MANCHESTER UNITED fans have begged Ruben Amorim to start whizzkid Chido Obi from now on.

Fans were all on the same wavelength about the 17-year-old after his performance in United’s 2-2 dramatic draw with Everton on Saturday.

Obi replaced Rasmus Hojlund in the 70th minute when United were 2-0 down.

First-half goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure left Rio Ferdinand feeling “embarrassed” with his former club.

But the introductions of Alejandro Garnacho and Obi brought a much needed change of energy and impetus.

Bruno Fernandes equalised with a free-kick just two minutes after Obi’s entrance, before Manuel Ugarte‘s volley levelled things soon after.

United looked far more threatening in the final embers after a shocking first hour.

And hundreds of United fans have thanked Obi for “changing the game”.

One suppoter wrote: “I wish I was joking but Chido Obi did more than Hojlund in terms of linking up play.”

A second said: “Obi just provided more than Hojlund has all season.”

Another quipped: “Obi actually changed the result for us. He needs to start over Hojlund for the foreseeable.”

A third said: “Hojlund has got to hold the bench. Chido Obi should be given a chance and a run of games.”

While one more noted: “Would start Obi against Ipswich on Wednesday.”

A final fan added: ” A 17 year old academy kid is better than £72m Hojlund .”

Hojlund had just 12 touches, completed zero shots at Jordan Pickford and completed just SEVEN passes.

The Dane lost eight duels before he was hauled off after another disastrous afternoon.

By contrast, Obi appeared mature beyond his years in his second Prem cameo – after getting the final four minutes at Spurs last Sunday.

The former Arsenal wonderkid had as many touches as Hojlund – despite playing 70 minutes less.

Meanwhile, the story of the match was Everton‘s overturned penalty in stoppage time.

United star Harry Maguire appeared to have pulled down Ashley Young in the area.

Referee Andy Madley pointed straight at the spot but VAR felt differently and advised him to check the pitchside monitor.

After a lengthy review, the hosts were denied a late penalty and the Red Devils found themselves breathing a sigh of relief.

Amorim’s side remain 15th in the Premier League table and are one point the Toffees.

IF you’re in the market for new gym gear but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, Primark has just the thing.

One shopper heaped on the praise for the chain’s workout sets, that she dubbed Gym Shark dupes.

In her viral video, TikTok user Chloe Mitchell (@glowybychloe) showed her 495,000 followers the gym buys she picked up at Primark.

She explained that collection “looks incredible” and pointed out the “Gym Shark dupes”.

Chloe headed straight for the matching workout sets, which she said she had her eye on.

She selected a pair of dark brown high-waisted leggings, which were available for just £11.

Similar style workout leggings are available from Gym Shark for £50.

The TikToker selected a few different sports bras and tops to match the budget leggings.

She praised the low price points, commenting on how “nice” the items looked.

Chloe joked that the fitness collection in Primark was like “gym heaven.”

She also picked up a £16 zip-up jacket, which she later reviewed and dubbed her favourite find from the workout gear.

According to the fashion fan, the jacket was “good quality” and perfected the “sucky-in feeling”.

“Feel how soft they are,” she encouraged her camera man as she stopped to admire various items.

She also picked up a pair of gripped socks to wear to her reformer pilates classes.

Chloe joked that a baby pink gym bag at Primark was “giving Pilates princess.”

Her followers shared their thoughts on the collection in the comments section.

“I got my gym stuff from that Primark! And go to the gym opposite,” wrote one viewer.

“The leggings have drawstring in them, they are fabulous.”

“I have bought the shorts and the T-shirts, and zip-ups,” said another Primark fan.

“I’ve got the dark brown flares, I love them, [they] fit perfectly,” commented a third person.

“The leggings aren’t great! They don’t come high enough and I spent whole time on the treadmill holding them up,” shared another follower.

“The gym jackets are so comfy and look amazing on,” wrote one commenter.

“They look nice but never fit properly,” said another TikTok user.

CRUISE line giant Royal Caribbean has revealed a new ship with a twist launching in Europe next summer.

Pinned as one of the world’s biggest cruise ships, the vessel boasts the biggest on-site waterpark at sea ever.

The Legend of the Seas offers the largest waterpark seen at sea[/caption]

Some 7,000 passengers will get the chance to enjoy a range of slides, a theatre, and an ice rink – all within walking distance of their bedroom.

Royal Carribean’s third Icon Class cruise ship will be named Legend of the Seas and is ready to set sail in August 2026.

The new Legend of the Seas can weigh up to a phenomenal 250,800 gross tons in size and a whopping 1198ft long.

Royal Caribbean‘s chief marketing officer Kara Wallace told Royal Caribbean Blog that they’re focussing on hospitality for the new liner.

She said: “The Icon Class as a name really sets a really high bar…so we needed a third name that really fit with that.

