Former Man Utd star Juan Mata makes history with move into MLS as he takes major step towards career after playing

However, the 36-year-old has now taken to social media to announce he would be investing into America’s newest top flight franchise who will be joining the league in 2025 as the 30th club.

A statement on his Instagram said: “Really happy to announce that I’m a partner at the newest and most special franchise in the MLS!”

The club’s own announcement on the move also revealed how the Spaniard has made history by becoming the first active player to hold an ownership stake in Major League Soccer.

Mata is now also in illustrious company with Inter Miami owner David Beckham as only the second international player to be involved in MLS ownership, according to the club.

The Spaniard added: “Joining San Diego FC as a partner is an exciting opportunity to help build something truly special in a city and league that are experiencing incredible growth.

“The commitment of both this Club and Right to Dream to community impact, excellence, and a vision for long-term success aligns perfectly with my own values.

“I look forward to contributing my experience and passion for the game and working alongside everyone here to build a Club that inspires both on and off the pitch.”

San Diego’s first ever competitive match will take place at the 35,000-capacity Snapdragon Stadium against five-time MLS winners LA Galaxy on March 1 2025.

The club statement described Mata as a “widely respected humanitarian” and mentioned his charitable schemes such as the Common Goal initiative which sees players pledge one per cent of their salary to social causes.

He is also an active collaborator and partner of Right to Dream, and has visited RTD’s Academy in Egypt and Denmark.

San Diego chairman Sir Mohamed Mansour said: “Juan has been an active and long-term supporter of Right to Dream, and he shares our values of wanting to use football to deliver long-term social impact and change.

“As one of the most successful footballers of his generation, winning the World Cup, European Championship and UEFA Champions League, among many other titles, he is a serial winner, and in San Diego, we are committed to building a winning team for the long term.”

The playmaker starred in England for 11 years with Chelsea and Man Utd.

He spent two-and-a-half years with the Blues where he won the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup.

Mata then played for the Red Devils from January 2014 to summer 2022, winning the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.

After leaving Man Utd, Mata joined Galatasaray, where he won the league before leaving to join Japanese side Vissel Kobe, where he also won the league.

Meanwhile – having started his career with Real Oviedo – prior to arriving in the Premier League he won the Copa del Rey with Valencia.

On an international level, Mata won the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship and was also a European Champion in both the Under-19 and Under-21 categories.

His various business ventures away from football have helped him cultivate a reported net worth of £66million, and it seems club ownership could be up his street when he eventually retires.

Stars signed up for San Diego

SAN DIEGO will be Major League Soccer's 30th franchise team, but who will they have playing for them? Only a handful are on the books so far, but there are names you may recognise...

Hirving Lozano – Mexican winger is joining from PSV in January. He is a title winner with the Dutch club and Italian side Napoli and has 70 international appearances under his belt.

Marcus Ingvartsen – One-time Dane international has proven to be a prolific goalscorer for Nordsjaelland with 53 goals in 134 games.

Alex Mighten – Nottingham Forest academy product is joining from the Premier League side after signing a deal in the summer, but is currently on loan with Nordsjaelland.

Jeppe Tverskov – Third star associated with Nordsjaelland, the defensive midfielder only joined the club from Danish rivals Odense BK in 2023. He is a Superliga veteran with more than 220 appearances to his name.

Paddy McNair – Man Utd academy star is joining the MLS side from West Brom. Now 29 years old, it will be his first transfer outside of England after spending most of his career with Middlesbrough. McNair won the FA Cup with United in 2016 and won the Under-21 Premier League twice.

Cookbook author Lucy, who welcomed her baby boy in March, told how the family had spent a terrifying few days in the hospital ward.

She captured a snap of the tot, eight months, cuddling up to his dad as they read a book while awaiting treatment.

In her caption, the Made in Chelsea stalwart wrote: “Grateful to all be back in our beds after the last two days in hospital with baby W.

“Sending love to anyone with a sick child.

“It’s so scary, but so important to trust your instincts with these things.

“Thank you to the NHS for looking after my baby.”

She added: “RSV season is on us.”

Lucy, who is currently starring on spin-off Beyond Chelsea, continued with a slide of her little boy playing with a ball in his cot.

He had a dummy in his mouth but was still attached by tubes.

She continued: “So so grateful for the child health and safety course we did when I was pregnant.

