minutes after the break. harry kane held off the challenge of philjones to head in a corner past david de gea. lucas moura added to united's woes — doubling their lead with this angled drive, before making it 3—0 in the final ten minutes of the game. it's the first time united have lost two of its first three league games since the 1992/93 season. mourinho making a point of applauding the fans at the end, some people questioning what that might mean, but he insisted he wasjust thanking those who stayed to support the team. it is difficult to win here against these type of teams, manchester united at old trafford. i was also happy with the performance, of course the first half they played better than us, they created more chances than us, but the second half i think we dominated, and the most important is to score goals. the

clea n important is to score goals. the clean sheet was good. yes, i am so proud, but it is only the beginning, only three games at the start of the season, only three games at the start of the season, we only three games at the start of the season, we need to keep going, being consistent, that is the most important thing. scottish premiership leaders hearts say their manager craig levein is ‘recovering well‘ having been taken to hospital this morning. levein was in the dugout for saturday's win over kilmarnock and although the club say, "no further comment will be made at this time", they did wish levein "a speedy recovery" in a statement. his assistant austin macphee will take over first—team duties until levein is back to full health. staying with hearts, and their 21—year—old defender john soutter has been called up to the scotland squad. they host belgium in a friendly at hampden park next friday before taking on albania in their opening match of the nations league on 10th september. now to andy murray's return to grand slam tennis, following his victory in the opening round of the us open. let's head straight to flushing meadows, where gigi salmon has been watching the action. gigi — murray survived a bit of a scare to

beat james duckworth — will he be happy with his performance? i think, holly, ithink, holly, he'll i think, holly, he'll be very happy. he came through against the australian in just over four hours, 6-3 australian in just over four hours, 6—3 in that first set, —— in the fourth set. we have to rememberfor andy murray who came into this tournament as the world 382 produced a rock lot of relief at the end of this one, he pulled out on the eve of wimbledon, a hip that wasn't ready for the best—of—5 set format. he didn't wanted to go to five sets today and he just managed to get the job done. first grand slam since the modern last year, his ranking will go modern last year, his ranking will 9° up modern last year, his ranking will go up to 302, the expectations are low for murray, it is about being back out and competing which is what he did, disappointment for kyle edmund. he felt that it was not what kyle edmund did, he was suffering

from cramp, he was given sought by the doctor at the end of the first set, but lorenzi was able to come through 6—1, a player who had not played on a hard court six of seven months. the fitness for kyle edmund is certainly a question and he is out of the us open. we're only a matter of hours into the us open and already a shock exit in the form of the world number one simona halep? yes, simona halep will make the headlines for the first player to play on the new louis armstrong stadium and also the first—ever woman is top seed to lose in the first round of the us open, and a set and a breakdown, halep took her frustration out on her racket. she was up against world number 44 kjaer be from estonia, who hits the really big tennis ball and halep had no a nswe i’s , big tennis ball and halep had no answers, saying she did not feel right, she was tired but it was a good tired. she had won 17 of her last 19 matches coming into this, she went on to say maybe ijust like

playing in new york, it is to not —— too noisy. heather watson also does not lie, she had lost seven straight first—run matches in the us open despite being a former us open junior champion. she got a set of the russian makarova, herfirst junior champion. she got a set of the russian makarova, her first set in the main draw since 2013 but it would go on to be eight first—round losses here at flushing meadows first there are positives, but i'm afraid we have two british casualties in day one. surrey stars have been crowned women's super league champions for the first time, thanks to a 66—run win against loughborough lightening. the stars were helped by a brilliant century from lizelle lee in the final at hove. century from lizelle lee henry moeran was watching. century from lizelle lee a century from lizelle lee really memorable day her! for a really memorable day here at hove for the 3800 supporters that made their way into watch the third

women's super league final state. a new winner fissore stars against western storm cover last year ‘s winners, if running game that went right down to the wire. the quickest 100 that has ever been scored. in response, the loughborough lightning stumbled and always look like a tall order once the lost a crucial batsmen at the top end the batting line—up. full of celebrations, enjoying themselves, the surrey sta rs. when it was introduced at the start of the f1 season, not everyone was a fan of the new halo protection system — but motorsport‘s world governing body, the fia says a crash involving sauber‘s charles leclerc at the belgian grand prix has shown its worth. let's have a look at this new video from le clerc‘s on board camera. fia race director charlie whiting

believes one of fernando alonso's tyres would have directly impacted le clerc‘s head when his maclaren was shunted into the air by nico hulkenberg's renault. however the new ‘halo' protection system was seen to deflect the tyre. whiting says it would have taken a "miracle" for him to avoid a fatal injury if the halo hadn't been in place. there was a brilliant weekend for british basketball, as the men won the wheelchair basketball world championships, beating the usa in the final. hugh woozencroft‘s been speaking to a couple of members of the team — greg warburton and george bates. we've heard a whole year of training building up to this and we all believed that we could do it, so when the final buzzer went, i felt more of a relief, and obviously elation for winning the world championships, that we have actually managed to do it. what was it like?

