"A good workout, a good performances along the way with young boys and with some of the experienced ones.

"It's great for the young boys to come in," he added.
"Obviously, Callum [Penman] and Evan [Mooney] came in last season. We've got Billy [Hutchison] and Thomas [Falconer] that came in and performed very, very well.
"Opportunities are there for the boys if they want to take them. Certainly, none of them have done themselves any harm."

Why RB Ray Davis just kicked an extra point for the Buffalo Bills in preseason game
Why RB Ray Davis just kicked an extra point for the Buffalo Bills in preseason game originally appeared on The Sporting News Ray Davis is a running back. For that matter, he's a super promising RB. He shone when given the opportunity as a Buffalo Bills rookie. But he has another skill, and it showed up Saturday. In the Bills' preseason opener, they got into the end zone on a Dawson Knox touchdown in the second quarter. And there was Davis, kicking a low line drive for the extra point. MORE: Shedeur Sanders shows his NFL Draft slide might've been a mistake Why is Ray Davis kicking for the Bills? Ray Davis is the Bills' emergency kicker. On the initial depth chart, he was listed as kicker No. 2 behind Tyler Bass. Bass is injured (pelvis) and didn't play in the preseason opener. The Bills signed Caden Davis to fill in as the kicker, but Buffalo doesn't gain a lot from letting Davis kick an extra point.

And while it was a little low, Davis made it. He once kicked a 57-yard field goal in high school, so those muscular legs have some strength in them. This might not be the last time Bills fans get to watch their young running back kick the ball between the uprights.

Report – Inter Milan, Man United & Chelsea Sound Out Move For PSG Star
Inter Milan, Man United, and Chelsea have all reportedly sounded out a move for Paris Saint-Germain keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. This according to ESPN, via FCInterNews. They report that all three clubs have been in contact with the 26-year-old's agent Enzo Raiola. Italian international goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of next June. However, contract extension talks between the 26-year-old and the reigning Champions League holders haven't taken off. The Corriere della Sera report that Donnarumma has rejected PSG's most recent offer for an extension. He is still holding out for a higher fee. Therefore, it is looking as though the Parisians face a choice: cash in on Donnarumma now, or lose him on a free transfer next summer. Furthermore, the fact that PSG are set to sign Lille keeper Lucas Chevallier is a clear sign that they are prepared for the loss of Donnarumma. Report – Inter, Man United & Chelsea Sounding Out Donnarumma Move FLORENCE, ITALY – OCTOBER 08: Gianluigi. Donnarumma of Italy looks on prior to th.e. Italy training session at Centro. Tecnico. Federale di Coverciano on October 08, 2024 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) Considering that PSG have signed Chevallier, their plan seems clear. The Parisians have little intention of having two keepers fight for the starting spot. They've tried that with Kevin Trapp and Alphonse Areola, with Areoal and Gianluigi Buffon, and with Keylor Navas and Donnarumma himself. Therefore, it seems very clear that PSG want to sell Donnarumma this summer. And according to ESPN, three clubs have taken an interest so far. The broadcaster report that all of Inter Milan, Manchester United, and Chelsea have contacted the Italian international's agent Enzo Raiola.

Amorim names four traits that make Sesko a dream fit for Man United
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has highlighted four qualities that make Benjamin Sesko the ideal striker for the club. United unveil Sesko After weeks of pursuing Sesko and fighting it out with Premier League rivals Newcastle for his signature, United finally reached an agreement with RB Leipzig for the player on Thursday. Sesko jetted to Manchester the same day to complete his medical and put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Red Devils. On Saturday morning, United released a statement confirming the Slovenian's arrival. He has joined United for an initial £66.4million plus an additional £7.3m in add-ons. Sesko was unveiled at Old Trafford just before the start of the pre-season meeting with Fiorentina. He was presented at the stadium alongside fellow new signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon. The 22-year-old's move to United marks the end of the club's chase for a striker. Amorim spoke to MUTV and expressed confidence that Sesko has what it takes to hit the ground running at United and become a success. In particular, Amorim named four attributes that make Sesko perfect for United. Amorim on Sesko Amorim said, 'He has the characteristics that we needed. Ben is a player with all the information that we have, that we need to stop the guy from working, not the opposite!' 'So that is also important. He's really young. He's good in the air, he's good at running the channels, good on the ball.' 'I think he has great potential. I think he can improve a lot and, for sure, he is going to feel at home in our club. He has the right character to be in this group, so I'm really happy to have him.' Amorim acknowledged that Sesko is joining a squad that is fully focused on playing well and producing results ahead of the upcoming season. 'That is important. He is going to notice, since the first day and first training, that he is in the right place.' 'He is going to a new building [at Carrington], that is also important. Things are getting better but, in the end, we need to win games.' Up next for United is Arsenal on Sunday, 17 August.
