Official: Šeško completes move to Man Utd
Newcastle United were the first to send an official bid, but the player was keen to join the 20-time league winners. He'll make his first Old Trafford appearance when the club host Fiorentina in a friendly today.
Šeško scored 39 goals and assisted 8 in 87 matches for Leipzig in all competitions. Josko Gvardiol's move to the other Manchester club, Man City, is still the most expensive transfer involving Leipzig.

New York Giants' Abdul Carter addresses being decleated vs. Jets
New York Giants rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter has looked otherworldly since entering the league, dominating spring and summer workouts, and making grown men look like boys in both practices and games. But one constant forever remains the same in the NFL: Every rookie will have their "welcome to the league" moment. For Carter, that moment came on Saturday night against the New York Jets when he was completely decleated by tight end Stone Smartt and then buried by offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor. It was a humbling yet frustrating moment for Carter, who wasn't interested in discussing it after the game. "It happens, but we got the win. That's all I'm worried about," he told reporters. "(Expletive) just happens on the football field, but we got the win, so we're good." Carter was limited to just 19 snaps in his MetLife Stadium debut, recording only a single tackle. His overall impact was minimal given the Jets' reliance on the run, and his lone highlight was a negative. That left the rookie salivating for a full game. "I didn't get to play a full game. I just can't wait to play a full game, but it was fun," he said. "That's going to come. I'm patient. Right now, in preseason, we've got things that I can't control, so I've just got to control what I can control. When I'm in there, just do what I do best." Carter and the Giants will return to the practice field on Tuesday before wrapping up the preseason on Thursday night against the New England Patriots. After that, Carter will get his wish and finally suit up for a full NFL game, hoping to avoid the same mistakes he made against the Jets on Saturday night.

