Manchester United fans are worried Cristiano Ronaldo's days as a world class finisher could be over after he missed an open goal against Southampton on Saturday.The 37-year-old fluffed his lines completely after rounding Fraser Forster in the box with the goal at his mercy before prodding the ball limply towards the net, only to see it easily cleared by Saints defender Romain Perraud.The match finished 1-1 after Jadon Sancho gave United the lead in the first-half before Southampton hit back through Che Adams immediately after the restart.Ronaldo now hasn't scored for six consecutive matches - his longest drought since 2009 - and it's beginning to get to the United faithful, who appear to be losing faith in him."Ronaldo: finished," tweeted one fan after the game."Maguire needs to be binned and maybe Ronaldo too.

EXCLUSIVE: TNT is developing Unknown, a one-hour drama based on the 2011 Liam Neeson action-thriller boxoffice hit. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and produced by Dark Castle Entertainment, the film told the story of Martin Harris (Neeson), a doctor who lost his memory after a car accident and woke up to find his identity taken and the target of mysterious assassins.

Completing a loose trio of ice-themed films, after 2011’s “The Grey” and 2019’s “Cold Pursuit,” the Liam Neeson-starring “The Ice Road” is a serviceable, if incredibly convoluted, addition to a recent run of bland action movies that ask the actor to do the bare minimum— scowling as things explode around him.

Pierce Brosnan is weighing in on just who should take over the reigns as James Bond in the movie franchise.

Pierce Brosnan has a couple of suggestions for the next actor to play James Bond.

Liam Neeson is a hugely successful and massively talented actor so it comes as no surprise that he was being considered for the role of James Bond back in the nineties.

James Bond in the future, citing Tom Hardy and Idris Elba as good fits for the role.The actor played the iconic fictional spy between 1995 and 2002, appearing in the films GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day.Speaking to People, Brosnan said it was sometimes “wearisome” to always be asked on who should step into the role next. However, he went on to share who he would pick to succeed Daniel Craig.“Idris Elba comes to mind,” he said.

If Liam Neeson wanted to marry Natasha Richardson, he had to turn down one specific acting role: James Bond. The 69-year-old actor shared the tidbit once again during an interview on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" Thursday.

Liam Neeson paid a virtual visit to “The Late Late Show” to promote his new Netflix movie “The Ice Road”.

Liam Neeson was one of the many whose name was mentioned whenever a new Bond movie was announced.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticAs if the Frozen North hadn’t already given him enough grief in “The Grey” and “Cold Pursuit,” Liam Neeson is back for more chilly punishment with “The Ice Road.” Jonathan Hensleigh’s first feature as writer-director since “Kill the Irishman” a decade ago has the star as one of three drivers making a dangerous journey to deliver equipment needed to rescue trapped miners in Northern Manitoba.Just about every possible peril turns up to thwart their mission en route, making for an increasingly implausible action movie that will entertain most viewers, but also perhaps make them feel a bit played for fools.
