Premier League: Amorim's new-look United fall 0-1 to Arsenal at Old Trafford
Despite being the side dictating tempo for much of the contest, United lacked sharpness in the final third. They created half-chances but failed to truly test David Raya in the Arsenal goal. The Gunners, meanwhile, were content to sit deep after their opener, soaking up pressure and protecting their slender lead with disciplined defending.The match ended with United feeling they had let the game slip. Arsenal, while not at their fluent best, will be relieved to have ground out three points away from home.For Amorim, however, the pressure will mount quickly. Backed heavily in the summer transfer window after last season's struggles, the Portuguese coach knows that results will be demanded immediately. United's fans, still scarred from a poor 2024-25 campaign, will expect a quick response when the team returns to action.- EndsMust Watch

Nottingham Forest Sign French Forward Arnaud Kalimuendo From Rennes
French striker Arnaud Kalimuendo has signed a five-year contract with Nottingham Forest, the Premier League club announced on Monday. According to French media, the transfer paid to ex-club Rennes is believed to be at least 30 million euros ($35 million). "Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Arnaud Kalimuendo, who joins the club on a five-year deal," read a statement on the English club's website. The 23-year-old came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain, before enjoying a breakthrough season at Ligue 1 side Rennes last year when he netted 18 times in 34 appearances in all competitions. Prior to joining Rennes in 2022, he made five appearances for PSG and enjoyed success during loan spells at Lens -- scoring 21 goals in 65 outings. "When I heard about the interest from Forest, I was honoured. This is a proud moment for me, joining a team who had a strong season last year and a club with great history," said Kalimuendo. "I'm ready for the challenge, and I arrive here with good experience. I had a good season last year with goals and assists but I want more and want to reach a new level here." Two-time European champions Nottingham Forest finished the 2024/25 season in seventh place after surprisingly spending much of the season in the Premier League's top three. Before the start of the new campaign, manager Nuno Espirito Santo endured a disappointing pre-season -- no wins and only one goal scored in seven matches -- and a disappointing transfer window. However, Forest kickstarted the season with a comfortable 3-1 win over Brentford on Sunday and new signings have begun arriving at the City Ground. The recent additions of winger Dan Ndoye, playmaker Omari Hutchinson and ex-Manchester City midfielder James McAtee have bolstered Nuno's squad. "It's been a busy few days for us — the culmination of a lot of hard work from our staff over a number of weeks," said Forest chief football officer Ross Wilson.

A man arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during the opening game of the Premier League season has been banned from every football stadium in the UK. The match against Liverpool at Anfield on Friday was briefly stopped in the first half after Semenyo reported the incident to the referee.

As part of his bail conditions, he cannot attend any regulated football match in the UK, and is not allowed within a mile of any football stadium. A police investigation into the incident is ongoing. Ghana international Semenyo went on to score twice as Bournemouth came back from two goals down, but Liverpool eventually won 4-2.

Rohit Sharma Trains Hard In Gym With Ex-India Coach For Next ODI Series: See Viral Pic
Last Updated: Rohit Sharma, India's ODI captain, is preparing for the three-match series against Australia starting October 19. India's one-day captain Rohit Sharma has started intense preparations for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia, set to begin on October 19. Although he announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier this year, Rohit remains the face of India's ODI team. A recent picture of Rohit working out in the gym with former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has gone viral on social media. Rohit's last international appearance was during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where India remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, clinching the title by defeating New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Stadium. Rohit played a crucial role in leading the team, both as a captain and with his batting. After the Champions Trophy, he played for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he regained his form midway through the season, scoring 418 runs in 15 matches. However, during the tournament, Rohit announced his retirement from Test cricket, having already stepped away from T20Is earlier. Hence, ODIs are now the only international format where fans can watch him play for India. Earlier, former India cricketer Yograj Singh had sparked discussions about Rohit's longevity in international cricket. He strongly feels the Indian skipper can continue playing until the age of 45, provided he maintains his fitness rigorously. 'The man about whom so many people speak rubbish, Rohit Sharma, I said that day that Rohit will be my man, the man, my man," Yograj told News18 CricketNext. 'The way he batted, his batting one side and the rest of the team's batting on the other side. His innings on one side and the rest of the world on the other. That's his class. You can say, 'Rohit, aapki hume 5 saal aur zarurat hai yaar' (Rohit, we need you for five more years, man) so please do more for your country, work on your fitness and everything. Put four men on him, make him run 10 kilometres every morning. He has the class to play till 45 years of age, if he wants." 'I believe you should play domestic cricket; the more you play that, the fitter you'll be. Who got the Man of the Match in the final? Rohit Sharma. So you should only talk about things that you know. If you want to talk about his game and fitness, do that only if you have played at some level. Do you feel ashamed for talking like this?" he added. view comments Location : Mumbai, India, India First Published: News cricket Rohit Sharma Trains Hard In Gym With Ex-India Coach For Next ODI Series: See Viral Pic Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
