Man United wants striker Mbeumo as Amorim looks to add to Cunha transfer
Associated Press MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United has made a move for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke on the condition of confidentiality because United has not publicly declared its interest. The 20-time English league champion is planning to overhaul a team that has just come off its worst season in the Premier League era and missed out on qualification for any European competition. United coach Ruben Amorim has identified his forward line as an area in need of major improvement. A deal has already been agreed for Brazil forward Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo would add further strength to an attack that had the fifth worst scoring record in the Premier League. English media said a bid of 55 million pounds ($74.8 million) was made for Mbeumo. The 25-year-old Cameroon international had 20 goals last season. By comparison, United strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee scored just 18 between them in all competitions. Amorim is trying to turn United's fortunes around after 12 years without winning the league. He has made a fast start to his rebuilding plans, with a deal for Cunha and a move for Mbeumo within weeks of the season ending. He has previously described his team as perhaps the worst in United's history and last month he apologized to fans for a 'disastrous' season. United ended the campaign in 15th — its lowest finish in the modern era and just three places above the relegation zone. United also set unwanted club records for the most losses in a Premier League season and the lowest points total. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:

FIFA Club World Cup kicks off 400 hours of soccer on Spanish language TV this summer
FIFA Club World Cup kicks off 400 hours of soccer on Spanish language TV this summer Show Caption Hide Caption FIFA Club World Cup will set stage for big things in United States The FIFA Club World Cup is set to take the global stage and two legendary managers explain how it will have an impact on fans and the 2026 World Cup. Sports Seriously The FIFA Club World Cup will kick off nearly 400 hours of soccer programming from Spanish language broadcaster TelelvisaUnivision this summer. The network is calling it "verano futbolero' – summer of football – and will air four major international tournaments on TV and live stream. Univision will produce and package all 63 Club World Cup matches available to live stream for free in English on DAZN, TelevisaUnivision president of global sports Olek Loewenstein told USA TODAY Sports. Univision, UniMás and TUDN will also broadcast 18 Club World Cup matches in Spanish, including the June 14 opener featuring Lionel Messi and the July 13 final. TNT will broadcast matches on TV in English. The Concacaf Gold Cup held June 15-July 7 will be available on Univision, UniMás, TUDN and ViX. The entire UEFA Women's Euro (July 2-27) and CONMEBOL Women's Copa America (July 12-August 2) will be available to stream on ViX with select games broadcasting on TUDN. The company will also broadcast this summer's Leagues Cup tournament, which pits clubs from Major League Soccer and LIGA MX in Mexico against each other from July 30-August 31. "When it comes to just pure hours of soccer programming this summer, we really are kind of at the forefront of making sure that the game – the beautiful game – is being consumed here in the United States,' Loewenstein said. The Club World Cup features 32 of the best soccer teams in the world, vying for their share of a $1 billion prize pool later this month. The reigning Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain and runner-up Inter Milan are in the field. Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid from Spain; Manchester City and Chelsea from England; Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund from Germany; Juventus from Italy; and other standout clubs from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico are in the mix. Along with Inter Miami, the Seattle Sounders and LAFC will represent Major League Soccer in the tournament. "Club World Cup is the first time the tournament this size happens. I'm excited to see how the U.S. receives the tournament. I think that's part of what I want to see,' Loewenstein said. 'But I'm also excited to see matchups that we always say we would want to see, and this is the first time you're actually going to get those, right? Everybody talks a big game on the league side of how big your team is and, 'If I played you in this game, I would be better.' And I think this is going to be a time where we're going to be able to see, comparatively, the power of the different big leagues in the world.' Messi and Inter Miami face Egyptian side Al Ahly at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium in the Club World Cup opener. The Club World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Club World Cup matches will also be played in Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington D.C. this summer.

