Dream Team is back and better than ever ahead of the 2023/24 season. The Sun’s much-loved fantasy game has undergone an impressive makeover and one of the most exciting new elements is the introduction of captains. Each Gameweek, gaffers will select one of their players as captain with the chosen individual having their score doubled. For example, if you select Mohamed Salah (£7m) as captain and he earns two points against Newcastle at the weekend and then eight points at the expense of Toulouse midweek in the Europa League, his Gameweek total would be 20 points. But be warned, your…

These are the amazing photographs when a giant crocodile eats an entire goose with one swift bite. The Egyptian goose was taking a drink at a watering hole inside the Kruger National Park in South Africa, completely unaware of the danger lurking beneath the water. Photographer Gideon Jordaan from Pretoria was following some hippos when the unexpected attack happened. In a fraction of a second, the crocodile pounced, capturing the goose between its powerful jaws, crushing the helpless bird. Commenting on his good fortune, Mr Jordaan said: ‘I didn’t see the croc before the strike but once he had caught…

At the turn of the 1970s, the great design rivalry between Bertone and Pininfarina reached an all-time high, with both companies seemingly determined to pull out all the stops to outdo one another. Bertone had perhaps opened the hostilities with the Marzal and with the first “wedge-shaped” supercar concept, the mighty Alfa Romeo Carabo. Italdesign had joined the fray with the Bizzarrini Manta and the Alfa Romeo Iguana. Pininfarina had replied using all its Ferrari firepower with the striking P5, the 512S berlinetta and the Modulo. The latter had caused quite a stir at the Geneva Motor Show in March…

The MiG-105 was a space plane that was originally earmarked to play a starring role in the Soviet’s aborted attempt to create an orbital launch system. The Spiral project was incredibly ambitious in scope, aiming to produce a manned orbital vehicle that could, via a three-stage process, transport men as well as cargo to the upper echelons of the earth’s atmosphere. Although the project was doomed from the start because of the reluctance of the government to fund such a complex and multi-year affair, many of the experimental leftovers were put to good use as test beds, assisting in the…

The siblings truly defied the odds by welcoming four baby girls in just three months. If you thought the likelihood of having twins was slim (about one in 250), then the chance of two siblings both giving birth to twins would be improbable in the extreme – let alone within weeks of each other. However, that is exactly what happened to sisters Megan O’Brien, 29, and Sara Seyler, 32, who both gave birth to identical twin girls within the last year. Younger sister Megan had Lilah and Josie just three months before Sara followed suit and gave birth to Lennon…

Elsewhere it was a cruel twist of fate for youngster Kobbie Mainoo who was handed a…

In the latest share, striker Marcus Rashford has revealed MU’s “implicit rules” in the dressing room. Last season, Man United made significant changes under coach Erik ten Hag.