How to find the cheapest train tickets as passengers face 5.5% rise in rail fares
Campaigners have said a potential 5.5% rise in regulated fares is 'outrageous' - but there are some ways you can save money when buying tickets. Train fares in England could jump by 5.5% next year following an uptick in UK inflation, financial analysts have warned. July's Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation - which is often used to determine increases in the cost of train tickets - will be announced on Wednesday. While the government has not confirmed how it will determine the cap in regulated fare rises for 2026, this year's hike of 4.6% was one percentage point above the RPI rate in July last year. With this July's RPI figure expected to be 4.5%, according to banking group Investec, train fares in England could jump by 5.5%. Bruce Williamson, spokesman for transport pressure group Railfuture said "it would be outrageous" if fares rose by that much, adding that there is no justification in "jacking up fares above inflation". "It's ripping off the customer, driving people off the trains and onto our congested road network, which is in no-one's interest." Chief executive of lobby group Campaign for Better Transport, Ben Plowden, warned that rising fares are "putting people off rail travel", pointing to a survey that found 71% of people would be more likely to take the train if prices were lower. With passengers facing yet another rise in fares, here is a guide on how to save as much money as possible on your train tickets. Get a Railcard There are currently nine available Railcards, depending on your situation and needs, which can knock off 1/3 of your train fare. Most Railcards can be purchased online with the option to download as a digital Railcard to your smartphone or device with our Railcard App. Some one-year Railcards can also be purchased at any staffed National Rail ticket office. You can book your discounted train tickets online or in person, but you must be able to present your Railcard to inspectors during your journey for your ticket to be valid. 16-17 Saver: £35 for one year 16-25 Railcard: £35 for one year, £80 for three years 26-30 Railcard: £35 for one year Disabled Persons Railcard: £20 for one year, £54 for three years Family & Friends Railcard: £35 for one year, £80 for three years Network Railcard: £35 for one year Senior Railcard: £35 for one year, £80 for three years Two Together Railcard: £35 for one year Veterans Railcard: £35 for one year, £80 for three years Book in advance Train companies sell around a million advance tickets every week, according to National Rail. Tickets are usually released 12 weeks in advance, although this can vary, the rail industry body says, adding that the "earlier you book, the better the chance you have of getting the best price". Advance tickets are still available until the day of travel on many routes - sometimes up to 10 minutes before departure. While advance fares are single tickets valid only on the date and train shown on the ticket, they can be combined with other tickets to create an entire journey. Changes can be made before departure, but may be subject to a £10 admin fee and other terms and conditions. Buy a season ticket If you make the same journey more than once a week, it might be worth investing in a season ticket rather than buying tickets daily. An annual season ticket offers a full year's worth of travel for the price of 10 months and 12 days, Network Rail says. Part-time commuters may also want to consider Flexi season tickets, which give passengers day return travel for eight days within a 28-day period. Passengers don't need to choose their travel days in advance, providing plenty of flexibility for hybrid workers who only occasionally come into the office. Depending on your circumstances, you might save more money with either a weekly, monthly or annual season ticket. You can use National Rail's season ticket calculator here to see which ticket is right for you. Travel in a group If you're a small group travelling together, you can also use GroupSave on a variety of Off-Peak tickets across the rail network. GroupSave tickets save up to 1/3 on rail fares for adults travelling in a group of three to nine people. They can be bought for single or return journeys at off-peak or super-off peak times. Make sure you stick with the whole group you booked for to ensure your tickets remain valid during your journey. Travel during quieter times Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for travelling at less busy times during weekdays, and all day on weekends, National Rail says. You may have to travel at specified times, or on specified days or routes. On longer distance journeys, if you travel in a peak period one way but want to return when it is less busy, consider booking a combination of advance, off-peak and anytime fares to get the best deal. Rover and Ranger tickets Most train companies offer a selection of Rover tickets and Ranger tickets, which offer unlimited travel within a specified area and time period. Ranger tickets are valid for one day only, while Rover tickets are valid for longer (although still within a limited time period). For example, you could buy a Rover ticket that allows travel within a specific geographical area for three consecutive days, or within a 15-day period. These tickets may also include local bus travel, and there are often other offers and discounts available, including 50% off for children aged five to 15, 50% off for people with a 16-17 Saver Railcard and 1/3 off fares with other Railcards. How are train fares decided? About 45% of fares on Britain's railways are regulated by the Westminster, Scottish and Welsh governments, while the rest are set by train operators themselves. Regulated fares include season tickets on most commuter journeys, some off-peak return tickets on long-distance routes, and flexible tickets for travel around major cities. The Department for Transport (DfT) said there will be an update on changes to regulated fares later this year. Operators set rises in unregulated fares, although these are likely to be very close to regulated ticket increases because their decisions are heavily influenced by governments. A DfT spokesperson said: "The Transport Secretary has made clear her number one priority is getting the railways back to a place where people can rely on them. "The government is putting passengers at the heart of its plans for public ownership and Great British Railways, delivering the services they deserve and driving growth. "No decisions have been made on next year's rail fares but our aim is that prices balance affordability for both passengers and taxpayers."

Two Inter Milan Players To Be Suspended For Serie A Opening Day Clash Vs Torino
Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Pio Esposito will both be suspended for Inter Milan's Serie A opener against Torino. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan are now just a week away from the start of their Serie A season. The Nerazzurri host Torino on August 25th in their first match of the campaign. Inter will be starting life under new coach Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi on the bench during the summer. The Romanian has been in charge of matches at the Club World Cup. However, the match against Torino will be his first Serie A match in charge of Inter. Calhanoglu & Pio Esposito Suspended For Inter Vs Torino Clash MONZA, ITALY – AUGUST 12: Pio Esposito of FC Internazionale looks on during the Pre-season Friendly match between AC Monza and FC Internazionale at U-Power Stadium on August 12, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) There will be a couple players who Chivu is unable to call upon for next Monday's match, however. Firstly, midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu will be unavailable. This due to an accumulation of yellow cards, having received a booking against Como in the last match of last season. Furthermore, Calhanoglu will not be the only Inter player serving a suspension for the match against Torino. Striker Francesco Pio Esposito picked up a yellow card in the second leg of Spezia's Serie B promotion playoff final against Cremonese. This was Pio Esposito's last booking for a suspension. Therefore, the 20-year-old will miss Inter's opener against Torino.
