Hargreaves insists on Amorim change for Arsenal; names Man Utd sub who should ‘walk into’ the team

Owen Hargreaves believes Ruben Amorim will have to change his Manchester United formation if they’re to get a result against Arsenal or other superior sides after their 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday,

Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring inside the opening minute at Old Trafford but United found themselves behind in the 23rd minute before a double from Rasmus Hojlund ensured all three points for the Red Devils.

Amorim is famed for his 3-4-3 system and he again opted for his favoured formation, this time playing Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes in midfield with Mason Mount and Garnacho behind Hojlund.

But Hargreaves doesn’t think Amorim currently has the personnel to play two in midfield against the top teams ahead of their clash with Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday.

“I think they’ve got a lot of good players. Do they have the players capable of winning the Premier League or Champions League? Probably not. That’s going to take time to sort the recruitment out,” Hargreaves told TNT Sports.

“The most important thing is that they get results. Obviously Everton at the weekend is a tough game but at home you’d expect them [United] to win that game.

“Tough fixtures, especially the Arsenal one coming up after that, but they need to find a way to get results. Today they didn’t play brilliantly but they found a way to win the game which is the most important thing.

“I don’t think he has the personnel that he had at Sporting.

“I think if you’re going to play two in there [midfield], they need to be two super-athletes and cover the distances.

“I’m not sure they have that as such. I think they’ve got some really good players, different players but he might have to tweak it that maybe one of the No.10s drops in and one of the wing-backs gets a little bit higher for the width.

“But I think playing two in there against an Arsenal or a [Manchester] City, I think that’s going to be really, really difficult.

“I think it’s a work in progress, we need to be patient but we’re getting there.”

Hargreaves also believes Kobbie Mainoo, who is yet to feature in either of Amorim’s games as manager on his return from injury, will play a key role in United’s midfield going forward.

“It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Kobbie Mainoo, such a special young player, you’d think he’d kind of almost walk into that midfield,” Hargreaves said.

“Ugarte I thought played really well today, there are a lot of people who are going to get opportunities.

“It was nice to see Hojlund step up and score some goals. He’s a super talented young man, I think there’s so much potential in him and that’s the good thing about Ruben Amorim, he’s brilliant with young players, we saw what he did with Viktor Gyokeres, I’m sure he could do that with Rasmus Hojlund as well.

“There are so many different options to come. It’ll just be exciting to get [Leny] Yoro back fit, [Luke] Shaw back fit, [Noussair] Mazraoui plays amazing every time he plays, there’s a lot of potential here.”

Fire at the Spaceport: Japan suspends testing of Epsilon S rocket

A fire breaks out at the Tanegashima Space Center test site during the testing of the Epsilon S rocket engine. JAXA has temporarily suspended testing and is investigating the cause of the incident, with no information on injuries.

The Japanese space agency JAXA has temporarily suspended testing of the Epsilon S rocket engine after a fire broke out at the test site at the Tanegashima Space Center. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

Details

There is currently no information on injuries or material damage. JAXA representatives said that the situation in the test area is being assessed and the cause of the incident is being investigated.

The previous failure to test the Epsilon S engine has already caused a delay in the launch of satellites and the implementation of the Japanese space program. The new incident may become another challenge to JAXA's ambitious plans to develop national space technologies.

The Epsilon S rocket is being developed to launch a new generation of satellites and participate in international space projects. However, regular technical failures could jeopardize the timing of these programs.

Oil depot burning in Russia’s Rostov Oblast amid drone attack, local media reports

Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being updated.

A large fire has engulfed an oil depot in Russia's Rostov Oblast overnight on Nov. 29, local media reported.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing large clouds of smoke over the FDKU Atlas oil depot in the Kamensk-Shakhtinsky District of Rostov Oblast. Videos of the fire posted on various Telegram channels appear to show a large blaze engulfing the night sky.

The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the location of reported fire. Ukraine's military has not yet commented on the reported attack.

Ahead of the start of the blaze, acting Rostov Oblast Governor Yuri Slyusar claimed Russian air defenses intercepted 30 Ukrainian drones in the northwest of the region. The governor added that emergency services are "extinguishing a large fire at an industrial site," without specifying the location.

Slyusar also claimed two houses were damaged in the Masalovka and Dyachkino communities amid the drone attack.

Ukraine routinely strikes Russian oil bases and weapons depots in an attempt to diminish Russia's fighting power in its war against Ukraine.

Ukrainian strikes have targeted weapons storage facilities, military bases, and oil depots in Rostov Oblast in an attempt to slow Russian advances in Eastern Ukraine and pressure Russians to call for an end to the war.

Ukrainian drones previously struck the FDKU Atlas oil facility in August, a military intelligence (HUR) source confirmed to the Kyiv Independent.

In recent months Ukraine has tried to move Russia's war away from its own territory, striking targets deeper inside Russia. On Oct. 31, a Ukrainian drone struck an oil refinery in the city of Ufa in Russia's Bashkortostan Republic, which lies some 1,500 kilometers from the Russia-Ukraine border.

Fossil fuels are the primary drivers of the Russian economy and the main source of revenue for the Kremlin's war machine. Despite Western sanctions, Russia still provides oil and gas to other countries around the world, primarily India and China.

Russian soldiers suspected of executing 4 more Ukrainian POWs near Pokrovsk

Four unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) were apparently shot and killed by Russian forces in Donetsk Oblast earlier this November, adding to the five previously reported executions of Ukrainian soldiers, the Prosecutor General's Office said on Nov. 28.

According to the statement, Russian troops captured four Ukrainian defenders during an assault in the Pokrovsk sector on Nov. 22. After forcing the soldiers to surrender, Russian forces are said to have shot them with automatic weapons.

In total nine Ukrainian POWs were executed by Russia in the village of Petrivka. It was not immediately clear if the two reported executions are directly connected, or whether they occurred at the same time.

"The deliberate killing of prisoners of war constitutes a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions and is classified as a grave international crime," the Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement.

Reports of murders, torture, and ill-treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war are received regularly by Ukrainian authorities and have spiked in recent months. Most cases were recorded in the embattled Donetsk Oblast.

Last week, the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office reported two other Ukrainian POWs killed by Russian troops in the Pokrovsk sector.

Ahead of the most recent reported cases, law enforcement officers previously said they were investigating 53 criminal proceedings over the executions of 177 Ukrainian soldiers, while 37 proceedings of 109 executions were registered in 2024 alone, the Prosecutor General's Office said on Nov. 22.

Norway and Poland will jointly defend a key hub of military aid for Ukraine

Norway has agreed to help protect Rzeszow-Jasenka airport in Poland, through which 90% of Western aid to Ukraine passes. The decision was made within the framework of NATO cooperation against the background of growing security risks.

Norway has agreed to assume part of the responsibility for protecting the main transit hub of foreign military aid to Ukraine passing through Poland. This is reported by Bloomberg, reports UNN.

Details

Polish prime minister Donald Tusk announced that Norway will help protect this important facility within the framework of cooperation between NATO member countries. We are talking about Rzeszow-Yasenka airport, which provides delivery of up to 90% of Western cargo for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The decision comes amid growing risks of foreign interference that forced Poland to step up security measures in the region earlier this year. Rzeszow, located less than 100 km from the Ukrainian border, has become a critical point of logistics support for Ukraine. Its robust protection is key to maintaining the stability of military aid supplies

recall

Earlier, UNN reported that Poland provided Ukraine with military assistance worth 3.23 billion euros, including more than 350 tanks and other equipment. Ukraine has allocated 4.91% of its GDP to support Ukraine and refugees, which is the largest indicator among donors.
