the former director of the cia, david petraeus, senatorjohn mccain, will be speaking about the lasting legacy of the us senatorjohn mccain, who died on the weekend. and we'll get more on the fire in belfast that has destroyed a historic building in the city — which has existed for nearly 250 years. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh woozencroft. what's eating jose? we'll look at what's next for manchester united boss after another premier league defeat. i won more premierships alone than the other 19 managers together. three for me, and two for them. respect.

respect, respect, respect. both jamie vardy and gary cahill choose to step away from international football as gareth southgate prepares to name his first england squad after their impressive world cup campaign. and british number onejohanna konta says she's feeling better mentally and emotionally as she readies herself for a tough opening round round match at this year's us open. hello and welcome to sportsday. what is happening at manchester united 7 a poor pre season full of inconsistent performances and stories of unrest regarding a lack transfer activity and back pages about a fallout between the manager and his star player. they've all run into the new premier league campaign it seems with the club making its worst start for 26 years.

to compound it, last night saw their heaviest home defeat under jose mourinho as spurs ran out 3—0 winners at old trafford. adam wild reports. so what about this? he's standing and clapping at the supporters, and those who are there are now saying that at him and applauding him, too. what are reformers that was from jose mourinho. for a united side, jose mourinho. fora united side, opinion jose mourinho. for a united side, opinion has rarely felt more divided. jose mourinho defiant, again his own reputation he chose to defend. i won more premierships alone than the other 19 managers together. three for me, and two for them. respect. respect, respect, respect. respect is what he demands, that football can be unforgiving. this is bbc five live. we're just talking

about mourinho's contributions to the english game, what do we think? i support manchester united and i do believe he is not coping with that pressure. he's wrong on ego and short on application. key outside like a petulant toddler. mourinho, as he has always done, continues to provoke debate. his line remains results on the pitch. three goals on his first site —— the spurs side, back—to—back defeats for manchester united, a sobering side for the club'shierarchy and those fans who could bear to watch to the end. perhaps not the ideal day for another marketing push for british football's biggest brand, launching their new pink away kit today. but mourinho remains the man most mentioned. i think they have lost respect for him, i'd help if they get someone as they will respect

them and start playing better. this is one of the worst football sides we've had. as the supporters and as a club, you can on the do it so much. by christmas, maybe start talking about that sort of stuff. but let him work with his squad and see what he can do. that's whatever his future at united, defiance will not stop people talk. —— his future at united, defiance will not stop people talk. -- whatever his future at united, defiance will not stop talk. well to join me to discuss the fallout from last night is ian ladyman, the daily mail's football editor... you were in that press conference — what do you think is happening tojose mourinho at present, because all doesn't seem right? he's not handling the pressure terribly well, but it is not alien, we have seen this before. if i was a united fan i would be encouraged by what i saw and heard from that press conference last night because at

least he came out fighting, at least he stood there, or sat there, and defended his team, his players, his club, himself. and essentially issued a bit of a call to arms to supporters to get behind the team, ignore what in the media and see if he can help the team dragged themselves up the mess they have got into. i mentioned at the top of the programme, some of the preseason, i guess, and rest as i put it, why do you think you changed his tune, he was next at the media have an agenda against his side, transfers, not the players he wanted, what was his issue? it was a classic tactic we've seen issue? it was a classic tactic we've seen before, alex ferguson was the master of this tactic, siege mentality. convinced the players and fa ns mentality. convinced the players and fans that everyone is against them and hope it brings out the best. i happen to think it's a little bit too late. if they had committed the preseason and then into the start of the season with a bit more of this kind of attitude, a bit more bombast, instead of the southern, rather sulky mourinho we sought for

a few weeks before the season started, the team might not be in this mess. what you have to remember with situations like this is that the supporters are watching, but players are watching, too. they watch and way wiggy manager behaves and takea watch and way wiggy manager behaves and take a lot from that. and i think one of the things that has gone wrong for mourinho so far this seasonis gone wrong for mourinho so far this season is that players have picked up season is that players have picked up on the negativity you brought to the start of the season. up on the negativity you brought to the start of the seasonlj up on the negativity you brought to the start of the season. i was going to say, he changed the defence last night and he has had a lot to say about wanting new central defenders. there were lots of stories that harry maguire, the england defender might comment to manchester united in the summer. that didn't happen. i been up paying for a lack of spending, maybe that's the wrong word, but i lack of players coming in? manchester united are paying the cost of not... not not spending, but spending on the wrong players. the wrong fires me five years since alex ferguson stood down. they spent a lot of money. managers always want to spend more about the fact is that mourinho, and before him david moyes

