Back in 2019, Gary Neville named his three dream signings for Manchester United and we’ve checked out where those players are today. The Red Devils haven’t had the best track record in the transfer market in recent seasons and Ruben Amorim will no doubt want to put his own stamp on the squad over the coming years. During a Twitter QnA back in 2019, Neville named his three dream United signings and we’ve checked out where all of those players are today. Raphael Varane Neville eventually got his wish with this one as the Red Devils signed the Frenchman in the summer of 2021 for around £40million. Varane made a fairly decent impression during his spell at Old Trafford, although injuries often sidetracked his progress. “For me, when I watch Varane, he actually defends his part of the pitch very well and the box very well – he heads out a lot of balls and is quite dominant in the air,” Neville said on The Overlap earlier this year. “I just think he’s that kind of centre-half who will always do his own job really well but I don’t think he’ll impact the players around him. “And that’s not a criticism by the way, because to be fair there are many great centre-halves who do their own job very well but don’t actually manage a back four.” Probably the best fantasy game for the holiday season [no install] Elvenar Probably the best fantasy game for the holiday season [no install] Ad Following a three-year stint with the club, the 31-year-old departed on a free transfer to Como 1907 over the summer. However, following a knee injury that he sustained in August, the Frenchman decided to retire in September. He still works at Como today as a board member.

The Battle of the Bagradas River was fought between a Carthaginian army led by Hamilcar Barca, who was victorious, against a rebel force led by Spendius. The battle occurred in 240 BC and was fought in what is today's northeast Tunisia. At the time, Carthage was fighting a coalition of mutinous soldiers and rebellious African cities in the Mercenary War, which had started late the previous year in the wake of the First Punic War. The rebels were blockading Carthage and besieging the northern ports of Utica and Hippo (modern Bizerte). A Carthaginian army commanded by Hanno had attempted and failed to relieve Utica earlier that year. A second army was assembled in Carthage and entrusted to Hamilcar, who had commanded Carthaginian forces on Sicily for the last six years of the First Punic War. The new Carthaginian army left Carthage and evaded the rebel blockade by crossing the Bagradas River (the modern Medjerda River) at its mouth. Rebel armies commanded by Spendius from both the Utica siege and a camp guarding the only bridge over the lower Bagradas River marched towards the Carthaginians. When they came into sight Hamilcar ordered the Carthaginians to feign a retreat. The rebels broke ranks to chase after the Carthaginians and this impetuous pursuit caused them to fall into confusion. Once the rebels had drawn close, the Carthaginians turned and charged them. The rebels broke and were routed. The Carthaginians pursued, killing or capturing many of the rebels and taking the fortifications guarding the bridge. This victory gave Hamilcar freedom to manoeuvre and the operational initiative.
