Manchester United are continuing their late-season push for Champions League qualification, with Ruben Amorim’s side set to face a crucial test against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-finals next week.
With Champions League football hanging in the balance, planning for the summer transfer window is already underway behind the scenes at Old Trafford.
Despite some positive signs under Amorim, United’s midfield remains inconsistent, especially with the futures of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen uncertain.
The Red Devils are expected to focus heavily on strengthening their spine, with several high-profile names linked across Europe.
Now, a familiar name from Ruben Amorim’s former club is drawing attention.
Morten Hjulmand is of interest to Manchester United

According to reports from CaughtOffside, Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand is attracting interest from Manchester United, along with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
The 24-year-old Denmark international has enjoyed a standout season under Amorim in Lisbon, earning praise for his composure on the ball, defensive awareness, and natural leadership.

Although Arsenal and Tottenham are said to be leading the race, Amorim’s admiration of Morten Hjulmand could influence United’s next move.
The Portuguese coach previously described Hjulmand as a “fantastic player” during his time at Sporting, and a potential reunion at Old Trafford could be on the cards.
Morten Hjulmand is protected by an €80 million release clause, but sources suggest Sporting would accept a bid in the region of €50–60 million.
Arsenal are expected to lose both Jorginho and Thomas Partey, while Spurs continue to search for a reliable replacement for the inconsistent Yves Bissouma.
Despite facing stiff competition, United’s inside knowledge of the player and their existing relationship with Amorim could give them an edge in negotiations.
Hjulmand has also caught the eye of European giants Inter Milan, Barcelona, and PSG, but the allure of the Premier League may prove decisive.
With United targeting stability in midfield and Amorim pushing for tactical continuity, a swoop for Hjulmand could be the move that reshapes the Red Devils’ engine room next season.

Shifting to sustainable food systems involves replacing animal-based proteins with plant-based alternatives, which necessitates changes in food production and availability. To understand how this transition relates to demographic patterns, a new study examines the global connections between age-specific mortality, national macronutrient distributions, and protein substitution.
The University of Sydney study demonstrates that countries that consume more plant-based proteins, such as chickpeas, tofu, and peas, have longer adult life expectancies. By studying food supply and demographic data from 101 countries between 1961 and 2018, researchers have determined whether the type of protein a population consumes impacts longevity.
The study suggests a mixed picture when comparing the health impacts of meat versus plant-based protein at a population level. For children under the age of five, a food system that supplies large amounts of animal-based proteins and fats, such as meat, eggs, and dairy, has been linked to lower infant mortality rates. However, the reverse was true for adults, where plant-based proteins increased overall life expectancy.
Researchers analyzed 60 years of data from 101 countries to investigate the impact of plant— and animal-based protein diets on human longevity. They considered food production, as well as calorie, protein, and fat levels.
Plant communication: A new device can talk to plants
The study compared countries with high animal protein consumption, such as the US and Australia, to those that favor plant-based diets, including India and Indonesia. Adjusting for wealth and population, they found that countries with greater availability of plant-based protein tended to have longer life expectancies than those relying on animal-based proteins.
High consumption of animal-based proteins, mainly processed meats, has been linked to chronic illnesses like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. On the other hand, plant proteins, such as legumes, nuts, and whole grains, are associated with lower risks of chronic diseases and improve overall longevity.
Studies have shown that plant-based diets contribute to the longevity observed in some of the world’s longest-lived communities, including those in Okinawa, Japan; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California. Dr. Senior emphasized the importance of understanding how plant-based proteins can improve human lifespan and support environmental sustainability as dietary habits evolve in developed countries that aim to decarbonize.

This article from The Pillar looks at the same phenomenon happening in several countries right now —
.
Similarly, in the Diocese of Southwark, 450 converts will be received into the Catholic Church the Easter Vigil, marking a decade-high number.
Father Daniel of the York Oratory revealed that he believes that part of the reason for the conversions is a desire for order and sense in a world of chaos.
“There is a sense of moral chaos and lack of meaning in today’s society. If people can find something that makes sense, provides meaning, and also gives a community, which the Catholic Church does, they are going to be attracted to this, and I think this is particularly true for young men,” he explained.
Additionally, Archbishop John Wilson of the Archdiocese of Southwark shared the joy of those entering the Catholic Church.
“Whenever I meet someone joining the Church, I am filled with so much joy,” he said. “While each story is unique, at the heart of every story is the same yearning, the same feeling of restlessness. These feelings can only be answered and fulfilled by Christ.”
