Image
Manchester United's shaky start to the 2023/24 season continued on Saturday with a 2-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur. The Red Devils rode their luck a little to see off Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night at Old Trafford, but that fortune dried up and ran out in north London. Erik ten Hag's men were wasteful, particularly in the first half, while they were denied a penalty despite Cristian Romero appearing to handle the ball in the penalty area. Once Spurs took the lead through Pape Matar Sarr shortly after half-time, Man Utd struggled to maintain their upward trajectory. The Game was settled once Lisandro Martinez rolled the ball beyond his own goalkeeper in Andre Onana and into his own net. Here were Man Utd's best and worst performers, courtesy of 90min's full player ratings.

The NBA has made a slight tweak to its annual All-Star Draft. In past years, the draft has come weeks before the All-Star Game , allowing player s and fans to know who was playing for which team well in advance. That's going to change this season. The league announced on TNT Tuesday that this season, the draft will be held live at 7:30 p.m. ET,  just ahead of tipoff of the Feb. 19 All-Star Game .  The mechanics of the draft won't change.
