Andy Cole reckons Manchester United are close to challenging for the Premier League title again - and won't have to wait 30 years like fierce rivals Liverpool.

United had hauled themselves up to fifth in the Premier League table by the time the season was halted due to coronavirus, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions.

After a poor start to the season, the Red Devils have improved since Christmas, helped by the performances of January signing Bruno Fernandes and on-loan striker Odion Ighalo.

They are still 37 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, who will need two wins to secure a first top-flight title in three decades, if and when the season can be resumed following the Covid-19 crisis.

so-called “freedom convoy” that has snarled downtown Ottawa streets is widening its grip on the city, sprawling out in new, smaller encampments scattered around town.And while the police say they’ve negotiated movement of some trucks around the city, there are protesters in various encampments who continue to dig in their heels.“If trucks leave here, they’re going out on a convoy. They’re going to join the rest of the trucks,” said John Bancroft, a coordinator for the encampment site set up on Coventry Road — a short drive from downtown Ottawa.“No one’s leaving here until the mandates are lifted.” Trudeau calls on all parties to denounce ‘illegal’ trucker occupations, blockades But in the days since, that setup has shifted — and Global News has created a map of what the convoy protest’s encampments look like now.The original location of the convoy, Wellington Street, remains lined with trucks and regular vehicles.
