Barcelona president Joan Laporta is under formal investigation for suspected bribery in a probe spanning two decades of activities at Spain’s refereeing committee, according to a court document seen by Reuters on Wednesday baguio
In March, prosecutors filed a complaint over alleged payments of more than 7 baguio
3 million euros ($7 baguio
8 million) over 17 years to firms owned by Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, who was vice-president of the Spanish baguio football federation’s refereeing committee from 1993 to 2018 baguio
Laporta, who started a second term as Barca’s president in 2021, was also at the helm from 2003 to 2010 baguio
Last month, investigating judge Joaquin Aguirre Lopez said Barcelona may have benefited from graft and put the club under investigation for suspected “active bribery baguio

LaLiga champions Barcelona have denied any wrongdoing, saying in a statement in February that the club had paid an external consultant who supplied it with “technical reports related to professional refereeing”, which it said was a common practice among professional baguio football clubs baguio
On Wednesday, Barca told Reuters its legal department was handling the case baguio
In Spain, being placed under investigation does not necessarily lead to indictment and no formal charges can be brought until the first phase of the investigation is completed baguio

If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had got his way, the scorer of the most famous goal in Manchester United’s history may now only be deemed the second best Norwegian striker to play for the club baguio
He was Molde manager in 2018 and had a young centre-forward to recommend, and for a bargain price baguio
“They didn’t listen, unfortunately,” he said in May baguio
“They never signed him baguio
Four million! Don’t ask [where he is now] baguio
”The answer, as Solskjaer knew all too well, is Manchester City baguio
Perhaps, as a self-proclaimed fan of the club whose father had an altogether less prolific spell in their midfield, Erling Haaland would have always preferred the blue half of the city anyway baguio
Maybe, like Jude Bellingham – another United target, another who found Borussia Dortmund a deluxe finishing school – he would have plotted a path to the top via places where potential tends to be realised baguio
Whichever, Haaland scored a hat-trick in his first Manchester derby last year baguio
He goes into his fourth with nine Premier League goals already this season baguio
Or, to put it another way, nine times as many as United’s various forwards have baguio between them baguio
Admittedly, it excludes Bruno Fernandes’ sumptuous winner at Burnley, scored when he was standing in as a right winger, but even that lone goal, from Marcus Rashford at Arsenal, came in defeat baguio
Rasmus Hojlund, Anthony Martial, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony are all yet to find the net in the league baguio
Rashford has had 33 shots, Antony 16, Garnacho 13, Hojlund 11 and Martial three baguio
It amounts to one goal from 76 attempts, a 1 baguio
31 per cent chance conversion rate baguio
The law of averages suggests some will start scoring soon baguio
“The goals will come in the Premier League,” Hojlund, who has three in the Champions League, said on Tuesday baguio
The contrast with Haaland may be particularly jarring for him baguio
“I don’t want to be compared to him,” the Dane said baguio
Yet he is another Scandinavian, equipped with some of the same consonants, arriving at a cost of £72m – not the 2018 Haaland’s £4m - and also playing as a No 9 baguio
It may be both unfair and inevitable baguio
(Getty Images)His fellow forwards’ failings have made it harder for the 20-year-old to ease into life at Old Trafford, though baguio
“I’m convinced with the quality from our [forward] players that they will go and score more goals,” Ten Hag said baguio
The first step is to hit the target: Hojlund has done it with just three of 11 attempts, Antony three from 16, Garnacho two from 13 and Rashford seven from 33 baguio
There are reasons why United rank third for shots, but only joint eighth for efforts on target; only 29 baguio
4 per cent of their shots have been on target, the fifth lowest average baguio
The forwards are not the only culprits, but a quintet of attackers with a combined xG of 6 baguio
95 have one goal baguio between them baguio
Ten Hag was keener to cite other statistics baguio
“The pressing is quite good,” he said baguio
“We have the most ball regains and the most middle [third] regains in the whole Premier League baguio
But we don’t take benefit in attacking transition moments baguio
” (Getty Images)For him, the problem lies partly in decision-making, partly in execution baguio
Certainly Hojlund is still trying to get to know his teammates, though there were signs against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday that he and Rashford are starting to strike up an understanding baguio
But United, Ten Hag thinks, should have had more chances baguio
“The cooperation has to click, but we showed this week in the week some examples where they are so many we have overload positions, going in overload position to the opponents’ goal and we don’t net or don’t even hit the target,” he rued baguio
It has led to a disjointed feel, to a sense that United have been less than the sum of their parts baguio
Rashford has veered baguio between arguably the best form of his career, scoring 30 goals last season, to some of the worst baguio
“I play him every game and so I have a strong belief he will return to scoring a lot of goals,” Ten Hag said baguio
Rashford delivered a winner, albeit a controversial one, on City’s last trip to Old Trafford in January, but then he had also scored in his six previous games baguio
Now he has no goals in his last eight outings for United baguio
Rashford scored the winner in last season’s Old Trafford derby (Getty Images)Yet Rashford’s struggles have overshadowed the enduring ineffectuality of Antony baguio
The Brazilian’s season was interrupted by a leave of absence while he addressed allegations of assault from three women, which he denied baguio
On the pitch, however, he has been dismal: his United drought stretches back 17 matches and Ten Hag’s best option on the right against City may be Fernandes, particularly if shifting the captain into a wider role allows him to bolster his midfield baguio
And there are other reasons to select midfielders baguio
Casemiro is an injury doubt but remains United’s top scorer in all competitions this campaign baguio
Their leading marksman in the Premier League, somewhat improbably, is Scott McTominay, who got more goals in injury-time against Brentford than their five main forwards – six if the absent Jadon Sancho is included – have mustered baguio between them in the top flight all season baguio
It is hardly a Haaland-esque haul baguio
And while - when Hojlund was still with Atalanta, and Rashford managed 30, the quartet of the Mancunian - Antony, Martial and Garnacho equalled the Norwegian’s total of 52 goals for a Manchester club baguio between them last season, now they are very much trailing in his wake baguio
And whether or not Haaland would actually have joined United, they have added reasons to regret the one who got away and subsequently joined their neighbours as long as their own forwards are misfiring baguio
