Joachim Andersen, a Crystal Palace defender, has warned Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund ahead of their Carabao Cup match on Tuesday.

Andersen said he is confident that he can handle his fellow Danish international, despite Hojlund’s impressive start to his career in England.

“It is going to be fun to play against him,” Andersen said in an interview with the club’s website. “He is a young lad with a good character, a lot of energy and really good attributes. He is quick, he’s strong and he has a lot of energy.

“It’s not easy to play against a player like him and I think his start [in England] has been really good. He scored last week so I am really happy for him.

“Hopefully he will score a lot of goals for our national team… but I think I can handle him in the games we are going to play against each other.”

Hojlund, 20, joined Manchester United from Atalanta in the summer for a fee of up to £72million. He scored his first goal for the club in the 4-3 defeat at Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The Carabao Cup match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United will take place at Old Trafford on Tuesday, September 26.

Al-Hilal forward Neymar and influencer Bruna Biancardi have officially ended their relationship. This decision comes a few weeks after they celebrated the birth of their first child, Mavie, born on October 7. Despite the initial joy surrounding the expansion of their family, rumors about the status of their relationship began circulating, with speculation about Neymar’s alleged infidelity.

Addressing these rumors on her Instagram story, Biancardi stated, “This is a private matter, but since I am often associated with news, suspicions, and jokes, I would like to inform you that I am not in a relationship. We are Mavie’s parents, and that is the reason for our relationship. I hope you won’t associate me with the news so often anymore. Thank you.”

This development follows earlier strains in their relationship, including compromising footage of Neymar partying with other women that emerged earlier this year.

Paris Saint-Germain’s captain, Kylian Mbappe, expressed dissatisfaction with Newcastle United following their 1-1 draw in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night in Paris. Mbappe asserted that Newcastle had little to offer and believed that PSG should have emerged victorious in the Champions League match.

Although Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead in the first half, the Premier League side couldn’t secure the win. Tino Livramento’s handball in injury time led to Mbappe equalizing from the penalty spot.

Despite PSG’s dominance with thirty-one attempts on goal, Newcastle United failed to register a shot on target after Isak’s opening goal in the 24th minute.

In his post-match interview, Mbappe criticized Newcastle’s approach to the game, stating, “It is frustrating because we dominated this team from start to finish. They have nothing. We knew it was their game to have nothing, but we had to finish our chances better. We had too many chances for a Champions League match. It’s not the structure or the organisation; it’s us, the players. We need to be much more diligent in front of goal.”
