Man United stars jet off to the US - with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha on board but Bomb Squad left behind - for pre-season tour ahead of Ruben Amorim's first full season
Man United players were all smiles as they jetted off to the United States for the pre-season Summer Series tournament in the country. New signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha had spots on the plane and were snapped boarding alongside their team-mates, while the former sat next to international team-mate Andre Onana for take-off. Cunha, meanwhile, posed alongside Tom Heaton and Luke Shaw and he continues to settle in at his new side, having made his debut against Leeds in United's first pre-season game at the weekend. Cunha announced the birth of his baby daughter on social media on Monday night, sparking speculation that he might miss the start of United's three-game trip to America. But United have confirmed their 32-man travelling party and the 25-year-old Brazilian joined his team-mates on the team flight to O'Hare International Airport, landing in Chicago on Tuesday evening. There were notable absentees, however, with United's Bomb Squad left behind, as well as Harry Maguire. Maguire has stayed behind to attend to a personal matter although it's hoped that the England defender will be able to join up with the tour at some stage. He posted a message on social media on Tuesday saying: 'All is fine now. I will be travelling tomorrow to meet up with the squad, thanks for your concern.' Lisandro Martinez will travel but is unlikely to play as he continues his rehabilitation from a cruciate ligament injury. United's latest new signing, Mbeumo, was on the plane after completing his £71million move from Brentford just in time for the tour which sees United compete in the Premier League Summer Series against West Ham in New Jersey, Bournemouth in Chicago and Everton in Atlanta. As expected, Ruben Amorim's 'bomb squad' have been left behind to train at Carrington as Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia seek moves away from Old Trafford this summer. Marcus Rashford is already in Barcelona ahead of his unveiling on Wednesday. United's third signing of the summer, Paraguayan left back Diego Leon, has also been included on the tour along with some of United's other promising youngsters, Tyler Fredricson, Reece Munro, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone, Bendito Mantato, Chido Obi and Ethan Williams. Ruben Amorim and his players will be based in Chicago before facing West Ham in their opening game in New Jersey on Saturday. As expected the four remaining of the 'Bomb Squad', including Alejandro Garnacho (left) and Jadon Sancho (right) have been left behind at Carrington It's a vital summer for Amorim and his players, with the Portuguese not able to afford a season as poor as the last, which saw him take over from Erik ten Hag in the hotseat. United finished 15th in the Premier League, also missing out in the Europa League final and failing to qualify for Europe next season. They have four more pre-season games until they kick off their new campaign on August 17, facing the three sides in the Summer Series before taking on Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9.