This phenomenon is also taking place in France, which has record-high numbers of adult baptisms to take place in less than a week, according to data released by the French Bishops’ Conference.
This Easter, France’s Catholic Church will welcome over 10,384 adult catechumens, which is a 45 percent increase from last year. Additionally, 42 percent of adult catechumens are from the 18-25 age group.
The increasing number of catechumens comes after a recent report found that the number of Generation Z churchgoers in the U.K. has jumped from four percent in 2018 to 16 percent today, with young Catholics outnumbering Anglicans by a two-to-one margin.
Generation Z, often called Gen Z, are those born from 1997 to 2012. This generation is known for many things, including social media addictions and leading the working from home movement.
However, Gen Z is also known for its remarkable return to religion, especially Christianity and Catholicism.
The surge in Catholicism among Gen Z can also be attributed to the rise of Catholic, or at least Christian, social media influencers and celebrities.
Many celebrities, including Russell Brand and Rob Schneider, have revealed their journeys to Christianity.
Similarly, prominent podcasters Candace Owens and Tammy Peterson recently embraced the fullness of Christianity by entering the Catholic Church.
Protests on Monday morning broke out in Jos, the Plateau State capital, as outraged residents, led by Christian leaders, took to the streets over killings in the state.
The demonstrations, led by the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Polycarp Lubo, started at the Fawvwei Junction community road. The protest banner has Hashtags like # LetPlateauLive #PeaceForPlateau and #StopTheKillings #EveryLifeMatters
The protest follows the killing of over 100 people across Plateau’s rural communities of Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas in the past two weeks.
“We are not happy over the continuous attacks and killings by gunmen in our communities. That’s why we have come out again to protest these happenings,” Gyang Dalyop told journalists during the protests.
Another protester, Hannatu Philip, made an appeal to the government and warned that the situation was on the brink of spiraling beyond control if immediate intervention was not provided.
The demonstrators, carried placards with inscriptions like “killing us wont kill our hope”, “The ground cries blood—Where is justice”, and “Christian ls are not targets—We deserve to live”, amongst others as they marched towards the Rayfield Government House, demanding urgent government action and security protection.
THE WHISTLER reports that former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd.), on Saturday, April 19, called on Nigerians in Benue, Plateau, and other violence-stricken states to rise and defend themselves.
Danjuma, speaking in Takum, Taraba State, expressed frustration over what he described as the government’s failure to protect its citizens.
“The warning I gave some years ago is still as valid today as it was then. Nigerians must rise and defend themselves,” Danjuma said, adding that, “We cannot continue to sit and watch while bandits, terrorists, and criminal gangs massacre our people unchecked.”
He stressed that communities must take proactive steps to safeguard their lives and properties, as relying solely on government protection has become dangerously unrealistic.
“It is now very clear that the government alone cannot protect us. We must stand up and defend ourselves, our families, and our lands before these criminals overrun the entire country,” he added.

Nigerian singer, Portable, has disclosed that Burna Boy gifted him N20 million but won’t respond to his messages, has avoided his calls, and also ignored his request for a song feature, which he says is more important than the monetary gift.
Portable disclosed this while chatting with friends during a recorded conversation.
Portable said in the video: “Person wey give me twenty million never reply me for Instagram. I no get him number. I dey call am, e no pick. I chat am, e no reply. He give me twenty million.
“Odogwu, Burna Boy, he give me twenty million, he didn’t reply me.”
He stated that Burna Boy is “stingy” when it comes to replying.
He added that he reached out to Burna about featuring in a song, but he didn’t respond. Portable further stated that a feature is more important than the 20 million because money finishes, but featuring in a song is forever.
He said: “This man, did you follow me on Instagram? He didn’t say hello to me. He’s my helper but I need a feature.
“Twenty million, I’ll spend it finish, but feature, person wey get feature, person wey give me twenty million, if I feature am, I don blow.”
Heists make for some of the most thrilling content available in GTA Online. These multi-part missions require meticulous planning for faultless execution and offer impressively high payouts. That said, not all heists are built the same in terms of quality or their cash rewards. Some of these missions are also best experienced as one-time events since their setups or total duration don’t justify the final compensation. To save you the stress of figuring out where to start, we’ve ranked the very best heists in GTA 5 Online with details on their payout and more.
