Man United in crisis: The factors that have led to Ten Hag’s bad start to the season

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 08:55:43 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United fans waited patiently outside Old Trafford late into Tuesday evening.Even after a latest loss in an ever-worsening season they wanted to see manager Erik ten Hag, hoping for an autograph or selfie with the Dutch coach. And despite the Manchester rain, he worked his way along a line of supporters, posed for pictures and signed whatever paraphernalia was placed in front of him. His team may have been greeted with boos as the final whistle blew on a dispiriting 3-2 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League — a sixth defeat in 10 games this season — but there was no sign of blame being directed toward him from these fans. Ten Hag clearly still has credit in the bank after his first year at United, when he led the club back into the Champions League and to a first trophy in six years, the English League Cup. But his predecessors in the decade since United great Alex Ferguson retired could tell him just how quickly things can unravel at a sto...

Phone didn't get the Emergency Alert System test? This may be why

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 08:55:43 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – A nationwide test of the country's Emergency Alert System Wednesday went out to TVs, radios and phones – at least most phones. The test was a joint effort by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC), making sure they have ways to alert the country in case of national emergencies. Those who received the test heard their phone blare or felt it vibrate for a few moments starting at around 2:18 p.m. Eastern Time. (The test was scheduled to start at 2:20 p.m., and end half an hour later, but the alerts started a couple minutes early.)All major U.S. wireless providers that participate in the emergency alert system transmitted the national test to their customers. If your phone didn't go off, it may simply be because it was turned off, on airplane mode, or out of range of an active cell tower. MAP: Will you be able to see the 2023 annular eclipse in Colorado? You may have also been on a call at the time. "The national tes...
