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

:00:00.:00:08.

Coming up: A new portrait of the Queen is unveiled in New Zealand.

:00:09.:00:11.

And the amazing time-lapse footage of Scotland's newest landmark.

:00:12.:00:20.

First up, we're talking Manchester United, a football team that have

:00:21.:00:24.

been the best in the country for 20 years but not at the moment. They

:00:25.:00:27.

currently sit seventh in the league and were knocked out of the

:00:28.:00:31.

Champions League last night. They've got fans all over the world, and we

:00:32.:00:34.

know loads of you support them as well. But if their bad form

:00:35.:00:39.

continues, will we soon be seeing less Man Utd shirts in the

:00:40.:00:42.

playground? In the past, the teams with the most fans were usually the

:00:43.:00:47.

most successful on the pitch. Back in the 1970s and '80s, Liverpool

:00:48.:00:50.

dominated football, and lots of kids supported them. Then, from the

:00:51.:00:55.

1990s, it was Manchester United's turn. Last year, they won a

:00:56.:01:00.

record-breaking 20th league title. For Manchester United, this season

:01:01.:01:03.

hasn't gone to plan. They currently sit seventh in the Premier League,

:01:04.:01:07.

and last night they were knocked out of the Champions League. So will

:01:08.:01:10.

Manchester United fans be changing their shirts to another club? Some

:01:11.:01:17.

of the kids that go to this school in Wrexham in Wales don't have a

:01:18.:01:20.

local Premier League team to follow so support Manchester United as well

:01:21.:01:25.

as the local club. United are still a good team, but they're not doing

:01:26.:01:29.

as well as Liverpool, people might want to go to success. If my friends

:01:30.:01:34.

switched from Manchester United to another team, I'd be very

:01:35.:01:38.

disappointed in them. I like to support Man U and Chelsea. But

:01:39.:01:41.

football fans don't always support a team just because they're a success.

:01:42.:01:44.

Some families have supported the same club for generations regardless

:01:45.:01:49.

of the results. However, with Liverpool back at the top of the

:01:50.:01:52.

league, could we soon be seeing a lot more Gerrards and a lot less

:01:53.:01:59.

Rooneys on the back of shirts? Over on the web, Hashil told us:

:02:00.:02:12.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have unveiled a new portrait of the

:02:13.:02:18.

Queen. Watch out for flashes here. They revealed the picture at an

:02:19.:02:22.

event in New Zealand as part of their tour of the country. In the

:02:23.:02:25.

painting, the Queen is shown wearing a silver brooch in the shape of a

:02:26.:02:29.

fern, which is the emblem of New Zealand.

:02:30.:02:32.

Finally, check out this time-lapse video of Scotland's newest landmark,

:02:33.:02:36.

the Kelpies, being built. The 30-metre-high horse structures can

:02:37.:02:40.

be found in Falkirk, and the film of them being constructed is going to

:02:41.:02:43.

be shown at a festival in America as part of a week-long celebration of

:02:44.:02:51.

Scotland. That's all from me. Nel's back on

:02:52.:02:55.

the Newsround sofa bright and early in the morning.