Convicted paedophile on remand complains about delays
Defence solicitor Eoghan McKenna told Belfast Magistrates Court 'the American consulate have been on to us about his case' An American software developer turned pervert, currently on remand facing multiple breaches of his Sexual Offences Prevention Order, has complained to the American consulate about the lack of progress in his case, a court has heard. During a brief mention of the case against Matthew O'Hare, defence solicitor Eoghan McKenna told Belfast Magistrates Court 'the American consulate have been on to us about his case.' 'Mr O'Hare had made contact with them and had raised concerns about delay,' said the lawyer, adding that as the 63-year-old made admissions 'it should not be the most complicated case.' O'Hare, with an address at Glenwood Mews in Dunmurry, is in custody facing two sets of charges accusing the American of breaching his SOPO and the requirements of the Sex Offenders Register. In his Belfast case, O'Hare is alleged to have breached the SOPO and the requirements of the Sex Offenders Register, between May 9-15 this year, by failing to register his home address. In a separate Lisburn case, O'Hare is charged with two SOPO breaches and a further allegation that he breached the requirements of the police sex offenders register. The particulars of the SOPO breaches, allege that O'Hare had 'two apps on his phone' which he did not have permission for on 14 October last year and further that on 29 April this year, he had two mobile phones, again without permission of his Designated Risk Manager. The sex register offence alleges that on 7 December, O'Hare failed to make his annual notification of his name, address and DOB. The court has heard that O'Hare is a 'category one offender' with a SOPO in place until March 2027. The first alleged breach related to a home visit last October when O'Hare's Designated Risk Manager (DRM) attended his home and when he examined O'Hare's phone, the officer noted there were two social media apps which the defendant had not sought permission for. The officer also noted that part of the web history on multiple dates had also been deleted 'and that is a further breach.' Moving to events in December, DC Ross said routine system checks noted that O'Hare had not completed his annual re-notification, adding that to date 'that still has not been completed.' The alleged breach on 29 April related to another home visit when, after 'inviting' O'Hare to come in to be formally interviewed, the defendant produced two mobile phones for which 'he does not have approval for, and nor had he registered the devices.' 'On the 2nd May he attended Musgrave Street where he was arrested and when he was searched, two mobile phones were found,' DC Ross told the court. Having been freed on bail, the Belfast case relates to breaches on 9 May and in court on Friday, Mr McKenna confirmed that while the PPS have not yet received the full file, 'there were admissions made so it should not be the most complicated case…it's not one of the more sinister breaches.' Remanding O'Hare back into custody, District Judge George Conner adjourned the case to 25 July. Previous courts have heard how Oregon native O'Hare said in a newspaper interview in 2016 that he moved to Northern Ireland to 'escape intolerance in his homeland.' In 2019 however, he was arrested and charged with making and possessing indecent images of children, possessing an extreme pornographic image and contacting a child for the purpose of sexual gratification. At Craigavon Crown Court in 2021, he was handed a three-year probation order but that was revoked a few months later after the 62-year-old assaulted his probation officer. Having heard that O'Hare had been physically attacked and burnt out of his home in an arson attack, Judge Patrick Lynch KC said that 'seems in your mind to have translated into you being a victim rather than a perpetrator of criminal behaviour and your reaction to the people who tried to give assistance is totally reprehensible.' Imposing a one-year sentence at that stage, three months to be served in jail and the rest on licence, Judge Lynch said given he breached it in an 'egregious fashion,' he had no other option but to jail him.

US: Nasdaq ends at record as stocks shrug off latest Trump tariffs
[NEW YORK] The Nasdaq vaulted to a fresh record on Wednesday, shrugging off new tariff threats from President Donald Trump as Nvidia became the first company to touch US$4 trillion in market valuation. The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index ended at 20,611.34, up 0.9 per cent and about 10 points above the prior all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.5 per cent to 44,458.30, while the broad-based S&P 500 advanced 0.6 per cent to 6,263.26. The rally came as Trump unveiled a fresh set of letters to seven more countries in the US president's latest move to reapply pressure to trading partners. But investors appeared more stirred by Nvidia's latest surge, which optimism about further growth in artificial intelligence. The chip company finished up 1.8 per cent, topping US$4 trillion in market value early in the session before somewhat retreating.

Sign Up Sign Up Nvidia is a 'nice kind of signpost for momentum traders and investors,' said analyst Patrick O'Hare. 'And that just continues to fuel the AI momentum trade too.' Meanwhile, minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting showed divergent views on cutting interest rates this year, with continued uncertainty about the impact of tariffs on inflation. While policymakers expected Trump's tariffs to nudge prices upwards, the June meeting minutes said there remained 'considerable uncertainty' on the timing, size and duration of the effects. But O'Hare said investors continue to expect Fed interest rate cuts, in part because of the focus on a White House plan to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whom Trump has criticised. 'Every candidate floated right now seems to be in favor of cutting rates so the market likes the notion that there might be a more market friendly policy regime coming at the Fed,' O'Hare said. Among individual companies, Merck rose 2.9 per cent after announcing it reached a deal to acquire Verona Pharma, a biopharmaceutical company focused on respiratory diseases for about US$10 billion. Verona jumped 20.6 per cent. AFP