iagree, managed to do it. what was it like? i agree, relief, managed to do it. what was it like? iagree, relief, allthe managed to do it. what was it like? i agree, relief, all the work you have put in over the last year or so, it really isjust a relief. that is the elation first of all but the relief of realising you have a little bit of time to stop and think about the achievements you have just done. you have brought back a pretty huge trophy, who is going to take this one home? i thinki have huge trophy, who is going to take this one home? i think i have to ta ke this one home? i think i have to take it home for now, but i think the gb office will be pretty hot on my heels to try and get it back into a pretty big trophy cabinet they are going to have to make. and an individual trophy the year, you bring back mvp. were you ever expecting to win that? definitely not. i expecting to win that? definitely not. lam not expecting to win that? definitely not. i am not sure what the youngest mvp in the past was not being over 21 -- u21 did not mvp in the past was not being over 21 —— u21 did not expect it. it is all about the guys in the team and the squad. individual accolades are nice but at the end of the day it is

about this gold medal and this tournament. what was it like, the last few minutes, having such a sizeable lead, and thinking we have done it before the end of the game has come? it is a little bit surreal, you always expect to be in a surreal, you always expect to be in 9, surreal, you always expect to be in a game, but were to minister go, being 15 men —— 15 points, in any normal game that is game over but i still just out of the normal game that is game over but i stilljust out of the back of my mind, you never know, we have seen plenty of amazing things happen in sport but you never know. i was still focused on not blowing a lead that much. looking ahead to the next peril of the games, do you feel like the gold medal has to be the number one priority? absolutely, we have a target on our back now. now sports people say it is not hard to get to the top, it is harder to stay there, so with all the funding we get that allow us to train as hard as we can and full—time, that is only going to increase our chances of winning a gold medal at the paralympics.. seriously impressive trophy, too. a seriously impressive trophy, too. that's all from sportsday. thanks for watching.

enjoy the rst of your evening. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, who's the political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people, and the political commentator, jo phillips. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph reports allegations that a labour mp used taxpayers' money in a legal case against his parliamentary assistant. the financial times focuses on reports that the us and mexico have agreed the outlines of a new trade deal. the metro leads with

the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt's call for answers about what has happened to the rohingya muslims in myanmar. the i says the uk's foreign aid budget will be used to help british businesses invest in africa. the express reports violence against elderly people is on the rise. the guardian leads with new research, which suggests air pollution can reduce our intelligence. the times says head teachers have been excluding some badly performing pupils in the run up to their exams to get better places in the league tables. and the sun says a police sergeant is suing the force after live ammunition was accidentally fired at him during a training exercise. let's take a look at some of them in more detail. we are going to start with the the

i. we are going to start with the the |,a we are going to start with the the i, a picture of africa, not a country, but a continent. indeed, and theresa may, the prime minister, is in africa, herfirst and theresa may, the prime minister, is in africa, her first visit to the continent actually, and she is speaking in cape town tomorrow. so obviously the papers tomorrow have got the sort of briefing on what she is going to say, and it is quite a shift in britain's policy on foreign aid. i mean, you will remember there have been concerns and questions about where overseas international aid has gone too. a lot of it gets funnelled through charities, a lot of it goes on her geum is to people who are doing projects and so on. this is a shift to investing for britain, so much more business focused. she is on this trip to africa with business people as well, and it is going to be the uk's

biggest investment, which will outstrip all other countries, apart from china, by 2022. so it is actually quite a big deal. and, nigel come on this front page, it says that charities are set to question the changed werder spending aid money. i bet they will. they will lose their income. it will impact on them. i think this is a really good idea, something justin greening when she was international bledman secretary was actually angling for, and she was trained to show as much as possible how aid money actually benefits british business, because the whole point about the lot of it is to open up a new market, which tradition businesses can take advantage of. now, because people, generally speaking, the public are not terribly keen on so much aid money going, i mean it is £13 billion, not .7% of gdp, it is a way of actually selling it, it actually benefits britain. theresa may seems to be

going one stage further here by saying yes, absolutely, it will be to open up markets for private business, also use it for security. we want to make sure that we haven't got terrace coming from there to here. show we just take, on the point, just take the view as to the daily telegraph, because that is exactly where this is taking us. the headline there, foreign aid should unashamedly benefit the uk. sorry, carry on. it is that thing, as nigel was saying, actually if you are building local capacity, you are building local capacity, you are building sustainability, it is that old crier, that old logo, if you like to trade not aid, because there isn't a lot of point in handing out for desperate need, but if you build something local, you keep it small, and that means that local people can begin to build their own businesses and africa, and africa is booming. it is the new development area,

isn't it? and that is what we need to see and it is time there was a different relationship, instead of one of the generous benefactor. is i think this is very important. david cameron always gave the impression that the reason we were given foreign aid was out of the goodness of our hearts, basically a naturalistic thing, much better for this is how those, about actually benefiting britain. the danger in the past has been we have given foreign aid to the wrong places. it is notjust