Best Heists in GTA Online
For the purpose of this list, we’re solely focusing on the eight heists released in GTA 5 Online to date. This means we’ve excluded mini-heist activities such as Autoshop contracts and the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, as well as the Dr Dre VIP Contract. Without further ado, here’s the list:
The Prison Break is one of the OG heists that was added to Online back in 2015. It sees a crew of four players engineering a daring jailbreak, in collaboration with Agent 14, to collect Maxim Rashkovsky. But before you can infiltrate Boilingbroke Pententiary, the heist requires four setup missions, three of which are centered around stealing vehicles. It also has a setup cost of $40,000.
As for the finale, players are split into teams of two, with one person tasked with rescuing the prisoner while the other handles demolitions. This split ends up complicating things as the mission’s success is heavily reliant on every player carrying their weight. Furthermore, the combat sequences throw a flood of armed guards and special reinforcements your way, so remaining in sync becomes paramount.
Being one of the earlier heists released in the game, it comes with the annoying caveat of an instant mission failure if even one participant disconnects. This, coupled with the tricky combat scenarios, can turn decent progress into immediate disaster. And the effort isn’t worth it for that payout. As such, we rank it the worst heist in GTA 5 Online.
7. Series A Funding
Image Credit: DeviantArt – VicenzoVegas21
Payout: $707,000 (Normal), $883,750 (Hard)
Player Requirement: Four players
Being another OG heist, Series A Funding shares many of its faults with The Prison Break. For starters, the infuriating mission failure requirements are also here, and so is the need for complete teamwork. With that being said, the finale itself should be easier to pull off with random players since the action isn’t frantic by any means.
The saving grace for this mission is the involvement of everybody’s favorite maniac, Trevor Philips. The GTA 5 protagonist plays a prominent role in the heist, meaning you’ll be seeing plenty of his homicidal tendencies and unfiltered absurdity. He even ends up sobbing by a tree when the curtains close, but we’ll let you discover why for yourself.
In conclusion, Series A Funding is definitely a quicker heist as compared to The Prison Break, and the payouts are also slightly higher. However, given its complicated nature, we still don’t recommend this GTA Online heist.
6. The Fleeca Job
Image Credit: Rockstar Games
Payout: $201,250 (Normal), $250,250 (Hard)
Player Requirement: Two players
The Fleeca Job was the first heist introduced in GTA Online, and this is really evident in its structure. The setup is pretty simple, and Lester even covers the financial investment during your first attempt. But keep in mind that subsequent attempts require $11,500.
The mission itself is a standard bank robbery, with one player serving as the designated driver and the other drilling open the safe. When it comes to the gateway, players hop into an armored vehicle and lead the police on a chase, which ends with their car being latched onto a magnet suspended from a helicopter.
It’s an undeniably cool way to wrap up the game’s first heist, and the best part is that you can easily blow through it under 30 minutes. This makes it very accessible, especially in terms of replayability, and the haul only needs to be split two ways, which is always a nice bonus. If you’re a beginner with a friend to waste some time with, do check this GTA 5 Online heist.
5. The Humane Labs Raid
Image Credit: Rockstar Games
Payout: $945,000 (Normal), $1,181,500 (Hard)
Player Requirement: Four players
The Humane Labs Raid heist requires a setup cost of $54,000 and the completion of five tasks before the finale. These prep missions aren’t the easiest since you’ll need to steal vehicles from armed convoys, which leads to an all-out shootout with Merryweather over a Valkyrie helicopter. But once the main event begins, all the buildup will feel worth it.
At its core, the heist is a stealth espionage mission as your crew breaks into a super secure research facility in search of biological weapons. You’re allowed to use all sorts of cool equipment, such as Night Vision goggles, Scuba suits, and a host of suppressed guns.
The mission’s aesthetic is very reminiscent of a Tom Clancy game, and the game emphasizes the use of stealth for most of the heist’s runtime. Eventually, things do devolve into chaos, and players are forced to make an underwater escape. This only ends up heightening the stakes and helps make the raid truly memorable. For all these reasons, coupled with the solid payout, the Humane Labs Raid is a must-play GTA 5 Online heist if you can.
4. The Bogdan Problem (Doomsday Heist Part 2)
Image Credit: Rockstar Games
Payout: $1,425,000 (Normal), $1,781,250 (Hard)
Player Requirement: 2-4 players
The finales for all three parts of the Doomsday Heist are high-quality, but it’s The Bogdan Problem that takes the cake for us. It requires a setup cost of $25,000, along with completing five setup missions. Just like all other heists, you’ll be stealing various vehicles for the finale. However, the vehicles in question include Deluxos (flying DeLoreans), Stormberg underwater cars, and an Avenger VTOL.
