    Sanchez, Matic named in Manchester United squad for Barcelona clash

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been handed a boost ahead of the trip to Barcelona with the return of Alexis Sanchez and Nemanja Matic.

    Alexis Sanchez and Nemanja Matic have been named in Manchester United’s squad for the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Barcelona on Tuesday.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side travel to Camp Nou looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the opening encounter at Old Trafford last week.

    Former Barca forward Sanchez has not played since injuring his knee against Southampton on March 2, while Matic’s last outing was in a Premier League game against Watford on March 30.

    Matteo Darmian could make his first appearance since January, having been included in Solskjaer’s 22-man group.

    Luke Shaw – whose own goal settled the first leg in Barca’s favour – was also named despite the fact he is suspended after picking up a yellow card against LaLiga’s reigning champions last week.

    Fact Check: Asad Umar was NOT removed from his position as the Finance Minister

    Claim: ARY News ran the headline that Asad Umar was removed from his position as Finance Minister

    Fact: Severl PTI polticians clarified on Twitter that Asad Umar is still the Finance Minister

    Prime Minister Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has made major shuffles within its cabinet, removing at least five cabinet members, including Finance Minister Asad Umar, media reports claimed Monday.

    Among other ministers were interior and petroleum ministers, reports said.

    While it was claimed that Umar will be handed over the portfolio of the petroleum minister instead, amid all the confusion, The Current went the extra mile for verification of the claims.

    “No such decision to change ministries or the ministers’ portfolios has been taken,”
    PTI Public Relations head said.

    Not later, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry also stepped up to refute the claims.

    “No truth to reports claiming change in the portfolios of ministers,” he tweeted, adding that “media should act responsibly”. The info minister further said that spreading such rumours wasn’t in better interests of the country.

    Verdict: FALSE
