Jamal Musiala reveals childhood memories of Old Trafford ahead of Man Utd clash

Jamal Musiala spoke about Old Trafford in glowing terms before his Bayern Munich team face Manchester United at the iconic stadium in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Musiala, expected to be a future Ballon d'Or contender, seemed genuinely in awe of his surroundings and the "History" when he spoke to the media at the 'Theatre of Dreams' on Monday evening.

"Old Trafford is definitely a stadium that lots of kids would love to play in," the Germany international said. "There is so much history there and when I was younger, the Old Trafford games always had a good atmosphere. I think the atmosphere will be amazing."

Bayern head coach Thomas Tuchel, who has previously managed both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea as visiting teams at Old Trafford, said similar about the "special moments" and the "electricity" that the 113-year-old venue can produce.

"You see in their strong moments how strong they are and [Old Trafford] plays a big role. The spectators are emotional and the stadium creates special moments," Tuchel explained.

"It is a difficult place to come and play, but it is a good challenge for us. For me personally, a Game in Manchester United is always a big Game. It cannot be described in any other way.

"[Old Trafford] is one of the biggest stages in football. It has a certain aura and electricity around it. When they are good, they are really, really good and very dangerous in all positions."

The Bayern boss is wary of a United side desperate to win, with their Champions League status on the line – only a victory for Erik ten Hag's side and a draw in the group's other Game between Copenhagen and Galatasaray will see them progress to the knockout rounds.

"They are always a dangerous team," Tuchel added. "My experience is that it is always dangerous to play Manchester United. They have a certain aura and certain mentality that makes them difficult to defeat. That is part of the DNA of the club that they can overcome difficult moments."

About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay NEW YORK -- About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay, according to a newspaper report. The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city. Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that New York would start giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out of city shelter s. The policy has since been extended to families with children, and tightened to 30 days for adults not accompanied by youngsters. Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...

Rumors about this case first began circulating in the 1950s, although details were not widely known until 1977. This case shares similarities with the Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash of 1955 and the Coyame UFO Incident of 1974, both of which reportedly also occurred along the Texas-Mexico border. According to Texas Monthly, talk of a UFO crash near Laredo first surfaced in the 1950s[2] , with additional details being released in 1978 by the late Leonard Stringfield, one of the first UFO researchers to advocate serious investigation of reported UFO crashes. Stringfield wrote, “In the Fall of 1977, new word of a 1948 crash came to me from a well-informed Military source. His information, however, was scanty. ...
