Is everything finally beginning to click into place for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United?
It feels as if Amorim has constantly been under pressure since taking on the poisoned chalice of the Red Devils gig, but recent results are now pointing in the direction that the Manchester side’s ongoing patience with their ex-Sporting boss is finally paying off, with an emphatic 4-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion picked up on Saturday pushing the regular Premier League underachievers into a temporary top four position.
While a number of his new flashy summer recruits did stand out against the Seagulls, it was another night where Bruno Fernandes shone in attack, too, with the Portuguese playmaker very rarely falling victim to an off-day.
Why Bruno Fernandes was a standout
The alleged £47m forked out to land the skillful 31-year-old back in 2020 continues to look like a very wise use of cash.
Indeed, although he didn’t get in on the goalscoring act during the impressive 4-2 victory, he still managed to be a driving force for his team centrally to push them up the pitch, with three successful marauds forward tallied up by the much-loved number eight come the full-time whistle.
With nine ground duels won, the ever-present ace is still definitely proving his worth as a livewire, with plenty of credit in his bank for the season overall, as well, having assisted Harry Maguire’s late dramatic winner against Liverpool the match before this jubilant win back at Old Trafford.
With 187 goal contributions now next to his name donning United red, per Transfermarkt, it’s clear that Fernandes is one of the Premier League’s greatest transfer steals in recent memory.
Yet, there is a fresh, emerging hero in Amorim’s ranks who could already be viewed as another Bruno-like swipe, with the ace in question instantly hitting the ground running at the Theatre of Dreams after a statement £65m switch in the summer.
Man Utd have now uncovered their "best signing since Bruno"
Significant changes were needed in the summer in the Old Trafford attacking department, with a goal-shy Rasmus Hojlund not cutting the mustard up top.
Benjamin Sesko has already shown signs of promise as the Red Devils’ new leading marksman with two Premier League strikes next to his name, but it’s his attacking teammate against the Seagulls in Bryan Mbeumo who has been receiving the highest possible praise, having bagged a blistering two goals up against a leaky Bart Verbruggen.
Mbeumo doesn’t look fazed whatsoever by the pressures of being one of United’s main attacking sparks, much like Fernandes, who instantly slotted into the daunting Old Trafford environment all those years ago, with both of his confidently dispatched efforts against Brighton taking his Premier League goal tally to a weighty 46 overall for both Amorim and Co. and Brentford.
Five of those strikes have already come about as United’s flashy new number 19, but it’s his overall attacking game – away from his clinical edge in front of goal – that further places him on the pedestal of being the illustrious club’s “best signing since Bruno” in the eyes of statistician Statman Dave.

On another night, the Cameroonian could well have had an assist next to his name, with two big chances created off the back of Mbeumo, constantly wanting to bomb forward and entertain, much like a relentless Fernandes has shown he is capable of across his successful spell in England to date.
Deservedly so, Mbeumo would also be handed a 9/10 post-match rating by the Daily Express’ Archie Griggs, who simply stated that the red-hot 26-year-old was ‘the best player on the pitch’.
Further hailed as a star who has the “hunger to deliver a different level” by Sky Sports’ Gary Neville, it will be intriguing to see if United can keep up this winning sequence of games moving forward, as an Mbeumo-led effort potentially restores the Red Devils to their former glories.
With Matheus Cunha also at Amorim’s disposal, it really does feel like now or never for the Lisbon-born manager to bring successful days back to the red half of Manchester, with Fernandes lurking in the background also a wonderful asset to have on side.

