INEOS signing will soon "become the best in the world" at Man Utd

Reading too much into one albeit statement performance would be folly, although there were telling signs in Manchester United’s richly deserved 2-1 win away at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

In many ways, that victory marked a tale of the new signings, with there having been deeply different fortunes on either side.

In the case of Liverpool, Alexander Isak’s wait for a first Premier League goal for his new side continued, while fellow marquee arrival Florian Wirtz wasn’t even in the starting lineup.

At full-back, Miloz Kerkez was given a torrid time by the dynamic duo of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, with stand-in stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili also unable to prevent the visitors’ opener.

That might be a cynical view, although it’s difficult to ignore the contrast to Ruben Amorim’s new men, with Mbeumo opening the scoring inside 63 seconds, while Matheus Cunha also led the line impressively alongside him.

Although £74 striker Benjamin Sesko was a late arrival into the fray from the bench, goalkeeper Senne Lammens put in another assured performance, with the early signs suggesting that INEOS have finally worked their magic in the market.

Ranking every INEOS signing at Manchester United

There already looks to be a stark difference in quality between those acquired this summer and those brought in during the first window under the new regime a year ago, with the summer of 2024 having been particularly mixed on reflection.

While Matthijs de Ligt is an early contender for Player of the Season this time around – with Leny Yoro also likely to be a mainstay for the long-term at Old Trafford – both Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte have slipped into the periphery under Amorim.

With just seven goals in 53 games for the club to date, Zirkzee – who has made just three league appearances in 2025/26 – looks destined to depart in 2026, while Ugarte’s diminishing status was evident in his role as an unused substitute in the Europa League final.

Rounding off that summer spree was £13m man, Noussair Mazraoui, a deal that still represents an undoubted bargain, even if the Moroccan international has been hampered by injury this season.

Heading into January then, the £1m dished out for Arsenal’s Ayden Heaven still appears another piece of astute business, even if the 19-year-old hasn’t featured since Grimsby, although the jury is out on the £30m signing of Patrick Dorgu, with the left-footer even ousted by Diogo Dalot on the left flank in recent outings.

Having looked abroad last summer, before turning to youth in the winter, the approach was far more sensible this time around, snapping up two Premier League-proven figures in Cunha and Mbeumo, after the pair netted 35 top-flight goals between them last term.

Sesko, at 22, is an expensive gamble, although with two goals in two games ahead of the Anfield trip, the early signs are promising, while, as for Lammens, he could quietly prove to be the pick of the bunch.

Man Utd could soon have "one of the best in the world"

Not every player has to arrive and explode instantly, with it perhaps more important not to make a bad first impression, than necessarily making a wholly positive, standout one.

Indeed, Lammens’ predecessor, Andre Onana, never truly recovered from his shaky showings from the off, having memorably been lobbed against Lens in pre-season in July 2023, left tangled in his own net on what was the Cameroonian’s first Old Trafford outing.

The ex-Inter man then escaped punishment for a last-gasp foul against Wolverhampton Wanderers on his competitive debut, while his third league appearance witnessed that comical dive to try and keep out Taiwo Awoniyi’s early strike. The list goes on…

To make matters worse, his deputy – Altay Bayindir – has fared little better over the last two years or so, producing a desperately tame punch to tee up Riccardo Calafiori’s decisive goal on the opening weekend this season.

The nervousness of both men was no good to those ahead of them, or those watching on from the stands, with both players and supporters alike having readily welcomed the quiet calm that Lammens has brought to the table so far.

A clean sheet on debut against Sunderland saw the young Belgian only forced into making three saves, although they were all decisive, having been met with audible cheers when plucking the ball out of the sky late in the first half.

There is a willingness for the 23-year-old to succeed, after such turmoil in United’s goalkeeping department in recent years, with Lammens’ outing again another reason for positivity.

Smart enough not to attempt to play out from the back needlessly – with 45 of his 46 passes having gone long – the ex-Royal Antwerp man did what was needed when called upon too, keeping out Isak’s strike from the angle in the first-half.

Having also narrowed the angle for Mo Salah’s wayward, near-post attempt – while plucking another ball from the air at one stage – United’s number 31 did everything that was asked of him.

