The Utd 25/26 script.
After a disaster window.
Utd will start the season poorly
Amorim will of course get sacked.
With the pressure high. Some idiot at INEOS will remember how nostalgic fans were when Rudd was hired. With no budget for a big manager?

Doctors do not own CT/MRI machines in most cases. These are run by diagnostic centers or private labs.
The variation in cost is not because of the doctor but because of market pricing, equipment quality, location, subsidies, and negotiations.
Doctors are legally and ethically accountable for every diagnosis. If a CT scan is missed and a disease is not detected, it is the doctor who is blamed not the lab.
So when a doctor advises a scan, it is usually to avoid risk to the patient’s health, not to make money.
The commission myth
While malpractices do exist in some places, it is wrong to generalize that all doctors take 30–50% commission.
In reality, many ethical doctors get no commission at all they only refer to centers they trust for quality and accuracy of reports
Blaming the entire medical community is like saying all politicians are corrupt or all police take bribes ,a sweeping generalization that is unfair.
Why prices vary so much
A ₹7,000 scan may be done on a high end, latest CT machine in a corporate hospital with 24/7 emergency care.
A ₹3,000 scan may be at a charity trust with subsidized rates.
A ₹1,100 scan may be possible due to personal contacts, discounts, or older machines.
Just like airline tickets or hotel rooms, the same service can have different prices depending on where you go.
The vast majority of doctors in India work for modest salaries (₹30,000–80,000/month in government/private hospitals) despite putting in 24–36 hour shifts.
Many provide free consultations, free samples, and discounted treatments quietly, without publicity.
Branding them as mafia is deeply demoralizing for a profession built on trust and sacrifice.
Kyaka Central MP Tom Bright Amooti, who was declared the NRM flag bearer for the 2026 General Election, has accused a rival of rigging the party primaries by inflating polling stations and using refugees to vote. Despite facing a petition himself, Amooti said the final tally confirmed his victory and, has urged fellow leaders to reject tribalism and focus on unity. Today marks the final day for hearing NRM MP election petitions, with rulings expected to follow. #MonitorUpdates
