Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hailed Manchester United colleague Wayne Rooney as "the perfect player" and believes his club's all-time leading scorer in Europe should be held in higher regard. Rooney's goal in the 4-0 Europa League win over Feyenoord on Thursday night was his 39th in continental competitions for United, a tally that saw him eclipse Ruud van Nistelrooy as the leading marksman in European games, and it also leaves him just one behind Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time haul of 249. His latest effort, a delicious dink over Brad Jones, came just five days after he vowed he was "not finished yet" as an England international following the publication of images of the 31-year-old, in Three Lions' gear, appearing worse for wear during the international break.

U.S . President-elect Donald Trump has tapped three conservative loyalists and Army veterans to lead his national security and law enforcement teams, including Senator Jeff Sessions for attorney general and Representative Mike Pompeo as CIA director, a transition official said on Friday. The official said retired Lieutenant General Mike Flynn was chosen as the president-elect's national security adviser, a position that does not require U.S. Senate confirmation. All three men have accepted Trump's offer, and the announcements will be made formally later on Friday, according to the transition team member, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Pompeo, 52, a third-term congressman from Kansas, was a surprise pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. He was on the House of Representatives intelligence and energy and commerce committees, as well as the committee investigating the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Pompeo has echoed Trump's critic...

A spokesman for Donald Trump insists he doesn't want to ban "all" Muslims from entering the United States despite the fact that his own campaign website still calls for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” "We never said 'all' Muslims," Trump's spokesman Steven Cheung emailed USA TODAY Thursday night. The president-elect's Muslim ban was brought back into the spotlight after the December statement disappeared off his website and then reappeared Thursday afternoon. Trump's stance on Muslim immigration has been unclear in recent months after Vice President-elect Mike Pence told CNN in October that he was no longer calling for a ban on Muslims. "Well, because it's not Donald Trump's position now," Pence said during an Oct. 6 appearance on CNN's New Day when he was asked why he was no longer critical about Trump's proposed Muslim ban. In December, Pence cal...

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump began a final, frenetic dash as the presidential campaign entered its last weekend, with the Democratic nominee defending her lead against a late effort by her Republican opponent. Clinton began Saturday with a flurry of visits to campaign offices, a rally in a torrential Florida downpour and a dramatic send-off at night by a sequin-wearing pop star and cannon blasts of confetti. “We are all working our hearts out in this last sprint of the election,” she said before introducing the singer Katy Perry in Philadelphia to a crowd of 10,000. “There are still people whose doors need to be knocked on.” Trump held a frenzied four events in two time zones in a single day. In Reno, Nevada, he was rushed off stage by Secret Service amid a mistaken threat and returned minutes later after a scuffle in the crowd....

Johannesburg – An embattled President Jacob Zuma put on a brave face on Saturday at his first public appearance since the release of fresh evidence of alleged corruption at the top of the ANC government. "I have spent a lot of time in jail. I am not scared of jail, I have been there," said Zuma, who under apartheid was jailed for 10 years on Robben Island with Nelson Mandela. During a speech to hundreds of ANC supporters in Dumbe, Kwazulu-Natal, Zuma accused the opposition of "using the courts to scare the ANC". "We are not going to be intimidated," he said. On Wednesday, the office of the public protector released a report on Zuma that fuelled further calls, some from within the ANC, for the president to resign. The investigations focused on accusations that Zuma had allowed the Guptas to have undue influence over government, including letting them choose some cabinet ministers. The report prompted the opposition to schedule a no-con...

Donald Trump appears at a campaign rally in Warren, Michigan.  REUTERS/Carlo Allegri Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called Democratic rival Hillary Clinton a threat to the country on Monday, saying that if she is elected a probe into her emails could shadow her entire term in office, as the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Clinton's lead narrowing slightly. "The investigation will last for years. The trial will probably start," Trump told a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "Nothing will get done. I can tell you, your jobs will continue to leave Michigan. Nothing’s going to get done.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday said it was investigating newly discovered emails that might relate to Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. Clinton on Monday again said she was confident that the FBI would not find anything problematic in her emails and would reach the same conclusion they did earlier...

Jose Mourinho has given his strongest hint that Manchester United want to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus by saying "you have smoke, you have fire". The Red Devils are reported to have agreed  a world record £100m transfer for the 23-year-old Frenchman. Pogba left Old Trafford in 2012 as a 19-year-old, with the Italian side paying a tribunal fee of just £800,000. "I am not going to try to make you naive and believe that we are not trying for one player," said Mourinho. The Portuguese manager has made three signings so far this summer, bringing in defender Eric Bailly from Villarreal, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
