Product categories seeing some of the biggest price hikes due to tariffs include furniture, car parts, electronics and musical instruments, according to economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The findings are based on research models estimating tariff-related price hikes and drawing on Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, a widely used gauge of inflation.

The Red Devils needed to rid themselves of Rashford, both in pursuit of a new rebuild in their never-ending series of them, and because Rashford's career at his boyhood club was essentially dead and buried after receiving the ire of fans and club legends alike.