There were no theatrics, no unnecessary Cruyff turns or errant passes. The new man – as a goalkeeper largely should do – almost went unnoticed for his all-round display.

It is of course far too soon to be popping any corks in celebration at such a signing, but for a fee of just £18m, the INEOS hierarchy might yet have pulled off another transfer bargain.

As journalist Steven Railston has relayed, one of Lammens’ former coaches, Hayk Milkon, believes that he can “become the best in the world” in his position, having already received the approval of his legendary compatriot, Thibaut Courtois.

Having been forced to witness the hapless chaos of Onana, Bayindir and even late-stage David De Gea in recent years, United could well do with a calming presence in the sticks again.

Hopefully, Lammens can be just that in the years to come.

Buttler, Anderson deliver Roses glory for Lancashire

Former England team-mates produce vital roles with bat and ball to seal 21-run victory

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay17-Jul-2025

James Anderson claimed another three-wicket haul for Lancashire•Getty Images

Lancashire 174 (Buttler 77, Jennings 42) beat Yorkshire (Shafique 54, Anderson 3-25) by 21 runs Jos Buttler posted a superb season’s best 77 off 46 balls and became only the second Englishman to reach 13,000 career T20 runs as Lancashire Lightning beat Yorkshire in a pulsating Roses match at Headingley and qualified for the Vitality Blast quarter-finals.With Nottinghamshire losing at Worcestershire, Lancashire would have advanced whatever this result. But ending a run of three Roses defeats, including one last week, means they secured a top-two finish in the North Group for a home tie in September’s last eight.Buttler’s dynamism from No.3, including eight fours and three sixes, was the centrepiece of 174 all out, which saw the wickets shared around a Yorkshire attack on a competitive surface.Sir James Anderson, fresh from his Hundred wildcard selection, and Australian off-spinner Chris Green shone with three for 25 and three for 27 as Yorkshire were bowled out for 153, including Pakistani Abdullah Shafique’s 54 off 34.Leaders Lancashire won for the ninth time in 13 games – this by 21 runs – and already out Yorkshire lost their ninth game in 13.Phil Salt drove this topsy-turvy contest’s first two balls from Matt Milnes for four, but Dan Moriarty’s left-arm spin had Keaton Jennings caught at mid-wicket to keep the visitors in check at 23 for one after three overs.Salt started and ended the powerplay positively, slog-sweeping Moriarty for six as 15 came from the sixth over, which ended with 58 on the board.But Lancashire stumbled as Jafer Chohan’s leg-spin had Salt caught at deep square-leg slog-sweeping for 42 with his first ball and bowled Ashton Turner two balls later – 65 for three in the eighth.Buttler launched sixes in successive overs against spin over long-on. The first, against Dom Bess, took him beyond the 13,000 mark.Alex Hales is the only other English batter to achieve the same feat, and they are amongst only seven batters worldwide to do so.Buttler reached his third fifty in six Blast innings this season, this one off 26 balls. By that time, Lancashire were 121 for four after 13 overs having lost Luke Wells to Jordan Thompson’s seam.Despite Buttler’s presence, Yorkshire took regular wickets to stymie progression.Milnes struck twice and Will Sutherland once late on as the Red Rose fell short of the 200 or more total which has been king at Headingley this season.There were two run outs, including Buttler, amongst three wickets to fall in Thompson’s last over.Wickets continued fall, though.Luke Wood bowled Jonny Bairstow for five eight balls into Yorkshire’s reply before Anderson had Will Luxton caught at deep midwicket – 24 for two in the third over.Lancashire’s quarter-final qualification was confirmed soon after, with Nottinghamshire’s defeat.Anderson removed Dawid Malan caught at mid-on before Green’s bowled a reverse-sweeping James Wharton to tip the balance at 66 for four in the eighth over.But, as wickets fell – Bess was caught behind off Wood soon after, Shafique was strong down the ground.Shafique and Australian Sutherland put Yorkshire in a strong position at 132 for five in the 15th, needing 43 more.However, Shafique pulled Anderson to deep square-leg and Thompson was caught and bowled off Green, turning the tide again at 137 for seven in the 16th.Excellent Green trapped Milnes lbw and Tom Aspinwall removed Sutherland for 28 with successive balls at the end of the 18th over and the start of the 19th – 151 for nine.Defending 22 off the last over, Blatherwick then had Chohan caught with the first ball.

