Patrice Evra may leave United to Juventus

Juventus are closing in on the signing of Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra, with United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward saying a others might be going soon as well.
Evra signed a one-year contract extension with United eight weeks ago, but the defender has since been allowed to leave Old Trafford.
The 33-year-old's move to Turin had been put in doubt following the resignation of manager Antonio Conte, but his replacement Massimiliano Allegri was keen to continue the club's pursuit of the player.
Evra, who has been at United for eight years, is on holiday at the moment, but Press Association Sport understands he could be announced as a Juve player on Monday. Evra will not be the last player to leave Old Trafford this summer.
When asked whether there would be any other player departures, Woodward told MUTV on Sunday: "Yes, I think so.
"The manager makes that decision and a few players have already gone and there may well be a few others that go.
"It's also worth commenting that we're not in Europe this year (so) there's less games, maybe the manager takes the view that he wants a tighter squad.
"If you do the analysis over last year, Liverpool performed extremely well with a smaller number of players but that's a decision for the manager."
Woodward has become tired of seeing targets slip through his fingers.
"I want to stop seeing the best players going to other clubs in Spain, I want us to stand out as the best club in the world," he said. "We'll do absolutely everything we can to achieve that."

Malaysia Airlines: Crash site neglected as bodies decompose

Debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 lay splayed for miles across silent rural fields in eastern Ukraine on Saturday. Two days after the jet crashed, some bodies remained strapped in seat belts -- wearing inflight headphones.

Conspicuously missing at the crash site near Torez were international forensic workers needed to secure and sort the wreckage, and a recovery crew to identify and remove with dignity the bodies of the 298 people who were on board MH17.

A few things have been moved. Luggage was stacked in piles; mementos, children's toys were handled. Most everything is unguarded, there for the curious -- or for the taking.

But the debris field hasn't changed much overall since it slammed into place from about 30,000 feet in the air. Not like it would change, if investigators had a chance to cordon it off and catalog it.

A round piece of wreckage the size of a small garage -- part of the cabin perhaps -- stood tilted over personal effects of people heading for vacation. Fields were bestrewn with novels, beach sandals, guide books and colorful carry-on bags.

And all around them were the bodies of their owners, some dressed in shorts and other vacation wear.

 

 

With leaders around the world calling for a swift, thorough and professional investigation, in eastern Ukraine, a small group of local government workers camping near the wreckage emerge from their tents in the mornings.

They split up the crash site territory in an orderly manner to look for bodies, said journalist Noah Sneider, who visited the site. The emergency workers mark spots where they find human remains with stakes and tie white rags around them.

There are so many of them. Bodies lie by the roadside, some in fields, some intertwined with parts of the aircraft. And they are spread out so far.

"Half of them are so mangled, you couldn't identify them," Sneider said.

Khloe Kardashian in Bathtube With Scott Disick

Khloe Kardashian shared a picture of her and Kourtney Kardashian's longtime boyfriend, Scott Disick, taking a bubble bath together. She captioned the picture posted on July 18, "Lifeguard on duty! #SurfBoardSurfBoard #PrivatePartySwim #TheLord #TheLady."

In the picture, Khloe and Scott were sitting in a bathtub filled with bubble, while a microphone was placed in front of Khloe. Khloe smiled while Scott made a funny face and jokingly pointed at the camera. Khloe appeared to be sporting a red lifeguard swimsuit, giving a peace sign with her hand. Meanwhile, Scott wore an orange life jacket on his neck.

Nobody knew where Kourtney was at that time. The picture was seemingly taken during the filming of "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons" because Khloe and Kourtney are currently filming the show.

Scott and Khloe's older sister are currently expecting their third child together. Scott and Kourtney already have two kids together, 4-year-old Mason and 2-year-old Penelope.

Meanwhile, Khloe is currently having a relationship with French Montana. Previously for her 30th birthday, French gave Khloe a new Jeep and jewels worth of $30,000.

Transfer Talk: Drogba could return to blues, Di Maria to PSG

Drogba

We're not sure if it would be of the sentimental variety or if this is just a second go round that's tantamount to a marriage of convenience. But one thing's for sure, the rumours surrounding a second bro-mance between Jose Mourinho and Didier Drogba aren't going away.
On the surface, Drogba's return makes sense. Chelsea is the side that the Ivory Coast national had his best success under the guidance of Mourinho the first time around. Plus, the lack of pop in the attack was a well-documented complaint from Mou all last Premier League season, though the arrival of Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge should help plenty on that front.
Drogba, for his part, looked somewhat of his old self in Brazil -- physically dominant in the air and his touch seemed magic as an appearance off the bench versus Japan coincided with his team's two decisive goals. Drogba's contract with Galatasaray is expired, so needless to say we'll keep close tabs on this one.

Di Maria

Paris Saint-Germain might feel like they're holding damaged goods after high-priced transfer David Luiz looked shaky both on and off the pitch during the 2014 World Cup. But the possible arrival of Angel di Maria, rumoured to be moving to Paris on a five-year deal worth roughly 8 million euros per season. The Argentine national shone in Brazil before getting injured and missing the team's final two games -- the semis and the final versus Germany. The transfer cost to Real Madrid for Di Maria is reported to be 50 million euros.
