Please help me understand the concept
AlpheccaStarsroky0071It would be correct to write the sentence above in noun phrase with no tense for news headlines such as " Manchester United winning."?It is usual in a real-time live blog commentary that follows the game as it is played. It's not particularly good for print media because the game will be over before anyone reads it.
In a game or tournament that spans multiple days, it would be OK. For example, the World Series in American baseball is a set of up to 7 games alternately played in the hometowns of each team. The team that wins four games gets the title. e.g. In the 2009 World Series, on October 31, the Yankees had won 2 games and the Phillies, 1. The headline could read "Yankees winning 2-1"
Ok, could you please tell me how would be the sentence below in print media?
"Yankees winning 2-1"

It's possible, but most actual headlines are more creative, using the simple present tense.