Markram blazes SA trail to 1-0 after Maharaj, Mulder trip up England

Home side bowled out in 24.3 overs, then blitzed in chase that only last 20.5

Aiden Markram blazes a drive over the covers in his flying start•Getty Images

South Africa 137 for 3 (Markram 86) beat England 131 (Smith 54, Maharaj 4-22, Mulder 3-33) by seven wicketsEngland’s batters lasted more than 100 balls, but not much more. They were dismissed in 147 balls for their fourth-lowest total against South Africa in a display of batting that could best be described as fatigued, perhaps from a month of playing in the Hundred.By the time South Africa’s batters had faced 100 balls, the job was as good as done. Aiden Markram scored the fastest fifty by a South African opener, off 23 balls, and dominated an opening stand of 121 with Ryan Rickelton to take South Africa home and open the series with an emphatic win. They batted for 125 balls.The whole match lasted just 272 balls, perhaps as a nod to the difference in preparation for these two sides for this series to where there are on the road to 2027. While South Africa played a series Australia, England only had an optional training session as they rolled in straight from the Hundred. That may also mean England are just beginning their planning for the next World Cup, while South Africa see themselves as on the path as they seek to adopt a more fearless style of play. England often use that kind of language but their loose drives and soft chips were more reckless than brave against a well-drilled South African attack.Keshav Maharaj, recently elevated to No. 1 on the ICC’s ODI bowling rankings, was the most successful bowler and picked up the third four-for of his career. Wiaan Mulder scooped 3 for 33 to mark only the second time he has taken three wickets in an ODI. South Africa also took all their catching chances, seven in total, after a ragged showing in Australia, and made good on Temba Bavuma’s decision to bowl first.England started off in signature style as Jamie Smith closed out the first over with back-to-back drives off full Nandre Burger deliveries and Ben Duckett pushed one past Lungi Ngidi that went for four. But Burger also found swing and in his second over, Duckett was tempted to play at a good-length ball without moving his feet and nicked off to continue a tough run. Duckett only had one score over 20 in eight innings in the Hundred but concerns about his form seemed immaterial when Joe Root drove Burger for four with a high elbow off the second ball he faced and held the pose for good measure.Runs kept coming in boundaries as Root took two off Ngidi and Smith took advantage of width from Burger. However, Bavuma stuck with his frontline seamers and it paid off. Root prodded at an Ngidi ball and edged behind, Ryan Rickelton diving to his right to hold the ball in his glove but it popped out as he hit the ground. He was able to get both gloves to the rebound and claimed the catch, which was confirmed on replay.Harry Brook responded by tonking Ngidi’s first ball for four and Smith just kept swinging. Corbin Bosch was brought on in the ninth over but was guided past third and then through midwicket as Smith entered the 30s. England finished the Powerplay on 57 for 2, with 44 of those runs in boundaries.The Smith-Brook partnership grew to 38 and the pair were on top of South Africa’s seamers when a moment of misjudgement separated them. Brook hit Mulder into the covers and called for two but the second run wasn’t on, Tristan Stubbs swooped in and threw to Rickelton, who broke the stumps and England were 82 for 3. Still, with Smith batting well, they would not have had many concerns. Smith brought up his second ODI fifty, and second successive one, when he sent Maharaj through the covers for four off the 46th ball he faced.At the end of that over, Jos Buttler hit the ball to the boundary, where Tony de Zorzi dived to stop four and hurt his hamstring in the process. He left the field for treatment, did not field again and was not required to bat.An incident like that could easily have shifted momentum England’s way but the opposite happened. In the next over, Smith flicked Mulder to fine leg, Bosch made good ground to his left and took an excellent one-handed catch and the collapse had begun. England lost seven wickets for 29 runs in 43 balls and almost all of them were avoidable.Jacob Bethell was lured into a drive by a floated up Maharaj delivery, got a thin edge and the ball was parried off Rickelton’s gloves to Markram at slip. He took the catch while almost blindsided by his own keeper. Will Jacks popped a simple return chance back to Maharaj; Buttler was leaden-footed when he drove and inside-edged Mulder to Rickelton and Jofra Archer nicked the next ball low to first slip, where Markram picked up another. Mulder was on a hat-trick but Maharaj cleaned up. He had Adil Rashid trapped in front of leg stump and removed debutant Sonny Baker’s middle stump to dismiss England inside 25 overs.Baker would be the first to attempt to defend their score. Given the opening over on debut, his second ball slid down leg and Markram helped it on its way for four. Baker then overcompensated and offered width as Markram cashed in on the off side. The first over went for 14 runs.Rickelton, who has struggled for rhythm from the Australia tour, could not find any early on in England either. He could not get Archer’s first four balls away and then edged the fifth one in the direction of first slip. Root claimed the catch as he seemed to think he got his fingers under the ball and while some replays agreed, others seemed to show the ball bouncing just in front. Rickelton was given not out. Archer finished the over by hitting him on the pads but England didn’t review. If they had, Hawk-Eye showed the ball would have been hitting leg stump and Rickelton would have been out for a duck.Instead, he watched as Markram continued to show Baker no mercy and took 20 off his second over, including two sixes. Rickelton’s opportunity finally came against Baker in his third over and he just about found his touch. He drove Baker for four, edged him short of slip and then flicked off the pads. Despite his first three overs costing 44 runs, Baker got a fourth over and still could not get it right. He overpitched, Markram drove for four, then down the ground and then over the covers to bring up his half-century off 23 balls, with 44 runs scored in boundaries.Baker’s four overs cost 56 runs and he was taken out of the attack before bring brought back in the 12th over and delivering a boundary-free six balls. His relief was short-lived. Baker’s next two overs cost 18 runs and his final analysis of 7-0-76-0 was the most expensive by an England player on debut.Markram had three figures in his sights but with 11 runs left to win was strongly caught by Smith at cover, who intercepted a ball that was destined for the boundary. Bavuma tried to finish it quickly but was caught at mid-off and Tristan Stubbs’ nightmare run continued as he was bowled for a duck to leave Rashid on a hat-trick. Across all formats, Stubbs has only scored one half-century in 35 innings this year. Dewald Brevis finished it off with a six as England lost for the third successive time to South Africa.