“Honestly because of this we knew the signs to look out for.

“Cannot recommend enough.”

Lucy then posted a slide detailing the signs and symptoms of Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection.

Earlier this year, Lucy confirmed she had given birth to a baby boy as she captioned another Instagram post: “He’s here.”

Symptoms of RSV

PEOPLE commonly show symptoms of the virus four to six days after being infected.

Signs include:

  • Runny nose
  • Decrease in appetite
  • Coughing
  • Sneezing
  • Fever
  • Wheezing

But symptoms can be much more subtle in very young babies, including irritability, decreased activity and breathing difficulties.

Most children will have had an RSV infection by their second birthday.

It can cause a condition called bronchiolitis in babies and young children.

Symptoms of bronchiolitis in very young infants include:

  1. Refusal to breastfeed or bottle-feed
  2. Breathing more quickly and noisily (wheezing)
  3. Seeming very tired, upset or inactive
  4. Signs of dehydration – lack of tears when crying, little or no urine in their nappy for six hours, and cool, dry skin

Source: CDCAsthma + Lung UK 

She then added his birth date, the 2nd of March, to the post.

Lucy could be seen cradling her newborn in a black and white snap as her boyfriend, James Dunmore, 32, sweetly planted a kiss on her head as they cooed over the adorable newborn.

Lucy’s son’s face could not be seen in the photo as she held onto him tightly in the heart-warming picture.

Back in 2020, after five years of dating, her now husband, James, proposed to Lucy while they were in Greece.

The former MIC star met James on the E4 set in 2015 and they tied the knot in Greece in 2021.

Roy Keane snubs Man Utd by choosing Christmas jumper of rival Premier League club in pic with darts star Luke Humphries

ROY KEANE snubbed Manchester United by wearing a Tottenham Christmas jumper in a meeting with darts star Luke Humphries.

Keane made the bold choice on an episode of The Overlap.

Red Devils legend Keane played 480 times for United during a 12-year period.

He won seven Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League under Sir Alex Ferguson.

And United’s former captain is considered by many to be one of the club’s greatest-ever players.

However, Keane left fans shocked two years ago when he revealed he grew up supporting Tottenham.

The ace admitted as an Irishman, United and Liverpool were the two main English sides people cheered on.

But for some inexplicable reason, he was always drawn to Spurs.

Keane said: “Growing up in Ireland, you were either a Man Utd or Liverpool fan, or Celtic.

“Strangely enough, I supported Spurs. Not sure why, but I did.”

Now, Keane has taken his support for the north Londoners to another level by donning their Christmas jumper.

The bearded pundit cracked a rare smile as he wore a lily-white top with the words “Ho ho ho” on the front.

With number one worth a whopping £29.4million more than number 10!

Read the story and see the full list here.

As for darts star Humphries, who supports Leeds, he kept his usual style with his regular blue darts shirt.

Last Christmas saw Keane lift the lid even higher on his support for Spurs.

He said: “I am a Spurs fan, I played for Man United but Spurs are my team.

“Just because I played for Manchester United didn’t mean I was a fan of the team.

“When I played for Rockmount, one of my teammate’s fathers used to bring me to training and he supported Tottenham.

“That’s where it started, I liked their players, the likes of Glenn Hoddle and Clive Allen.

“But after I’d come back from trial at Nottingham Forest, Spurs offered me a trial.

“I turned it down because Forest had been good me, I liked the club and felt some loyalty to them. I had a soft spot for Spurs, and still do.”

Boxing fan SUING Netflix over buffering during Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson after fight was hit by technical difficulties

A BOXING fan is SUING Netflix over buffering issues during Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson.

Over 65 MILLION households watched the controversial clash with 108m total viewers tuning in to watch Paul’s eight-round decision win.

a boxing match is being shown on a television screen .
Netflix had buffering issues during Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

But the demand caused Netflix problems throughout the night with issues of buffering during the live stream.

And according to WFLA-TV in Tampa, one fan in Florida is suing Netflix in state court.

The man is accusing the streaming giants of “alleged breach of contract and unfair, deceptive actions”.

He is seeking monetary damage, along with class-action status.

Paul, 27, claimed victory over Tyson, 58, who returned for his first professional bout in almost 20 YEARS.

A huge £14.3m was raked in from tickets sales alone – the highest figure for a fight outside of Las Vegas – as 72,000 attended.