spend a lot of money, but sadly have not spend that money on the right players. and that costing them at the moment. they've got a run of four gained that many people would see it with all due respect is winnable, bromley, watford wolves, west ham to come. ince can change very quickly in football. do you think some of those fans mentioning how unhappy they are will change their tune if they have a good run? they absolutely can change it around andi they absolutely can change it around and i would expect them to change it around. i would expect manchester united by the start of winter to be ”diff—vi h; the zine—é a! egi-zte— q; e; ———— — —— ——— or ”diff—vi it; the zine—é a! egi-zte— ?a h; ———— — —— ——— or fourth !!"zi‘!a;‘ ‘ll' ‘jha zine—é a! leji-lqa— {a aa ———— — —— ——— orfourth in !!"zi‘!a;‘ ‘ll! ‘jha zine—é a! leji-lqa— {a aa ———— — —— ——— orfourth in the premier third orfourth in the premier league, which is probably what that squad deserves. it can turn round a little bit. but mourinho has got to try and get the team playing a little more attractive football. if you're not going to win the league, you're not going to win the league, you have to entertain some people. at the moment, in his two years so far, mourinho is falling in between those things. there's been a bit of a blow for england manager gareth southgate today. with the news gary cahill

and jamie vardy will be effectively be ending their england careers. here's what gary cahill had to say to chelsea tv after making his decision. i think it's time to make a step back and it's the right moment to do that. i'm hugely proud of what i've achieved, being capped for my country, which has been a huge honour, something i've been really proud of in my career. and i can see now is going to a younger generation. i think it's time for me to ta ke generation. i think it's time for me to take a step back, its a perfect time. cahill‘s choice may be less surprising but jamie vardy, he had a meteoric rise, he of course won the premier league with leicester city. it's been a roy of the rovers type story, you thought he might stay on eastern championships. vardy has had one of the shortest international careers we have known, he came late and is departing hourly. iam

we have known, he came late and is departing hourly. i am surprised because he would have got some... he wouldn't have been a first choice starter but he would have played, he would have been a very effective substitute, came on during the world cupa substitute, came on during the world cup a few times as a substitute. i am surprised. best of luck to them in the future and thanks so much for joining us, thank you very much. there are 21 live matches this evening in the second round of the efl cup, the point of the competition where those top flight clubs who aren't in europe enter the competition. west ham united are bottom of the premier league so maybe afc wimbledon will be hopeful of a shock. jamie vardy plays against his former club as leciester host fleetwood. leeds are top of the championship — they host preston. stoke haven't had a great season so far, can they build on their first league win this term against huddersfield? league two side mansfield visit west brom while exeter travel to craven cottage to play fulham. you can follow all the rest of the evening's fixtures on the bbc sport website and via the bbc red

button on final score. and 5live will have full commentary of west ham — afc wimbledon. also coming up in the programme... we hear from one of scotland's star players as they aim for a slice of history. to reach the world cup for your country, a small country like scotland, it would be incredible. especially for the first time. now, away from football, there was a so—so start for british players in the opening round of the singles at tennis's us open. british number one kyle edmund went out, along with cameron norrie and heather watson. but andy murray showed us a glimpse that he is building his fitness steadily, by winning his first ‘best—of—s—sets' match for 14 months. james burford watched his victory overjames duckworth. andy murray!

cheering a special welcome at a special place. the scene of his first grand slam triumph, now the scene of his grand slam return. a return that james duckworth would still he could typeset, and he made a promising start, taking the first set in a tie—break. but one thing we know about andy murray is that he thrives off adversity, much to his opponenfs off adversity, much to his opponent's frustration. frustration that would result in a double fault to level the match. just the kind of platform the former champion wanted, just the kind of platform to build on. trademark murray, trademark pass, control established. just look. the murray method for dismantling the breath proved effective and that has to feel good. —— dismantling doppler. the first grand slam victory in over a year. british number one johanna konta

begins her campaign in the women's singles later with a less than ideal matchup against the sixth seed caroline garcia, and after a first round exit in new york last year, she's says she's ‘feeling better mentally and emotionally‘ after admitting she had been feeling burnt—out. our correspondent russell fuller has more... after the frustration of wimbledon, johanna konta made a spectacular start to this us hard court summer, beating serena williams for the first time and dropping only one game in the process in california. and she has had some standout results since, she has beaten grand slam champions. but she knows she now needs to string together a sequence of wins in the same week if we're going to see her recapture the sort of form that became commonplace up sort of form that became commonplace up until lastjune's wimbledon. caroline garcia is a horrible start. it's the first time konta has not been seeded in the grand slam for the last ten events. so to play the world number six in the opening

round is not ideal. but she does have a winning record against the french player, she has won three of their five matches, and french player, she has won three of theirfive matches, and if you're a glass half—full kind of person, victory today would open up much more palatable route into the second week of the us open. but that still seems a long way away. konta has a really, really tough start on another very hot and humid new york day. you can hear that match on radio 5live sports extra throughout the evening, before that, there's coverage of former winners novak djokovic and roger federer‘s matches out on arthur ashe stadium. england bastmanjonny bairstow says he hope to keep wicket for the fourth test against india, despite fracturing a finger in the third test at trent bridge earlier this month. the fourth test will get underway on thursday at southampton. india won the last game but england lead the 5 match series 2—1 .