England captain hints his side will bat first given the chance, with heatwave in prospect this week
Matt Roller09-Jul-2025
Ben Stokes chose to bowl in the second Test but on this occasion it backfired•Associated Press
Ben Stokes has insisted that England are not “stuck in our ways” about wanting to bowl first and hinted that he will choose to bat if he wins the toss at Lord’s on Thursday. Stokes has won the toss and opted to bowl 10 times out of 12 in home Tests as captain – including two out of two in this series – but denied that it is either England’s “preference” or “a tactic of ours”.England chased down 373 in the fourth innings at Headingley to vindicate Stokes’ decision to bowl, but Brendon McCullum conceded that they had made an error at Edgbaston after they failed to bat out the final day and slipped to a 336-run defeat.Stokes has chosen to bowl first 12 times out of 20 overall, but has only twice chosen to bat first in home Tests: against West Indies at the Utilita Bowl in 2020, deputising for Joe Root, and against Australia at Edgbaston in 2023. England lost both of those Tests, and have won seven out of 10 at home when Stokes has chosen to bowl.They have a strong record in run-chases under Stokes’ leadership, winning 11 out of 18 matches in which they have batted in the fourth innings including six successful chases of 250-plus targets. But Stokes said that his decision usually comes down simply to overhead conditions, and played down the significance of the toss.!function(){“use strict”;window.addEventListener(“message”,function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[“datawrapper-height”]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(“iframe”);for(var t in a.data[“datawrapper-height”])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[“datawrapper-height”][t]+”px”;r.style.height=d}}})}();
“We are not stuck in our ways about it,” Stokes said. “I want to make that clear. It’s something that’s been built up. We bowled first at Edgbaston because there were decent overhead conditions, but that soon changed; the clouds broke off and the sun came out. I’m not the Met Office, so I can’t tell what’s going to happen after 10.30am.”A heatwave is anticipated in London during the Lord’s Test, with temperatures of 30 degrees celsius forecast, and Stokes hinted that he will likely choose to bat if he wins the toss. “Lord’s is meant to be really hot this week,” he said. “If that is the case and the sun is out, blazing, I think whoever wins the toss will end up doing the same thing.Related

“Because we’ve had good success at chasing down totals in the fourth innings, it doesn’t mean that’s our preference… It’s not a tactic of ours to consistently bowl, if we win the toss.”There’s nothing whatsoever to say we are stuck in our ways, but because we are very confident in our ability to get ourselves into a position in a Test match to be able to chase down a total in the fourth innings, I guess that’s why, if it is slightly bowler-friendly conditions in the morning, why we might mentally look to do that.”Stokes said that he will try to avoid thinking too deeply about the decision ahead of the third Test. “You can go back and forth if you’re thinking about it 14 hours before the toss the night before,” he said. “There’s a little bit of discussion around in the morning, but when I get the whites out with the blazer on, I look up to the sky more than anything. It’s not rocket science.”McCullum, England’s coach, requested a pitch with “plenty of life in it” offering pace, bounce, and lateral movement after the Edgbaston Test, but Stokes expects a typical Lord’s surface.”Lord’s generally plays the same way,” he said. “There’s always a bit in it on day one to two; then if anything, it tends to speed up as the game goes longer. I watched a bit of the World Test Championship [final] and it was the same then.”
O Cruzeiro perdeu para o Coritiba por 1 a 0 neste sábado (11), na Vila Capanema, pela 34ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, e se complicou na luta contra o rebaixamento. Robson, atacante do Coxa, marcou o único gol do duelo nos acréscimos da segunda etapa, em partida marcada por confronto entre torcedores.

