This time around it’s the turn of Erik ten Hag to dip his oar in and up the ante. No harm in that per se, but his choice of words may well invite ridicule, as the Dutchman argued that United have been better than Liverpool since his arrival at Old Trafford.

Good morning and welcome to day one of this summer’s three-Test series against Sri Lanka.

On Sunday, it was confirmed that two athletes who swam in the river last week were now suffering illness, with one, Belgium’s Claire Michel, in hospital with E.coli.

Jul 31, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | Tom Ward

Britain’s Mallory Franklin failed in her bid to win a second Olympic medal after she paid for several errors in her run in the final of C1 canoe slalom.

The C1 was won by Australian Jess Fox, who won her second gold of Paris 2024 having already taken the K1 kayak. Germany’s Elena Lilik took silver with American Evy Leibfarth winning bronze.