Ex-Botafogo e Internacional, Alemão lamenta ano sem títulos para os clubes

MatériaMais Notícias

Atualmente no ABC, Alemão lamentou uma temporada sem títulos para Botafogo e Internacional, clubes por onde passou e guarda carinho. O atleta citou fatores distintos para explicar o que faltou para ambas as equipes no Brasileirão e Libertadores, respectivamente.

– Para o Botafogo faltou experiência, mental forte, pois nada apagará a bela campanha, mas a frustração de não levar o título depois que veio a má fase na reta final. Se o mental tivesse um pouco melhor, talvez poderia assim sair campeão. Para o Internacional foi um detalhe, caiu para uma grande equipe, desconcentrou uns minutos e foi penalizado por isso, uma pena é um detalhe – comentou.

Alemão também revelou que conhece jogadores de ambos elencos, mas que optou em não chamar ninguém com receio de atrapalhar. Aproveitando o assunto sobre Bota e Inter, o lateral relembrou com carinho de suas passagens e falou momentos marcantes em cada um dos clubes.

– Conheço alguns jogadores de ambas as equipes, mas não abri diálogo com nenhum, pois nesses momentos o atleta precisa tá focado 100% e preferi não incomodá-los. Sobre jogar nesses dois clubes, foi meu sonho realizado. No Botafogo, ajudei a levar a equipe a Libertadores, e no Internacional peguei a missão de colocá-lo na elite do futebol brasileiro novamente. O mais marcante por essa camisa, foi atravessar o Gigante da Beira Rio de joelhos em minha volta de uma lesão grave – concluiu.

Aos 33 anos, Alemão está no ABC, onde tem contrato até abril de 2024. No entanto, o jogador não conseguiu fazer com que sua equipe escapasse do rebaixamento para a Série C.

