It's for one day only to celebrate Black Friday.

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 23rd November 2023

Morrisons is giving hungry customers the chance to tuck into a hearty helping of fish and chips at half the price for just one day only tomorrow.

And it’s all to mark the international day of spending that is Black Friday.

After already slashing the price of its usual chippy offering once this year to suitably-celebrate the legendary annual event that is National Fish and Chip Day back, Morrisons has announced that the massively-popular dining deal is making a comeback at hundreds of its in-store cafes nationwide tomorrow.

The supermarket has 395 cafes inside stores all across the UK, and the 50% off food offer is set to be available from all of them.

Usually setting you back £7, the Fish & Chips meal – which includes one portion of freshly battered fish from Morrisons Market Street, with golden crispy chips and the traditional accompaniment of mushy peas – will be yours all for just £3.50 for just one day only.

You can also add a side of bread and butter to that for £1 extra, or save room for a sweet treat and try the hearty Bramley Apple Crumble for just £3 too.

“Bargain hunting on Black Friday can certainly work up an appetite,” commented Morrisons Café Buying Manager, Chris Strong, “so why not pop into one of our cafes for the ultimate catch of the day with a whopping 50% off our customer favourite Fish & Chip café meal.

“It’s available for one day only [though, so] you’ll need to be quick.”

Not a bad bargain at all, right?

The only catch is though, you’ll need to be signed-up to the supermarket‘s loyalty scheme and scan your Morrisons More card at the cafe checkout if you want to claim the half price offer tomorrow.

Brighton’s Carlos Baleba is now said to be ‘keen’ on a move to Manchester United

Danny Jones Danny Jones Carlos Baleba keen on move to Man United

Manchester United may not yet be done with their transfer business, as another potential summer target, Carlos Baleba, is now reportedly “keen” on a move to the Theatre of Dreams.

The Brighton midfielder popped up on the radar of numerous clubs around Europe following a breakout season in 2024/25.

At just 21 years old, the promising young player has recently emerged as one of the most exciting prospects in the Premier League over the past 12 months or so, and it appears Man United are leading the race to sign him.

Many around the club think the Cameroonian CDM could be the perfect fit for Ruben Amorim’s somewhat makeshift midfield at the moment; perfectly positioned to take the starting spot from an ageing Casemiro or an as-yet unproven Manuel Ugarte. Moreover, it’s now said United appeals to him.

Speaking on the most recent episode of The Athletic‘s ‘Talk of the Devils’ podcast, journalist Laurie Whitwell told his fellow co-hosts and listeners that, in addition to Brighton having already been contacted over a potential purchase earlier this month, attracting the youngster’s interest isn’t the issue.

Whitwell had already explained that the Seagulls would be setting a hefty and perhaps intentionally excessive asking price in a previous episode, as it is understood they would prefer not to sell him at all, with a figure of at least £100 million being floated around as the current rough estimate.

Given that Man United have already forked out over £200m on a selection of new signings – the most recent being striker Benjamin Šeško – the chances of him making the jump in this current window look slim, though it is thought there is still an eventual switch that could be done.

“Talks are continuing”, according to Whitwell. “There are obviously intermediaries working on behalf of United and the player [Baleba] as well, to see if Brighton would be open to this [a deal].

“Brighton are saying he’s not for sale, and there is quite a bit of scepticism at Manchester United as to whether this can be achieved, but still, it’s been totally shut down.

“That is leading me to believe that you never know, but I’m probably in the camp of it being unlikely. There are ways this can be sorted; a crucial point is the player – he’s keen on the move to Old Trafford.”

Whitwell goes on to detail that current players have been in touch to explain the “landscape” around the club amid this rebuild, reiterating that the environment is positive. However, Brighton boss Fabian Hürzeler seems pretty confident that the south coast club will hang on to him, at least for now.

Addressing the rumours with reporters, the German manager insisted, “I didn’t see any change. He seems to be in a very good place, enjoying it [the pre-season and training] with his team-mates.”

With that in mind, it’s more probable that Baleba could join the Red Devils next year, when he’s had yet another season to develop and prove himself in the English top flight, though his value will probably increase even further.

On the other hand, if Baleba does indeed want to swap his white and blue striped shirt for a red one, he could push for the negotiations progress, like new arrival and fellow compatriot Bryan Mbuemo did.

This is an outcome that could, in theory, benefit both teams, as not only are Brighton still considered a selling club, but with another EPL campaign under his belt, they could demand and even larger fee come summer 2026/January if Amorim is still desperately in need of a central solution.

Moreover, if Fabrizio Romano’s claims that personal terms “wouldn’t be a problem” and the rumblings of an imminent ‘£112m offer’ are true, he’d become the most expensive African player in history and possibly one of the best paid in the division.

You can watch the episode – one that also touches on the new so-called ‘Man United mantra’, which has even been printed on water bottles around Carrington – in full down below.

Aldi is back looking for another taste tester to send FREE crisps to

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Aldi is looking for a special someone to become its official crisp taster, and will send the lucky winner a bunch of bags to try for free.

Calling all self-confessed crisp connoisseurs, this one’s for you.

That’s right, Aldi is ready to make savoury snack food lovers’ dreams come true, as the supermarket retailer is back on the look-out for another official ‘Crisp Taster’ to join the team, especially after the inaugural search last year proved to be so popular with shoppers, amassing hundreds of applications.

The highly-anticipated return also follows interest from local celebrities last year too, with Manc actress Michelle Keegan declaring to her 7.5 million Instagram: “IS THIS TRUE @aldiuk? Because I am READY and available with lots of experience.”

Last summer, it was 39-year-old NHS worker George Critchley from Sheffield who became Aldi’s first-ever Official Crisp Taster… but now it’s your turn.

The successful applicant will receive a selection of Aldi’s most popular crisps to sample at home for free, including Aldi’s Specially Selected Lightly Sea Salted Hand Cooked Crisps, Specially Selected Mature Cheddar & Red Onion Hand Cooked Crisps, the Snackrite Delta Strips, and Snackrite Cheese Flavour Cheezios.  

All that’s required in return is a set of exclusive reviews rating the crisps’ taste, crunch, texture and appearance to help guide the supermarket’s Buying Team on potential future flavours. 

“After the success of last year with hundreds of entries, we welcome our shoppers feedback once again to make sure our latest products provide the quality, taste and price they deserve,” explained Julie Ashfield, who is the Chief Commerical Officer at Aldi UK.

“Our range of crisps are going down a treat this year, so launching the role for a new Crisp Taster is the perfect way to encourage innovative ideas and delicious products onto shelves.”

Fancy it then? To apply, you’ll just need to be aged 16 or over, a legal UK resident, and create a short application video, that’s no more than a minute long, explaining why you should be Aldi’s next ‘Crisp Taster’.

Applications are now open, with a closing deadline of Thursday 21 August.

You’ll need to share your application video via the email address [email protected], and you can find out more information on the official ‘Crisp Taster’ webpage here.