'I don't want this ride to end' - play-off coaches on season finale
English rugby's leading coaches say they are determined to revel in the pressure of leading their sides into do-or-die Premiership semi-finals this weekend. "If you can't love this, then get another job," says Bath's Johann van Graan, as the league's runaway leaders prepare to host local rivals Bristol on Friday night. Advertisement "If you're not enjoying it, what's the point?" adds Leicester boss Michael Cheika. "When the heat is on, that's the time to go: 'how good?' You would rather be here than not, s o just get after it." 'Attack the game - like PSG' After 18 rounds of the regular campaign, two sides will emerge from this weekend to reach the final on 14 June at a sold-out Allianz Stadium in Twickenham, with Leicester hosting Sale the day after Friday's west country derby. In a special Rugby Union Weekly podcast, we were joined exclusively by all four of the men plotting to lead their team to Premiership glory, just days before the biggest game of their season. Advertisement "Semi-final is not enough," says Sale's Alex Sanderson, who has guided the club to three successive semi-finals without landing the big prize. "That's no disrespect to Leicester - I respect a lot of what Michael is doing - and our game model is pretty similar. "But there are only so many times you can knock on the door, and at some point you have to try and kick it off its hinges. The team, the group - we just want more. "Sometimes because of the length of the season, you may be looking forward to having a couple of weeks on a beach. This isn't one of those times. I don't want this ride to stop." Advertisement Pat Lam of Bristol adds: "I use that word 'privilege'. I've got five children. The oldest is 32, the youngest is 18. That's the playing group that I've got. "I get a real buzz seeing the experiences and what they are going through. It takes so much and you have to go out and earn it. "When you look at the Champions League final, PSG winning 5-0, that is a team that decided to go out and enjoy themselves. "Every time I have these moments I feel just privileged to be here and feel lucky to be doing what we do." Van Graan added: "This game is not about fear. This game is about attacking it - and may the best team win. Advertisement "What would the world be without sport? I'm privileged to be part of it and part of a team that wants to achieve. "And if we want to get to the next stage, we've got to get past a very good team on Friday night." 'Premiership can be like NRL' In his first and only season in the league, Cheika says he has "enjoyed the ride" in the East Midlands and has been surprised by the diversity of playing styles across the Premiership, citing Bristol's free-wheeling approach. He also believes the league has the potential to rival Australia's National Rugby League (NRL) and become one of the world's leading sporting products, with plans afoot to bring in a franchise model in a bid to take Premiership rugby to the next level. Advertisement "I think it should be like the NRL, when you think about the population. The game deserves a bigger economy. It needs the league to get it bigger, more money in there so there can be more impact," Cheika said. "There's a really good thing going on here that we can build on, but it needs a central economy to create that energy, so teams don't go to the wall and they're able to benefit from a strong central economy with more sponsors, more people, more merchandising, a bigger TV deal, all that type of stuff that runs off the back of it. "As an outsider there is definitely the potential for the game to be much bigger on a national scale." But with the game's status quo under threat from a breakaway league, Van Graan has highlighted how the sport's foundations are built on tradition, and believes the league is in a strong place after a challenging few years. Advertisement "That experience in Cardiff a few weeks ago, when Bath played Bristol, was amazing. It felt like a Test match," he said. "There are so many good things about the Premiership. My Dad went to the 1991 World Cup and he brought me back some grass in a little bottle, which I still have. Twickenham was always the place and I remember our game there against Quins three years ago, I thought: 'this is amazing'. "I can't control anything that happens about franchising, or rebel leagues, or the outside. All I can control is our team, and I'd like to think all 10 Premiership teams have done their bit to make this a spectacle in all of our different ways. "We are all different, but there is all respect for each other. I think the Premiership is in a good place." 'Coaches wearing a rugby shirt' The semi-finals will pit some of the world's greatest fly-halves against each other, with Scotland's Finn Russell facing the USA's AJ MacGinty on Friday night, before 99-cap Englishman George Ford and South Africa's double World Cup winner Handre Pollard do battle on Saturday. Advertisement "Every rugby player has talent, but you are looking for the ones who are special, that will just flick a switch," said Lam. Sanderson added: "I've worked with AJ, I've heard what Finn Russell is like and I've seen Handre work in South Africa camp. These guys are all but coaches, wearing a rugby shirt. "And at this time of the year, they take more and more ownership. Those are the great players. Fordy is one of them. He is going to be a great coach, but has years left on the field." Cheika agrees. "Ford should be on the Lions tour," he said. "That guy is high quality. He is a coach walking around in a playing jersey." Advertisement Meanwhile Van Graan says Russell is more professional than ever, despite more than a decade operating at the highest level. "I remember one of my first visits in the NFL in 2011, visiting the [San Francisco] 49ers and they had this banner on the inside the training ground which said: 'Either you get better or you get worse - you choose'," he said. "There is so much hype around Finn on the outside, but he hasn't missed a training session bar the five weeks last year when he was injured. Those are the things you are looking for in players. You want guys who want to drive the group. "We are very privileged to see these guys perform and coach with them and against them. Because ultimately why do you coach? You coach for the memories and to help guys achieve what they want to do." Advertisement