Ideal Bellamy alternative: Celtic racing to hire "dream" 4-2-3-1 manager

Celtic have two weeks during the last international break of the calendar year to finally find a long-term successor to former head coach Brendan Rodgers.

The Northern Irish manager tendered his resignation after the 3-1 defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership last month, ending his second spell in the dugout at Parkhead.

Rodgers, as shown in the graphic above, enjoyed a largely successful second stint with the Hoops, as he won the Premiership title in both of his full seasons in charge.

Experienced manager Martin O’Neill was brought in to take charge of the Scottish giants for an interim period, having been out of club management since the 2018/19 campaign.

Now, the Hoops need to finalise their search for their long-term successor to Rodgers to lead the team after the international break and, hopefully, into future seasons.

One of the managers who has been linked with a potential move to Parkhead is Wales national team head coach Craig Bellamy, who had a stint as a player in Glasgow.

What Craig Bellamy has said about a move to Celtic

It was reported at the end of last month that the Scottish giants were planning to make contact with the former Manchester City and Liverpool forward about the possibility of taking the job.

Unfortunately, for Celtic, though, Bellamy all-but-quashed speculation over his future by reaffirming his commitment to Wales, ahead of the World Cup next summer.

When asked about a move to Parkhead recently, the Welsh boss said: “I can understand the links. I played there. But to me, I love what I’m doing at the present time. I’m completely focused on what’s set to come. That’s all I’m focused on. It’s cliched but I couldn’t want anything else. It isn’t on my radar and it won’t be on my radar.”

Those comments suggest that Celtic will not be able to persuade him to ditch his country to be Rodgers’ replacement, which is understandable given that he has the chance to lead his country out at the World Cup in America next summer.

That is a possible blow for the Scottish giants because Bellamy could have been an intriguing appointment for the club, as he has done some brilliant work since taking over from Rob Page for Wales.

That mentality and way of coaching his team, the former Celtic forward has improved his country’s national team in his time in charge. They are scoring more goals and winning more points than they were before.

Whilst Bellamy may not be available for the Hoops in the international break, the club are reportedly keen on a manager who would be a dream alternative.

Celtic battling English side to land 4-2-3-1 manager

According to journalist Alan Nixon, via his Patreon, Celtic are one of the teams battling it out to land Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy in the coming days or weeks.

The reporter claims that the Hoops have placed the former Manchester City U21 tactician on their shortlist of candidates, as they look to find their replacement for Rodgers.

Manager Focus

Who are the greatest coaches in the land? Football FanCast’s Manager Focus series aims to reveal all.

Nixon adds that English Championship side Middlesbrough are also eyeing a possible move for the Irish tactician, who typically deploys a 4-2-3-1 formation, as they are in the process of losing Rob Edwards to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The journalist reveals that Celtic use their connections with the City Football Group to do background on possible manager targets, and Barry-Murphy worked with Manchester City’s U21s for several seasons, which may be why they are keen on a move for him.

Whilst it remains to be seen whether or not the Hoops will make contact with Cardiff to discuss a deal for the 47-year-old coach, the League One boss could be a brilliant alternative to Craig Bellamy.

Why Barry-Murphy would be a dream alternative to Bellamy for Celtic

The Cardiff manager would be the dream alternative to the Wales national team manager because he has a similar style of play and way of working, with his 4-2-3-1 formation that sees his team play out from the back and take risks.

In fact, as you can hear in the clip above, Bellamy sees a lot of similarities between the way he wants Wales to play and the way that Barry-Murphy has Cardiff playing in League One, which he believes benefits him with the national side.

The Wales boss says that it is a “dream” for him that the Irishman plays a similar style, which is exactly why he would be a “dream” alternative to Bellamy for the Hoops this month.

On top of being similar to Bellamy in style, Barry-Murphy has done an impressive job at Cardiff. The Bluebirds were relegated from the Championship last season, finishing bottom, and he had to come in and turn the club around.

They are currently fourth in League One after 14 matches. Meanwhile, the two teams that came down from the Championship alongside them are below Cardiff in the table, with Luton in ninth and Plymouth in 24th.