“Legend is, not only fitting of the class, but an homage to everything that came before it.

“This ship truly has lived up to all of the hype and then some.”

The highly anticipated cruise ship will first set sail around the Mediterranean, and then head to Florida, and Royal Caribbean fans are already queuing up to book their spots.

Travel agencies have been inundated with date requests and price quotes, with holidaymakers keen to splash their cash on the unique cruise.

The colossal waterpark, named Thrill Island, will feature a skywalk, ropes course and thrill ride.

Royal Caribbean describes the category six waterpark as having “record-breaking slides” and a freefall waterslide at sea.

With a range of rides including Storm Chasers, Hurricane Hunters and Storm Surge raft slides, the entertainment has certainly ramped up from its previous models.

An aerial view of the ship shows different coloured tube slides winding above the top deck with too many pools to count.

However, not all activities are adventure-oriented, with a swim-up bar named Swim & Tonic available for those keen for something a little more relaxed.

Adults who want some alone time can check out the Hideaway, where there is also a swanky infinity pool overlooking the ocean.

Kara continued: “It’s delivering at the highest levels of guest satisfaction that we’ve ever seen across our brands, across the industry, and across all of hospitality.

“And that’s really by far and wide margin.”

The Legend of the Seas won’t be an exact replica of its predecessor, according the Royal Caribbean.

The dining room will have a Hollywood film and the series of entertainment will adapt each month.

If you’ve worked up an appetite from the aerial challenge you can also saunter over to grab some Japanese street food and end the night at the supper club.

Travelgoers are already impressed with the services already offered at Caribbean Cruises but it appears the new, bigger, vessel is taking it up a notch.

Thrilled customers have taken to Facebook to share their excitement.

One holidaymaker wrote: “I love the huge ships, so much to do.

“There are so many quiet spots to get away from it all, a great mixture for everyone.

Another cruise fan commented: “Very cool!

“Legend looks a lot different than the old Legend!”

A third enthusiastic customer responded: “We did Icon of the Seas in October and loved it so much that we’re going again in April.

“We also have Star of the Seas booked for December and are ready to book Legend next.”

LUCKY England somehow survived a Calcutta Cup ordeal to get their first win over Scotland since the pandemic – and keep their Six Nations title hopes alive.

Finn Russell’s will spend much of the next fortnight thinking about the missed conversion, pulled wide of the uprights after Duhan van der Merwe gave him chance to win it, with seconds left in normal time.

But while Scotland scored three tries to England’s one, Russell failed with all three of his kicks.

And with England’s citizens Smith – Marcus and Fin – nailing four out of four between them, it meant England held out for a precious, if unlikely, victory.

Steve Borthwick’s side had been at sixes and sevens for almost all of the first half as Scotland, unbeaten at Twickenham since 2017, were rampant.

After Tommy Freeman burrowed over from close range to briefly put England in front after Ben White had scored for the Scots, it was one-way traffic.

Van der Merwe was causing mayhem, with partners in crime Tom Jordan and Huw Jones winning the midfield battlehands down.

The South African-born Van der Merwe, who loves tearing England to pieces, was involved in both the tries as the home side were bulldozed into the turf.

That opener, with White applying the final touch, came after van der Merwe eluded Ollie Lawrence to set Jordan away down the left.

And while Marcus Smith’s conversion from the Freeman try – crashing over from Alex Mitchell’s pass – put England ahead after Finn Russell missed his conversion, it was a signal for Scotland to take control.

England resisted, defending on the edge but teetering on the brink, undone from a line-out move involving the entire Scotland back line and finished by Jones, barging through Freeman in the corner.

But a second missed conversion by Russell meant the gap was just three points and when Marcus Smith was handed a simple chance in front of the posts on 55 minutes it was, somehow, all square.

It was the key momentum shift and England rode the wave as Scotland ran out of gas.

Another penalty, 35 yards out, gave Smith the chance to kick England in front for the first time in more than an hour.

Then, when Scotland were penalised on half-way, Fin Smith had the distance to extend the lead and rouse the Allianz Stadium crowd.

They were silenced in the last minute, van der Merwe scoring his traditional try against England but Russell missed again.

And when, four minutes into the red zone, England found a way to muscle the ball out of play, they had stolen a victory they scarcely, indeed did not, deserve.

CHARLOTTE Crosby’s mum has moved in with her after her fiancé was forced to work away from home.

Just weeks after the birth of her second child, her partner Jake Ankers has had to go on the road with one of his clients.

Charlotte, 34, confirmed the arrival of her daughter on social media at the start of February.

She named her second daughter Pixi Cecilia Ankers as she showed multiple snaps of her hubby-to-be.

He was pictured sharing sweet cuddles with both of his children as he cradled his newborn.