A primeira etapa começou com a equipe mineira pressionando a saída de bola adversária, mas sem conseguir levar perigo a meta defendida pelo goleiro Gabriel. Aos poucos, o Coxa entrou na partida e quase marcou com Slimani, após falha de Leandro Castán. Porém, Rafael Cabral abafou o arremate de maneira espetacular e evitou o gol do atacante argelino.
Na segunda etapa, a Raposa voltou atacando o adversário, principalmente pelo lado direito do Coritiba, que tentou levar perigo nos contra-ataques. Aos 34 minutos, Bruno Rodrigues finalizou sem chances de defesa para Gabriel. No entanto, o gol foi anulado por impedimento após análise do VAR.
No apagar das luzes, Robson apareceu nas costas da zaga cruzeirense para finalizar de primeira e garantir a vitória do Coritiba. O gol revoltou a torcida do clube mineiro, que invadiu o gramado e protagonizou uma briga generalizada com torcedores locais. Os jogadores de ambas as equipes deixaram o campo, e policiais do batalhão de choque precisaram conter a confusão. Depois de mais de 30 minutos de paralisação, o jogo foi retomado e terminou com vitória do Coxa.
O QUE VEM POR AÍ?
O Coritiba encara o Fluminense, no Maracanã, no sábado (25), às 21h (de Brasília). Já o Cruzeiro, enfrenta o Fortaleza, no sábado (18), às 18h30 (de Brasília), na Arena Castelão.
Youngster Diego Leon may “not have to wait much longer” for his senior Manchester United debut.
Despite only turning 18 in April 2025, Leon had already made over 30 appearances in senior football with Cerro Porteno in his native Paraguay. Since joining the Red Devils in the summer, Leon has played exclusively for the Man United Under-21s, where he has caught the eye with his performances.
Leon is evidently an exciting talent and Man United, no doubt, will aim to avoid a repeat of what happened with Alvaro Carreras. The teenager has been in several matchday squads for Ruben Amorim’s side, who have acquired 10 points from an available 12 in their previous four games.
Reports from Leon’s home continent of South America, as per The Peoples Person, have suggested that the wing-back could soon be handed his senior debut at Old Trafford.
Leon is highly thought of at Carrington
Manchester United players huddle before the match
To be part of a Premier League squad in any capacity is a sign that Amorim has been impressed by Leon. As per journalist Christian Martin, the Paraguayan is a firm part of the club’s plans going forward.
Having signed in January, Patrick Dorgu is yet to make a strong impression for Man United. Formerly of Lecce, the left-sided player has not started a game for the Red Devils since a 3-1 loss against Brentford at the end of September.
Diogo Dalot has been starting as the left-wing-back in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system since Dorgu was dropped. Naturally suited to the right-hand side, Dalot has also struggled in the position and given the injury troubles that both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have faced in recent years, Leon could well soon find himself involved in a first-team game.
Reportedly, Leon will “get his chance sooner rather than later.” Top flight football in Paraguay is, of course, a different level to the English Premier League, but Leon has already played consistent senior football, a rarity for a player of such a young age.
When exactly Leon will receive his chance remains to be seen, but given the impressions he has been making since arriving in the summer, it surely can not be long until the Paraguay international makes his bow for the Red Devils.

Former Australia coach Tim Nielsen will take over as Australia’s Under-19s coach ahead of the upcoming series against India Under-19s with the World Cup on the horizon but Australia’s squad won’t feature star batter Oliver Peake as he will be touring with the Australia A team.Cricket Australia announced a 15-man squad for the upcoming home series against India Under-19s in Brisbane and Mackay starting next month, which will feature three 50-over matches and two four-day games. The three Youth ODIs will be played on September 21, 24 and 26 at Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane. The first Youth Test will be held at the same venue starting on September 30 while the second will played in Mackay from October 7.Nielsen, 57, coached Australia’s men’s team between 2007 and 2011, having been a long-time assistant to former Australia coach John Buchanan before that, as well as being head coach of CA’s Centre of Excellence, a position that no longer exists.Related

Following his stint with Australia’s men, Nielsen was South Australia and Adelaide Striker’s long-time high performance manager before resigning in February 2024. He took up a brief post as Pakistan’s high-performance red-ball coach alongside close friend and long-time colleague Jason Gillespie when the latter was Pakistan’s Test coach in 2024.Nielsen returns to a development role at CA after Lachlan Stevens resigned as CA’s development coach earlier this year and his first duty will be to lead an Under-19s squad in their last bilateral series before the Under-19s World Cup in January in Zimbabwe and Namibia.Australia’s 15-player squad looks very different to the one CA sent to India in September and October last year, where they were beaten soundly 2-0 in the Youth Test series and 3-0 in the Youth ODI series.

Suryavanshi has been named in India’s Under-19 squad to tour Australia. But Peake, who made a century in the second youth Test in India last year, has been selected on Australia A’s tour of India that will occur at the same time, following an impressive first-class debut for Victoria in March and scoring 92 for Australia A against Sri Lanka A last month. Peake, 18, is still eligible to play in the Under-19s World Cup next year but it remains to be seen whether he will given he is contracted to Melbourne Renegades in the BBL and a key part of Victoria’s plans for the upcoming Sheffield Shield season.”We’re excited to continue our preparation for the ongoing ICC U19 World cup cycle, with an exciting squad of emerging players,”CA’s Head of National Development Sonya Thompson said.”This series against India provides a valuable opportunity for our young players to experience international cricket in white-ball and red-ball formats, and to test themselves against a high-quality opponent.”The multi-format tour is designed to challenge players to adapt and grow, while also giving selectors and coaches meaningful insights ahead of the National U19 Championships in December.”We’re also thrilled to welcome Tim Nielsen as Head Coach of the National U19 squad. His extensive international experience and leadership will be instrumental in guiding and inspiring Australia’s next generation of cricketers.Australia Under-19 squad: Simon Budge, Alex Turner, Steve Hogan, Will Malajczuk, Yash Deshmukh, Tom Hogan, Aryan Sharma, John James, Hayden Schiller, Charles Lachmund, Ben Gordon, Will Byrom, Kasey Barton, Alex Lee Young, Jayden Draper
O Palmeiras venceu o São Bernardo por 1 a 0 nesta quinta-feira (15), pelo Paulistão, e Abel Ferreira abordou diversos assuntos além do triunfo alviverde. Jorge Jesus, ex-técnico do Flamengo, e Flaco López foram alguns dos temas da entrevista.

