The England international joined his Madrid team-mates in surrounding the official but Manzano felt Bellingham had gone too far and promptly sent him off.
In his report, Manzano said: “After the end of the game and while still on the pitch, he came running over to me in an aggressive way shouting, repeatedly: ‘It’s a f*****g goal’.”
Bellingham, who is the top scorer in La Liga with 16 goals following his summer switch from Borussia Dortmund, will now miss the games against Celta Vigo and Osasuna, although Real Madrid are likely to appeal.
Women in Property (WiP) – the influencing and networking organisation for the property and construction industry – has announced that Rachael Cunliffe from Harley Haddow and Engage 5, will become its next North West chair.
Rachael (pictured) who is director at Engage 5, has taken the post until March 1, 2025.
Women in Property uses its platform to influence government, including the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Women in Work.
Amongst the issues that the APPG is influencing are Women Returners, Making the Industrial Strategy Work for Women, How to Recruit Women for the 21st Century, Inclusivity and Intersectionality, The Impact of COVID-19 on women in the workplace, and the recruitment and retention of women in construction for the 7th Inquiry for Excellence in the Built Environment.
Women in Property also works to encourage girls and young women to consider a career in property and construction through school outreach projects and the National Student Awards.
Delighted
Rachael said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed this year’s Northwest chair for Women in Property, building on the success of previous years. My passion lies in developing confidence to attend functions alongside nurturing connections and friendships through our extensive events programme.
“As we challenge the traditional view that gender is the main barrier in our industry, our goal is to create an environment that supports the career growth of all our members”
Ian Chalk, director of Harley Haddow’s Manchester office said: “We are so proud of Rachael and what she’s done with Women in Property over the last seven years. She is a vital part of our team and all the work she is doing to highlight representation of women in the industry is truly inspiring.
With recruitment challenges across the board in the property industry, it is vital we encourage more entrants into the sector, and she has done a fantastic job in ensuring girls and young women know the paths they can take. We look forward to seeing Rachael thrive in driving forward what WIP is all about.”
Since joining Women in Property in 2017, Rachael has been on WIP committee for three years organising CPDs and events.
Supporting Rachael in her role is Steph Cox who has become branch vice chair. She is a director at E3P, Environmental Consultancy.
Women in Property is holding its second national conference – the People|Innovation|Place Summit – on November 14, at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, under the theme “Rethinking Places”. Open to all genders, visit the website for details. Tickets will go on sale on March 11.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer twice tried to persuade Manchester United to sign Erling Haaland before he made his name at Borussia Dortmund.
Solskjaer gave Haaland, then 16, his professional debut during their time together at Norwegian side Molde. He quickly realised he had a star on his hands and called his former club to try to persuade them to steal a march on their rivals.
He explained on the Stick to Football podcast: “I had him in Molde, for two seasons.
“I rang the club [United] and said ‘You’ve got to sign this boy – he’ll be top class’. That was June/July 2018, and they said no – they had enough reports on players.”
Solskjaer then moved to Old Trafford, where he enjoyed a trophy-laden spell as a player, in December 2018 as caretaker manager.
A month later Haaland moved to Salzburg on a deal that contained a small release clause that Solskjaer was eager to activate.
He added: “We had sold Haaland to Salzburg. I tell the club [United] straight away to buy him while he has a release clause.
“We knew that then, and no-one else would’ve paid the money – €20m (£17m), it would’ve been a bargain even though [he had] his links with Alfie [Haaland], and Manchester City and Leeds.
“It was the club’s decision to not go for it then.
“We never made bids or went in for him, until after he started scoring for Salzburg. By then, Borussia Dortmund were there, Juventus were there, everyone was there.”
ERLING 💬 Live everything in life, if you overthink it’s not good. If you have stress, it’s not good. My life is about football so that’s what I focus on. I have one career, my focus is to be the best player I can be. PIC.TWITTER.COM/XFH0L8IEWJ
Haaland moved to Dortmund – a club renown for developing young talent – in December 2019 and made an immediate impact, scoring five times in his first 56 minutes on the field.
A move to City followed in the summer of 2022 and the goals continued to flow. His 52 goals in 53 appearances in all competitions last season fired Pep Guardiola’s men to the treble while he has also contributed 27 this term.
“He’s got more than just being a great lad,” added Solskjaer.
“He’s such a team player, and one-on-one with a keeper, he doesn’t think about his own stats.
“He passes if someone else is through and it’ll be a 100% goal. He’s a gem.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United in 2021 muddled the team’s approach and proved to be the wrong decision, admits former Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford upon leaving Juventus in August 2021, when senior figures at United were targeting a Premier League title push after Solskjaer led them to a second-place finish in 2020-21.
While the Portugal great scored 24 goals across all competitions that season, United slumped to sixth in the table, with Solskjaer sacked in November and interim boss Ralf Rangnick failing to arrest their slide.
Ronaldo then fell out of favour when Erik ten Hag took charge in 2022, being released by the club after he hit out at the Dutchman in an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
Reflecting on his final few months in charge of United, Solskjaer insisted the decision to re-sign Ronaldo was the right one to take at the time, though he admits the move was rushed.
“It was a very quick decision,” Solskjaer said on the Stick to Football show for The Overlap. “We didn’t think Cristiano was available and that he was going to move.
“When it became apparent that he was leaving Juventus, obviously there were other clubs that wanted him, but I was excited.
“They asked me, ‘would you want us to try this?’ I said yes. We know Cristiano is quality, he’s 37, but he’s the best goalscorer in the world. It didn’t work out for me, it didn’t work out for Cristiano, but it was the right decision at the time.”