As you can see in the table above, Barry-Murphy also has experience managing a side to win matches consistently, as he won two Premier League 2 titles in charge of Manchester City’s U21s.

Whilst that was at U21 level, it does show that he is used to playing a style that leads to consistent wins, which has carried over to his time in charge of Cardiff so far, as they sit in the play-off places in League One.

Therefore, Barry-Murphy would be an intriguing appointment for Celtic as a dream alternative to Bellamy if they decide to press ahead with a move for his services.

Man City leading race for Rodrygo with Real Madrid future now in major doubt

Manchester City are now leading the race to sign Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, amid a major new update on the forward’s future at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Man City’s interest in upgrading their forward line comes amid an overreliance on Erling Haaland, with the Norwegian striker their only player to have scored more than one Premier League goal so far this season.

The 25-year-old has been in incredible form, having already scored 14 league goals, but the lack of contributions from elsewhere raises concern about how Pep Guardiola’s side will be able to cope if their talisman suffers an injury.

Jeremy Doku put in a top performance against Liverpool, scoring the third in the 3-0 rout, while Phil Foden is showing signs he may be rediscovering his best form, having amassed seven goal contributions in 14 matches in all competitions.

However, in order to strengthen his side’s Premier League title push, Guardiola remains keen on adding another forward to his ranks, and there has been a positive development in the pursuit of a Real Madrid star.

Man City now leading race for Rodrygo

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Man City are now frontrunners in the race for Rodrygo’s signature, with it emerging the Brazilian’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu is now in major doubt, and he is on the brink of leaving in the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been unable to force his way into Xabi Alonso’s plans, given that Madrid have a breadth of top-quality options in attacking areas, and a winter move could now be on the cards.

Guardiola views the former Santos man as ideal, given his versatility, and City are ready to trigger a deal, which could amount to €60m – €80m (£53m – £70m).

Hailed as “world-class” by legendary midfielder Luka Modric, the 35-time Brazil international has been a reliable source of goals and assists right across his career, impressing at Santos from a very young age before going on to play a major role in Real Madrid’s success.

Although the Osasco-born forward has predominantly featured as a winger throughout his career to date, scout Ben Mattinson has suggested he could be better-suited to playing in a central role, given his dribbling and shooting ability.

As such, should Haaland pick up an injury, Rodrygo could be a solid replacement, while the Real Madrid man’s experience playing out wide means he should also be able to challenge the likes of Doku and Rayan Cherki for a starting spot.

Luis Reece’s five-wicket haul completed a crushing win for Derbyshire•Getty Images

Derbyshire 698 for 6 dec (Reece 211, Madsen 198, Andersson 85, Donald 55, Dal 52*) beat Kent 271 (Ekansh 71, Dawkins 61, Morley 5-99) and 198 (Compton 65, Evison 53, Reece 5-63) by an innings and 229 runsDerbyshire routed Kent by an innings and 229 runs in their final Rothesay County Championship match of the season at Canterbury.Luis Reece, who scored 211 in Derbyshire’s only innings, took 5 for 63, while Ben Aitchison and Zak Chappell both took two wickets apiece as the visitors sealed third place in Division Two. Ben Compton was Kent’s top scorer with 65 but the home side already knew they would finish bottom, regardless of the outcome.Kent began day four on 135 for 5 in their second innings, 291 behind, and their tissue-paper thin hopes of avoiding defeat faded when they lost Harry Finch in the fourth over of the morning, lbw to Aitchison for 14.Aitchison, whose sister Holly is in the England squad for today’s Rugby World Cup final with Canada, then got the key wicket of Compton, again lbw and although Corey Flintoff hung around for 35 balls, he eventually pulled Chappell straight to Aneurin Donald at square leg and was caught for 11.Grant Stewart gave a sparse crowd some entertainment, hooking Chappell for six, but the bowler than had Matt Parkinson caught by Donald at short leg for a six-ball duck.The visitors concluded a win that had looked inevitable for the best part of three days when Michael Cohen flashed at Reece and was caught by a diving Brooke Guest, also without scoring. The wicket meant Reece became only the 51st person worldwide to score a double-century and take five wickets in a first-class match.