These robberies set the scene for a spectacle of a heist, which sees players infiltrate a submarine to take out the eponymous Bogdan. Depending on the team split, two players are racing behind the submarine in the futuristic Stormberg while the others are high in the air providing support against oncoming Buzzards. This is followed by intense gunfights both underwater and above the surface, before culminating in a race against the clock.
The heist is a thrill ride from top to bottom, and well worth playing at least once. Where it falters is replayability, as the setup missions and even the finale itself are far too time-consuming.
3. The Pacific Standard Job
Image Credit: GTA Online
Payout: $1,500,000 (Normal), $1,875,000 (Hard)
Player Requirement: Four players
The Pacific Standard Job is as classic as GTA heists come. It’s a straightforward bank robbery, bereft of any futuristic shenanigans, in which four players loot the titular bank, all while running through some beloved Hollywood heist cliches. It’s a tried-and-tested formula that has been repeated several times throughout the franchise, yet it remains just as potent here.
This GTA Online heist requires an investment of $25,000, along with the completion of five setup missions that can be breezed through quite easily. The finale itself features all the single-player mechanics you’d expect, including crowd control, elaborate getaways, and the possibility of losing money if the duffel bags get shot. The overall simplicity plays in the heist’s favor as it’s one of the best activities to grind for substantial payouts.
2. The Diamond Casino Heist
Image Credit: Rockstar Games
Payout: $2,115,000 (Normal), $2,326,500 (Hard)
Player Requirement: 2-4 players
If we’re talking strictly about the payout, the Diamond Casino Heist is in a league of its own. The payouts mentioned above only account for the minimum reward players expect. Depending on the contents of the safe inside the casino, the actual figure can rise to a whopping $3.6 million. But don’t mistake this heist as just a money farm, since it’s also one of the most detailed missions in the entire game.
Rockstar took a painstaking approach to the heist’s design, as it lets players control virtually every aspect of the job. There are three contrasting methods to pull off the robbery, all of which are worth experiencing at least once.
It’s also one of the few missions where recruiting top-tier professionals is almost a necessity. And if you’ve got the talent, you can even attempt to get away without alerting the authorities that are swarming the place. All this and more make robbing the Diamond Casino one of the best heists in GTA 5 Online.
To players familiar with the game, this should hardly come as a surprise. The Cayo Perico Heist has been a fan favorite since its release for several reasons. For starters, it takes place on an exotic island outside of Los Santos – a welcome switch-up fans had been clamoring for.
It also features multiple targets whom you’re free to tackle as you wish. So, you could go in all guns blazing or opt for a stealthy approach like you’re Agent 47. And the cherry on top is that the heist can be completed by solo players, meaning they can take the entire haul for themselves.
As part of the setup, you’ll need to tick off a few odd jobs and scope out the island, but these can be completed pretty quickly. The heist itself can be wrapped up in just 10 minutes, which makes the time-to-payout ratio downright insane. It’s pretty obvious why the Cayo Perico Heist is the go-to cash grind for solo players. And it also happens to be the best heist in GTA 5.

Apple is set to unveil a dramatic redesign in its next iPhone 17 Pro. Leaked photographs of new phone cases by Majin Bu are revealing major clues about the device’s overall appearance.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Brings a Bold New Appearance
Image Credit: @MajinBuOfficial
The most dramatic shift is the camera island. It’s significantly larger now. Apple kept its familiar triple-lens setup but put them on a larger, redesigned platform. This new form factor is quite different from past iPhone designs.
Many have compared the new camera interface to the one found in Google’s Pixel phones. This suggests that Apple is departing from its typical minimalist design style. The aggressive new look is decidedly different from what the company had been trending with.
Image Credit: @MajinBuOfficial
Leaks also show official cases for the iPhone 17 Pro. They come in different fashion colors. The cases appear as though they have been designed to accompany and highlight the new camera module. They offer a clearer idea of how the phone will look when in regular use. The design seems to be more expressive and colorful than what Apple has shown lately.
Notably, this design will be implemented only on the iPhone 17 Pro. The regular iPhone 17 will probably have the same design as the iPhone 16. There is also rumor about a new one, the iPhone 17 Air. It might have a thinner body with a smaller camera bump. This may be for people who prefer thin and light phones.
Currently, it is uncertain how the fans will respond to the changes. Some might adore the new, bold appearance. Some may like Apple’s traditional, plain look.
Either way, there is no doubt Apple is experimenting with something different. Whether this will be a success or failure depends on the users’ reactions.
What do you think of the new appearance? Is it a good move, or too big a change? Let us know in the comments.
