Since arriving at Manchester United, Erik ten Hag has shown encouraging signs that he can finally turn things around at Old Trafford after a decade of mediocrity cast its shadow following Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. The Scot’s fifth permanent successor, Ten Hag has ruled with an iron fist and the former Ajax manager is finally starting to reap the rewards despite a shaky start.

The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is again urging the public to use 999 appropriately during industrial action on Monday (23 January) and to call only if it is a life-threatening or life-altering emergency.
On days where there is strike action, patients should continue to call 999 if there is a medical or mental health emergency [when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk]. Ambulances will be able to respond in these situations, but this may only be where there is the most immediate risk to life.
