Paris Saint-Germain beats the Seattle Sounders 2-0 to reach Club World Cup round of 16
Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain didn't allow a single shot on goal as the European powerhouse beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Monday and advanced to the Club World Cup round of 16. Paris Saint-Germain opened the scoring in the 35th minute when a shot from Vitinha that would've finished well wide of the net hit teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and deflected into it. The UEFA Champions League winners scored again in the 66th minute as the Sounders' transition defense broke down. Seattle failed to locate Achraf Hakimi, who was wide open by the back post. Bradley Barcola's pass found him with plenty of time to control and strike. Paris Saint-Germain won Group B on a goal-differential tie after Atlético Madrid defeated Botafogo 1-0. The 68,740-capacity Lumen Field was lively with 50,628 fans. Key moment Jordan Morris returned to the pitch for the Sounders for the first time since April to a massive home-crowd ovation. It was a meaningful moment for fans as Morris, who grew up in the area, played a key role in helping his longtime franchise qualify for the Club World Cup. Takeaways Paris will play the runner-up of Group A on Sunday in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Seattle has been eliminated from the cup. ___ AP soccer: recommended

Manchester United increase offer for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo to £60m
Manchester United have made an improved offer of £60m to Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo, with the west London club holding out for an overall deal of £65m. Brentford value the 25-year-old in the same bracket as Matheus Cunha, for whom United were willing to pay the player's £62.5m release clause from Wolves. As the Cameroonian is younger than the 26-year-old Brazilian they are holding out for a fee that, with add-ons, is worth more – around £65m. Advertisement Mbeumo can also expect to earn at least £150,000 a week, the same region of salary as Cunha. Last season Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League, while Cunha managed 15. Related: Marcus Rashford keen on linking up with Lamine Yamal at Barcelona Meanwhile, Chelsea are weighing up whether to revive their interest in the United winger Alejandro Garnacho and include Christopher Nkunku as part of a deal. The Chelsea head coach, Enzo Maresca, wants to sign a new wide player this summer. Garnacho was of interest to Chelsea in January and could become a target again if the west London club fail in their attempt to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. Bayern have entered the race to sign Gittens. Advertisement Garnacho and Nkunku are out of favour at their respective clubs. Nkunku has struggled with injuries since joining Chelsea two years ago and has not been a regular under Maresca. The versatile France forward is an option for United, although sources have cautioned that they have other targets in his position, including Mbeumo. While no formal contact with United has yet been made regarding making Nkunku, Chelsea are expected to do so. Last January the United head coach, Ruben Amorim, considered a move for the forward, although he was considered a stopgap option at that time. Nkunku was signed for £52m in summer 2023 but has managed only 43 appearances, scoring 14 times. The France international has played only six minutes at the Club World Cup – entering as a substitute in Chelsea's 2-0 opening group game win against Los Angeles FC. On Monday Maresca, insisted: 'Christo is with us. He is our player. He is doing very well in the last four or five days to be honest. So probably also we can think of giving him some chances.' While Nkunku is open to the transfer, Amorim's bid for a fresh centre-forward is proving a struggle. The Portuguese's No 1 target this summer, Liam Delap, chose to join Chelsea instead, while his hope of signing Sporting's Viktor Gyökeres has receded due to the Swede's preference for Arsenal.