However, the former Geordie Shore star took to social media with an update on her home life.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner shared a snap of her older daughter Alba as she was held by her grandmother on her Instagram story.

Charlotte then revealed that she called in reinforcements for help as her husband returned to work with his chauffeur business.

She was dressed in a simple white t-shirt with the words “femme era,” emblazoned on it.

Her post began: “These two melt my heart,” alongside a red heart emoji.

“My mams having a couple of nights at mine a week, as Jake’s on the road on tour with one of his clients!”

She continued: “And I couldn’t be more thankful for all of her help the past couple of weeks!

“Also she basically lives in pepper now, if you looked up @peppergirlsclub in the dictionary you will see my mum lmao.”

This comes after the couple were left terrified just weeks ago after her £1million home was burgled – while they were upstairs.

Jake, 33, revealed on social media that a gang of masked robbers armed with machetes stormed inside their stunning mansion.

The Sun later told how the pair have taken extra measures to make sure that they are free from danger.

AMANDA Holden has wowed viewers once again in a sizzling look for the first episode of the hit talent show this series.

After promising “thigh splits and cleavage”, Amanda, 54, has delivered, despite risking more Ofcom complaints.

On Saturday (February 22), Britain’s Got Talent made a triumphant comeback to our television screens.

Appearing on our screens in a khaki green off-the-shoulder frock, Amanda set tongues wagging as she looked sexier and more sultry than ever.

The dress that Amanda rocked was khaki green and comprised of two different fabrics.

The upper part of the dress, which was off-the-shoulder and boasted a plunging neckline, was a slinky fabric.

Meanwhile, the skirt section of the dress was more of a satin material.

The frock that Mandy donned was ultra short, with the stunning judge showing off her toned pins in the process.

Back in 2017, Amanda sparked a record of 663 Ofcom complaints with an outfit she rocked on the show.

Despite her racy looks sparking outrage among viewers, Amanda has promised some sizzling ensembles for this series of BGT.

“I haven’t even thought about my semi-finals outfits yet.

“But I constantly scroll through Instagram when I’m on car journeys and bombard my stylist with loads of ideas,” she went on.

“It’s thigh splits and cleavage,” she cackled in a chat with us ahead of the season premiere.

She added: “I have a whole ‘t*t committee’ [in the production team] that watches everything [to prevent ‘accidents’].

“Hopefully they’ll keep an eye on Bruno’s t*ts as well, because I think he shows far more than I do at the moment!”

EYESHADOW palettes got me through uni, but then I settled into a make-up routine and stopped using them.

But there’s now a new generation of compact palettes, so I put three to the test.

BUDGET – NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette, £15.99, cultbeauty.co.uk

NYX

The neutral shades are slightly more pigmented and easier to apply than the vivid brights, which take some building up[/caption]

NYX Professional Makeup is one of my favourite high-street brands.

I still remember the day they launched in the UK when I was a teen.

There’s a generous 16 shades in each of the four variations of this palette, which means each one comes in at just under a pound – great value.

Each has matte, shimmer and glitter shadows, making it incredibly versatile.

The neutral shades are slightly more pigmented and easier to apply than the vivid brights, which take some building up and don’t wear as long, but that is reflected in the price.

MID-RANGE – Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows, £24, harveynichols.com

Fenty

I found the matte shadows quite patchy and the glitter in the shimmer shadows was chunky[/caption]

This is the smallest set of the three tested, which makes it great for travel or switching up your make-up while you are on the go.

But it also contains the fewest shades, with just six to choose from inside the compact – although I think that’s plenty for the average person, especially given there are both matte and glittery shades.

There are also ten different colour varieties to choose from, so you can pick one tailored to the shades you’ll use.

Unfortunately, I found the matte shadows quite patchy and the glitter in the shimmer shadows was chunky.

This means it takes a lot of time and patience to apply them effectively.

LUXURY – Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Palette Of Beautifying Eye Trends, £49, charlottetilbury.com

I’m pretty sure Charlotte Tilbury would account for the largest share of my make-up collection.

There are six variations to choose from, including bright purples, pinks and blues, as well as warm and cool neutrals in matte and shimmer finishes.

Sensual sunset is my favourite, with its super-pigmented warm orange and brown hues that blend out easily and make my eyes look brighter.

It contains everything I could ever need, and is my new go-to.

GETTING on the property ladder is never easy – and in the current climate, it’s becoming increasingly difficult.

Forking out for a deposit, mortgage fees, conveyancing, and all the rest of the financial faff can be a real strain on the old purse strings.

Butbargain hunters are in for a real treat as some of Scotland‘s cheapest properties are up for grabs for as little as £1000 – but there’s a catch.

Some of these homes do, however, fall firmly into the ‘fixer-upper’ category.

They’ll almost certainly put a roof over your head – but you might need to bring your own bucket for when it rains.
