Megan Thee Stallion is in boss mode with a brand new collab. Recently, the Hot Girl Coach dropped her latest collection with Nike, which is just for the Hotties. The “Hot Girl Systems” collection is inspired by the H-Town rapper and helps illuminate everyone’s inner Hottie. “For the hot girls doing hot things. @theestallion’s first collection with Nike, Hot Girl Systems, is here,” said the joint announcement shared by Nike and the “Hiss” rapper on Instagram.

Manchester United have been dealt a huge blow, with Luke Shaw suffering another injury setback, leaving England sweating ahead of Euro 2024. Shaw started in United’s 2-1 victory over Luton Town on Sunday but couldn’t make it to halftime before being forced off through injury. According to reports, the full-back suffered a recurrence of a leg problem that has already seen him miss three months of action this term. He is now a doubt for the remainder of the club season, naturally throwing his contention for England’s Euro 2024 squad into doubt as well.
Shaw’s return from that three-month lay-off only came on February 11 against Aston Villa, when the full-back was brought on as a half-time substitute in an eventual 2-1 win. Erik ten Hag’s decision to start the England international just a week later will now be scrutinized, as his absence will be sorely felt at the back. Reports note that Shaw will likely miss all 13 of United’s remaining Premier League games as well as the remainder of their FA Cup campaign. This will be a hammer blow in their bid for a top-four spot, especially considering Lisandro Martinez’s long-term absence.
