:00:00. > :00:08.Hey, folks. Martin here, and it's your final Newsround of the day.

:00:09. > :00:11.Coming up: A new portrait of the Queen is unveiled in New Zealand.

:00:12. > :00:20.And the amazing time-lapse footage of Scotland's newest landmark.

:00:21. > :00:24.First up, we're talking Manchester United, a football team that have

:00:25. > :00:27.been the best in the country for 20 years but not at the moment. They

:00:28. > :00:31.currently sit seventh in the league and were knocked out of the

:00:32. > :00:34.Champions League last night. They've got fans all over the world, and we

:00:35. > :00:39.know loads of you support them as well. But if their bad form

:00:40. > :00:42.continues, will we soon be seeing less Man Utd shirts in the

:00:43. > :00:47.playground? In the past, the teams with the most fans were usually the

:00:48. > :00:50.most successful on the pitch. Back in the 1970s and '80s, Liverpool

:00:51. > :00:55.dominated football, and lots of kids supported them. Then, from the

:00:56. > :01:00.1990s, it was Manchester United's turn. Last year, they won a

:01:01. > :01:03.record-breaking 20th league title. For Manchester United, this season

:01:04. > :01:07.hasn't gone to plan. They currently sit seventh in the Premier League,

:01:08. > :01:10.and last night they were knocked out of the Champions League. So will

:01:11. > :01:17.Manchester United fans be changing their shirts to another club? Some

:01:18. > :01:20.of the kids that go to this school in Wrexham in Wales don't have a

:01:21. > :01:25.local Premier League team to follow so support Manchester United as well

:01:26. > :01:29.as the local club. United are still a good team, but they're not doing

:01:30. > :01:34.as well as Liverpool, people might want to go to success. If my friends

:01:35. > :01:38.switched from Manchester United to another team, I'd be very

:01:39. > :01:41.disappointed in them. I like to support Man U and Chelsea. But

:01:42. > :01:44.football fans don't always support a team just because they're a success.

:01:45. > :01:49.Some families have supported the same club for generations regardless

:01:50. > :01:52.of the results. However, with Liverpool back at the top of the

:01:53. > :01:59.league, could we soon be seeing a lot more Gerrards and a lot less

:02:00. > :02:12.Rooneys on the back of shirts? Over on the web, Hashil told us:

:02:13. > :02:18.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have unveiled a new portrait of the

:02:19. > :02:22.Queen. Watch out for flashes here. They revealed the picture at an

:02:23. > :02:25.event in New Zealand as part of their tour of the country. In the

:02:26. > :02:29.painting, the Queen is shown wearing a silver brooch in the shape of a

:02:30. > :02:32.fern, which is the emblem of New Zealand.

:02:33. > :02:36.Finally, check out this time-lapse video of Scotland's newest landmark,

:02:37. > :02:40.the Kelpies, being built. The 30-metre-high horse structures can

:02:41. > :02:43.be found in Falkirk, and the film of them being constructed is going to

:02:44. > :02:51.be shown at a festival in America as part of a week-long celebration of

:02:52. > :02:55.Scotland. That's all from me. Nel's back on

:02:56. > :02:58.the Newsround sofa bright and early in the morning.