Solskjaer claims Ronaldo had agreed to sit out a quarter of United’s games, only to express his frustration on the rare occasions where he was left out of the starting lineup.
The biggest challenge presented by Ronaldo’s return, however, was the disruption it caused to United’s out-of-possession approach, which Solskjaer accepts was difficult to overcome.
“Cristiano, when you know him and speak to him, he wanted to play three out of four games, he realised he’s getting older as well,” Solskjaer said.
“But then when you leave him out once, he’s not happy, or Sir Alex [Ferguson] isn’t happy.
“With the ball, with him in the team, it was no problem. Without the ball, we had to change the different roles we’d gotten used to. We were one of the highest pressing teams before.
“We let Dan James go when Cristiano came in, and they’re two different types of players. It was the right decision to make for me, but it didn’t turn out to be the right one.”

Emma Raducanu says developing her game, rather than picking up results, is her priority ahead of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.
Raducanu returned to the court in January following an eight-month absence, after cutting her 2023 season short to undergo wrist and ankle surgeries.
The former US Open champion went out to Wang Yafan in the second round of the Australian Open and has won just three of her seven matches so far this year.
However, ahead of facing qualifier Rebeka Masarova in the first round at Indian Wells on Thursday, Raducanu said she is looking beyond short-term results to ensure long-term success.
“I want to work on becoming a better tennis player,” Raducanu told BBC Sport. “I think for me, I’m not too concerned about this year’s tournaments.
“A lot of people out there would say that I need matches, but I think that for me, I want to work on my game and my development.
“Taking time to do that is necessary and it’s about not just following the crowd, or playing a lot of matches, or dropping down [to Challenger level] to do that. I want to work on developing skills.”
Raducanu reached the fourth round at Indian Wells last year, with that run representing one of few bright spots in a disappointing campaign, coming shortly after she discovered she would need surgery on both wrists.
Asked about her long road back to fitness, Raducanu added: “It’s just a bit of a journey for me, I would say, you don’t really know what to expect after being out for eight months.
“I felt like because I was so go-go-go since December, I felt like I became a little fatigued, so it was good to go back, freshen up and practice for the American swing, which I’m a big fan of.”
England have largely performed well on this tour and they deserve more than to return home having been beaten 4-1 – a point coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes will be keen to emphasise.
For all the talk of Bazball – particularly early on when England went 1-0 up in Hyderabad – the fact is the tourists have not been able to sustain their front-foot approach long enough, and well enough, for it to have any meaningful impact.
There are two players that will achieve milestone moments in this game with both Ravichandran Ashwin and Jonny Bairstow set to play their 100th Test match.
Team News
India enjoyed the luxury of being able to rest star paceman Jasprit Bumrah in Ranchi but he will return here, possibly at the expense of Kuldeep Yadav.
India’s strength in depth has been evident in this series with the likes of Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel and Akash Deep all making their Test bows. With the outcome settled, the hosts could well hand a maiden cap to Devdutt Padikkal.
England have opted to stick with two spinners despite the fact the game is taking place in the cooler conditions of Dharamsala, in the foothills of the Himalayas.
The only change to the side that lost in Ranchi is the inclusion of Durham paceman Mark Wood, who comes in for Ollie Robinson.
Robinson underperformed last time out, going wicketless in India’s first innings while being completely ignored by Stokes in the second.
There is a slight concern around Shoaib Bashir, who missed training today with a minor stomach upset.
India captain Rohit Sharma on his team and the pitch
“It has been a series of comebacks for us. Whenever we were put under pressure we were able to put the pressure back on the opposition. That was pleasing for me. Looks like a typical Indian pitch. There will be some movement when the temperature drops but looks like a good pitch.”
England captain Ben Stokes on the pitch
“It looks like a wicket that could have a bit of pace and carry in it. Having a fresh Mark Wood on a wicket that you feel is going to offer some pace – it’s something that’s been consistent whenever we’ve gone with two seamers. Looking at having a bowler like Jimmy [Anderson] but wanting to have some pace and firepower to break the game open. With having two spinners, it allows us to play either conditions at different times throughout the Test.”
When and how to watch
The fifth Test takes place in Dharamsala, starting at 4am (UK time) on Thursday morning. You can watch it in the UK on TNT Sports or Discovery+ with the programme starting at 3.45am.
Prediction
England will find it difficult to get up for this game given the series is already lost. Andwith India’s young guns fighting to keep their places when the more established players return, they will not be lacking in motivation.
The conditions could suit England more than the previous four games but we don’t think that will be enough to sway the game in the tourists’ favour.
Mark Wood has replaced Ollie Robinson in the only change to England’s team for the fifth and final Test against India in Dharamsala.
Wood was rested for the fourth Test in Ranchi, where a five-wicket victory saw India claim the claim the series with a match to spare.
Robinson suffered a back strain while batting in England’s first innings of the last Test, and the paceman was not used as the tourists attempted to halt India’s successful chase of 192 in the second innings.
Wood is the only new face in England’s XI, with the tourists opting against the introduction of another seamer, which had been mooted due to the cold conditions expected at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
Shoaib Bashir has been retained despite suffering a cut to his spinning finger last time out, while he was forced to skip training on Wednesday after feeling unwell.
Jonny Bairstow will play his 100th Test, while James Anderson leads the attack, needing just two wickets to bring up 700 in red-ball cricket for England.
Full England XI to face India: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes (wk), Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir.
We make one change for the final match of the series 🔁
