'I see selfish players' - Conte furious after Spurs let lead slip at SouthamptonTottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has called on manager Antonio Conte to be "more precise" following the Italian's rant on Saturday.Reports suggestexternal-link the 53-year-old, who has returned to Italy during the international break, will be sacked."I think we've all seen it [Conte's comments]," said Hojbjerg."He gave a very honest and very open press conference. It is because he is not satisfied. You don't do that if you've reached the quarter-final of the Champions League and if you're in the semi-final of the FA Cup."It comes from the fact that, unfortunately, we did not get the results we as a team and club wanted. We are still where we want and need to be in the Premier League. But yes, it's hard."I understand that if you want to be successful as a team, you need 11 men who are…

Sir Jim Ratcliffe: Prospective owner visits Manchester UnitedProspective owners of Manchester United have been told they have until 21:00 GMT on Wednesday to submit second, revised bids for the club as the takeover saga accelerates. Just how strict this deadline is, and whether any other bidders emerge, remains unclear. But BBC Sport has learned that United officials met eight different potential investors over a 10-day period of high-level meetings recently, and confidence is high that several could make formal offers.It could mean that a 'preferred bidder' is declared by Raine - the investment bank conducting the sale - very soon, with it then granted exclusivity on the more thorough due diligence process that would take place. It means the only two publicly-declared bids - Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim and Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe - will have had just a few days to consider the data and information they discovered…

Written by Lianne Kolirin, CNNMurals believed to be nearly 400 years old have been discovered at an apartment in northern England following a kitchen renovation.Luke Budworth, 29, his partner Hazel Mooney, 26, and their dog Leonard had temporarily moved out of the one-bedroom apartment in the cathedral city of York while their new kitchen was being fitted in December. Then Budworth received a call from the contractors. He told CNN Monday: "In a very casual way they said, 'did you know there's a painting behind here?'"By the time Budworth went to take a look, the new kitchen cupboards were on the wall, covering the frieze -- the only evidence of the discovery was a blurry picture taken by the fitters. Though disappointed, Budworth, a research data analyst at the University of Leeds, suspected that a similar "bit of paneling" on the other side of the open plan living area may…

CNN  —  TikTok now has 150 million monthly active users in the United States, CEO Shou Chew confirmed on Tuesday, in a clear attempt to highlight the platform’s vast and growing reach in the country amid renewed calls for a ban. “That’s almost half the US coming to TikTok to connect, to create, to share, to learn, or just to have some fun,” Chew said in a TikTok video on Tuesday. The figure also includes about five million businesses that use TikTok to reach customers, Chew said. The new disclosure comes just days before Chew is scheduled to appear before a Congressional committee to defend the fate of the app in the United States. A growing number of lawmakers in the United States and abroad have raised national security concerns about the short-form video app because of TikTok’s ties to China through its parent company, ByteDance. TikTok acknowledged to CNN…

Jerusalem CNN  —  Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich denied the existence of a Palestinian people or nationhood over the weekend, prompting a rebuke from the United States just weeks after calling for a Palestinian town to be “erased.” Smotrich, a Jewish nationalist, argued that the idea of Palestinian nationhood was invented in the past century in response to the Zionist movement to found modern-day Israel. “Who was the first Palestinian king? What language do the Palestinians have? Was there ever a Palestinian currency? Is there a Palestinian history or culture? Nothing. There is no such thing as a Palestinian people,” Smotrich said at a speech in Paris. US National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby on Monday objected to the comments, saying they would not help to calm tensions in the region. “We utterly object to that kind of language. And It’s extremely unhelpful to – again – trying to…
