Manchester United star players Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Andre Onana arrive in Mumbai
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 29 (ANI): The prestigious football club Manchester United FC (MUFC) star players Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot and Andre Onana were spotted at the Mumbai International Airport in the early hours of Thursday.
The players have reached India for a meet and greet event organised by Apollo Tyres.
The former captain of Manchester United, Harry Maguire, donned a black shirt which had red stripes. The other players were wearing the same outfit, signifying their unity as Manchester United team representatives in India.
Diogo Dalot also waved at his fans and paparazzi after spotting them behind him. He was joined by the goalkeeper Andre Onana while Harry Maguire quietly stepped into the car.
Recently, Manchester United suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the Europa League Final against Tottenham. Shattering the hope of fans for a trophy, the team lost to Spurs by 1-0 after full time.
The match began with both sides showing some attacking intent, but with both teams sitting 16th and 17th in the Premier League, the lack of confidence was clear, and the game soon became scrappy. Neither side could build any real rhythm, and clear chances were rare.
The decisive moment came just before halftime. Pape Sarr played a ball into the United penalty area, aiming for Johnson. The forward didn't get a clean touch, but his presence caused confusion. Luke Shaw failed to clear the danger, and Johnson was able to nudge the ball past United goalkeeper Andre Onana and into the net.
It was far from a beautiful goal, but it was enough to put Spurs in front.
In the second half, Manchester United tried to push forward in search of an equaliser. However, they struggled to create clear opportunities.
One of their best chances came when Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario dropped a routine ball, sending it straight to Rasmus Hojlund.
The Danish striker's looping header looked like it was going in, but Micky van de Ven made a brilliant acrobatic clearance on the line to keep Spurs in the lead. The fans of Manchester United in India are now quite excited to meet the star players of the team today. (ANI)

Ange Postecoglou sacked: Who are Tottenham Hotspur's top candidates to replace the Australian?
With Ange Postecoglou unable to save his job as Tottenham Hotspur manager despite helping the club win the UEFA Europa League, its first major trophy in 17 years, we take a look at some of the top candidates likely to replace the Australian. read more Tottenham Hotspur finished 17th, just above the drop zone, in Ange Postecoglou's second season in charge, which was the primary reason behind the Australian losing his job. AP Helping Tottenham Hotspur win their first major trophy in 17 years wasn't enough for Ange Postecoglou to save his job as manager, with the on Friday. The bombshell of an announcement came just half a month after Postecoglou's men defeated Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to win the UEFA Europa League, adding a trophy to their cabinet for the first time since Juande Ramos' side won the League Cup. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Tottenham however, had finished 17th in the 2024-25 Premier League season, just above the relegation zone, after 22 defeats in 38 games, which had already cast a shadow on his future at the north London club. More from Football The was an aberration in what was ultimately a disastrous season for a team that had finished runners-up at the UEFA Champions League just six years ago. And for a club that was seen as a regular in the Premier League top six, fighting relegation certainly is embarrassing. In the end, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy decided not to take a leaf out of Manchester United's book and give Postecoglou another shot the way the 'Red Devils' extended Erik Ten Hag's job last year, and made his exit official. So who are the candidates likely to replace 'Big Ange' at Spurs? We take a look at some of the names currently doing the rounds: According to BBC Sport, Brentford boss Thomas Frank is a favourite to succeed Postecoglou as Spurs manager in the following season. The 51-year-old has been in charge of 'The Bees' since 2018 and has not only steered them into the Premier League from the Championship, he helped them finish 10th this season – seven places above Tottenham and five above United. Brentford boss Thomas Frank is a leading candidate to succeed Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham Hotspur manager. Reuters Also in contention is Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, whose team finished level on 56 points with Brentford but finished ahead at the ninth spot due to a superior Goal Difference. Iraola's heroics in Spain – helping second-tier clubs Mirandes and Rayo Vallecano into the semi-finals of Copa del Rey and steering the latter into LaLiga – further helps boost his chances of landing the job at Tottenham. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also in contention are Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner. While Silva's Fulham finished just two points short of Bournemouth and Brentford, Glasner helped Crystal Palace pull off their biggest victory ever – a 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the League Cup final that helped them win the first trophy of its 120-year history and condemned Pep Guardiola to a trophyless season. Is Pochettino set for a Spurs comeback? Mauricio Pochettino managed the cub for five years from 2014 to 2019, helping the club make their only appearance in a Champions League final during this period besides finishing among the top three in three consecutive seasons (2015-2018). And though he did not win a trophy with the club during his time in charge, Pochettino certainly ranks among the greatest gaffers in Spurs' history. Pochettino has had one-year spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea since he was sacked by Spurs just six months after the Champions League final, where they lost to Liverpool 0-2, and currently manages the United States men's football team. And when asked about the possibility for a second spell at his old club on Saturday, a day after Postecoglou's firing, the Argentine chose to play down the talk. Tottenham Hotspur had finished among the top-three in three consecutive seasons and made their only appearance in a UEFA Champions League final during Mauricio Pochettino's five-year spell in charge of the north London club. Reuters 'After I left in 2019, every time that I was free, and the place of the position of the manager or head coach in Tottenham Hotspur (was vacant), my name is appearing on the list. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'If you have seen the rumors, I think there are 100 coaches in the list. I think, don't be worried about that,' Pochettino said during a press conference after USA's 2-1 home defeat against Turkey in a friendly. Pochettino added that a move back to Tottenham is 'not realistic', but did not rule out the possibility with absolute certainty. 'If something happened, you for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it's not real. It's not realistic. And look at where I am, where we are. 'And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we're talking about it because it's my club, like Newells or Espanyol,' he added.
