die 4’ taken from her first EP, ‘AR’.

Addison also contributed to the inescapable phenomenon of last year that was ‘Brat Summer’, appearing on the aforementioned A-list artist’s Brat remix album, on a reworking of the hit ‘Von Dutch’.

With more than 88.5 million followers on TikTok alone and north of 35 million on Instagram, it goes without saying that her legions of ‘Sunraes’ (yes, a real term used by some in the community) will be lining up to get tickets to her UK tour dates.

Now the singer is ready to take the world by storm, confirming a US and European tour following the release of her debut album, simply titled Addison.

This LP, which features standouts like smash single ‘Diet Pepsi’, ‘Aquamarine’ and ‘Fame Is A Gun’, has been met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

The fledgling 24-year-old American-born pop star is a big fan of the UK, so much so that one of the singles from this very debut album, ‘Headphones On’, includes a music video dedicated to frozen food retailer Iceland.

See for yourself…

Addison Rae is set to bring ‘The Addison Tour’ – her first on the continent and here in Britain and Ireland – to Manchester Academy on 30 August, with general admission going on sale this Friday, 20 June.