And Paul’s business partner and Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian responded to the streaming struggles.

He told Ariel Helwani: “First and foremost, we broke the internet. We did something that has never been done before.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson round-by-round

MIKE TYSON's long-awaited return to the ring didn't have the fairytale ending fight fans dreamed of.

SunSport’s boxing expert Wally Downes Jr recaps one of the drabbest and most forgettable nights in boxing history.

And he didn’t hold back, issuing a scathing assessment of social media sensation Jake Paul.

Round One

Paul says “I love you, Mike” just before the opening bell sounds. He quickly runs away and holds the boxing legend.

Tyson draws a big reaction from the crowd as he lands a jab and a good right hand.

Verdict: 10-9 Tyson

Round Two

Paul ran away in the opener and held – just like we thought he would.

Tommy Fury had it first and now Mike Tyson. It’s clever because Tyson will tire. Paul tags Tyson’s body with a straight right.

Tyson looks spent now. 180 seconds in and the fight looks over.

Verdict: 10-9 Tyson

Round Three

The legend cannot even keep his gumshield in. As expected it’s a waste of time. Paul has run away until the 58-year-old has tired.

Shooting ducks in a barrel now. Tyson might get hurt here. Paul lands a couple of clumsy shots and Tyson wobbles backwards.

Tragic after three.

Verdict: 10-9 Paul

Round Four

This is proper rubbish. The crowd are bored and boos are being heard.

This is just two tired big lumps going at it.  One a legend, one a promoter.

Verdict 10-9 Paul

Round Five

Paul jabs the body and aims right for the head and another one-two clips the icon.

Tyson cannot keep his mouthpiece in, he is gasping for air. Paul lands a left hook but then so does Tyson.

Verdict 10-9 Paul

Round Six

Thank God these weren’t three-minute rounds. We are getting about four punches per round.

Tyson is gasping in the air but replays show a left hook did graze Paul’s beard.

Verdict 10-9 Paul

Round Seven

Tyson slips a jab and tries an uppercut. The commentator admits it has been a “sad” spectacle.

The AT&T stadium has been utterly stunk out. Paul is looking just as tired as Tyson.

Verdict 10-9 Paul

Round Eight

Go back to YouTube, Jake. You’re an excellent conman. But you’ve never been a boxer.

The Judges decide: 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73. I’m glad Tyson gets paid and has stayed safe.

But what a laughable performance from Paul to add to his stinker with Tommy Fury.

Verdict 10-9 Paul

SunSport’s final scorecard – 78-74 for Jake Paul

“The record for streaming in the US was 23 million concurrents, we blew past that.

“So Netflix has shown it has an ability to do things that no other media platform has done before.

“Secondly, Netflix is always advancing the boundaries of content consumption, they’ve been doing that for many years and this was just another example of that.”

Dramatic moment Iceland volcano erupts without warning AGAIN as lava spews into air & tourists evacuated from resort

A VOLCANO near Iceland’s capital has erupted for the seventh time in just a year.

The eruption started with little warning shortly after 11pm last night – with dramatic footage showing a wall of magma lighting up the night sky.

The volcano sits 20 miles south-west of Reykjavik and Wednesday’s eruption is the tenth in just three years.

Spewing fountains of lava and smoke, the eruption created a fissure around 1.8 miles long.

Around 50 houses were evacuated after the Civil Protection agency issued an alert – and guests at the famous Blue Lagoon resort were also evacuated.

The repeated volcanic eruptions close to Grindavk – a town of 3,800 people – have damaged infrastructure and buildings and forced many residents to relocate.

The last eruption only ended on September 6.

Magns Tumi Gumundsson, a professor of geophysics who flew over the eruption with the Civil Protection agency, said: “In the big picture, this is a bit smaller than the last eruption and the eruption that occurred in May.

“Grindavk is not in danger as it looks and it is unlikely that this crack will get any longer, although nothing can be ruled out.”

Iceland, with nearly 400,000 citizens, is located on the fault line between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

It makes it a seismic hotspot with hot and warm-water springs and dozens of volcanoes.

The biggest eruption in recent years was the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in 2010 – which spewed huge clouds of ash into the sky and disrupted air travel for months.

Grindavik Mayor Fannar Jónasson said the eruption came as a shock, with the next one not expected until the end of the month.

He said: “But that is how unpredictable nature is.”