De acordo com Abel, seu sucesso no Brasil também está ligado ao do compatriota, que protagonizou temporada histórica em 2019 pelo Rubro-Negro.
– Se estou aqui é porque outro treinador se aventurou pela Europa afora, fez sucesso, que é o (José) Mourinho, e abriu portas para outros. Teve outro que atravessou o Atlântico para vir ao Brasil quando ninguém queria. E falou maravilhas, que é o Jorge Jesus, que abriu portas para mim, por exemplo. Vieram outros. A competência dos treinadores não tem nacionalidade – disse.

Artilheiro do Palmeiras no ano, Flaco López está com moral junto a Abel Ferreira. Porém, o treinador colocou “pé no freio” na empolgação e lembrou as críticas sofridas pelo argentino no início da passagem pelo Verdão.
Além disso, o técnico citou o caso do colombiano Borja, que não foi bem no Alviverde e hoje atua no River Plate.
– (Flaco) É o mesmo jogador que vocês criticavam há cinco ou seis meses… Aqui, as pessoas querem meter a semente e que ela no outro dia germine. Plantam hoje pra colher amanhã. Não é assim que funciona. Ninguém cresce de um dia para o outro. Sabemos o que fomos contratar, o potencial que ele tinha. Já quero colocar gelo. Já disse, é preciso tempo e paciência. Não só pra ele, mas para todos os jovens. Temos o Zé, o Veiga. O Veiga hoje é ídolo, mas já foi amassado, queimaram camisas. Eles têm isso na memória.

Está bem no River. Entre outros. Pedro foi vaiado no Flamengo, Hulk no Atlético. A cobrança aqui é muito grande – concluiu.

سخر الإسباني بيب جوارديولا، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي مانشستر سيتي من الغرامات الموقعة عليه من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بسبب تأخيره.
وتحدث جوارديولا خلال المؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بمباراة فريقه أمام نيوكاسل يونايتد ضمن منافسات الجولة الثانية عشر من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
وانتقد مدرب مانشستر سيتي الغرامات المتكررة التي يفرضها عليه الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لتأخره عن الشوط الثاني من المباريات.
وأعرب عن استيائه لكن بطريقة مازحة مُذكرًا بأنه ليس الوحيد الذي يتأخر عن المباريات، وأن قواعد الدوري الإنجليزي الصارمة يجب أن تُطبق على المحترفين الآخرين أيضًا.
وفقًا لموندو ديبورتيفو، فإن الغرامات الموقعة على جوارديولا ونادي مانشستر سيتي أكثر من 3 ملايين جنيه إسترليني (3.4 مليون يورو) بسبب 30 مرة تأخر فيها نزوله للشوط الثاني في آخر 3 مواسم.

وقال جوارديولا: “الغرامات؟ إنها كثيرة، أحيانًا أتأخر دقيقة واحدة لكن القواعد ثابتة، نتدرب لاحقًا وإذا تدربنا من الساعة 12 إلى 1:30، فلن أتمكن من الحضور (في المؤتمر الصحفي) في الوقت المحدد”.
وأكمل: “الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز لا يسمح لي بالحضور الساعة 2 ظهرًا، قال لي النادي إنه إذا لم أبدأ التدريب الساعة 2 ظهرًا، فسيتم تغريمي أنا أو النادي”.
وأضاف: “ندفع مبالغ طائلة لتأخري عن استراحة الشوط الأول ولكن عندما لعبنا نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، كان هناك عرض قبل المباراة، ودائمًا ما يتأخرون”.
وأتم جوارديولا تصريحاته قائلًا: “يجب أن يقوموا بتغريم المغنيين! لهذا السبب قررت البدء في التاسعة صباحًا، عندما يكون الصحفيون قد تناولوا فطورهم واحتسوا القهوة”.