i think it feels good. obviously, we will know more later on today, but the swelling has gone down and it's a lot better than i thought it would be. if i'm not able to keep wicket, i would like to think i will play as a specialist batsman but at the same time, i'm desperate to still try and keep my place as the keeper. there are some very good football matches to come later this week. as wales and england fight it out for a place in next year's women's world cup. should england avoid defeat they'll keep their qualification hopes alive, but for the welsh, a win would send them straight into their first world cup in france next year. it's obviously a huge game, probably the biggest one in terms of international football that any of us international football that any of us have ever had and it's the sort of game you want to play in. so there's very little pressure on us, especially from outside the camp. amongst ourselves, we have expectations of what we expect from ourselves and each other. yes, it's a great time to be involved in world

football and we can't wait for friday to kick—off. it will be a pivotal match not only for the welsh, but also for phil neville's tenure as england boss. he leads a side that reach the semi—finals last time around but he is attempting to reach his first major finals as coach. we went to see them at st george park earlier today. in 2015, the lionesses were the surprise packet at the world cup in canada, coming home with the much celebrated bronze medal. fast forward , celebrated bronze medal. fast forward, there on the verge of qualifying for next year's tournament in france. but in their way, a familiar foe tournament in france. but in their way, a familiarfoe in tournament in france. but in their way, a familiar foe in wales. whoever wins will go through to the tournament automatically. england will start as heavy favourites. so how much pressure is on the lionesses to perform? where we are now as a team, we want to be the best team, we want to win the world cup, we want to be there and up against the top and that's the

qualifiers. i think the difference now with qualifiers is that the standard has gotten better in women's football, which we have wa nted women's football, which we have wanted for years and years, and now that it has got better, people are going, you might not qualify. we wa nt going, you might not qualify. we want this, we want competition in every single game. i actually don't feel the pressure. i know people say it isa feel the pressure. i know people say it is a massive game, i see it as an important game and it's not about me. this one game will not define me asa me. this one game will not define me as a manager either way. me. this one game will not define me as a manager eitherway. if me. this one game will not define me as a manager either way. if we win, if we lose, i don't become a good or bad manager overnight. so it's not really about me. it's about the players on the field and the players are sticking to the game plan we have been working on all week. so quiet optimism amongst the england squad ahead of friday'smatch. but after a goalless d raw squad ahead of friday'smatch. but after a goalless draw against wales in the home qualifier, they will have to be at their very best to get that all—importa nt victory have to be at their very best to get that all—important victory to steal their place in france next summer. for wales, though, and familiar territory. they have never qualified for a women's major tournament and this may be their best opportunity to do so. whichever team loses on

friday will be left to go to a potential play—off competition to reach the world cup and neither team wa nts to reach the world cup and neither team wants to face that. the scottish women's football are another side on the verge of history. they know if they beat switzerland by two goals, they're virtually assured of a place at the world cup for the first time. alasdair lamont has been to meet one of scotland's star players, erin cuthbert, in the build—up. erin cuthbert is a rising star. at 20, already a regular at double winners chelsea. but everything she does here, she says, is to prepare herfor pulling on does here, she says, is to prepare her for pulling on the shirt of her beloved scotland. to reach a world cup would probably be the greatest achievement that i think i'd ever achieved in my life, to be honest. it's fine, the club honours and even winning the champions league at to reach the world cup for your country, a small country like scotland, it would be incredible. especially for the first time. erin cuthbert has come a long way in a short time, from a raw teenager

playing part—time football with glasgow city to first—team regular at the top club in england. his last 18 months have shaped her brother on the field as well as off it. he moved to london from the family home in ourshow moved to london from the family home in our show was a big one but in question reckons, the right one. —— the move. i've had to drop a little bit, you know, living with family i had everything done for me to now moved into my own apartment and have to do everything myself, i can't lie on mum and dad is used to, so i think there has been an element of me growing up. —— can't rely on. and i think i've matured on the pitch as well. scotland have already felt the benefit of that. some were of this against switzerland could help her her world cup dream. and she's not the only one aiming to achieve her footballing dreams. the eight—times olympic gold medallist usain bolt continues to train with his new football team — australian a league club central coast mariners — as he prepares for his first trial match on friday.

bolt holds the world record in the 100 and 200 meters but is attempting to make the switch to professional football. and the world's fastest runner is having to get used to slowing down in football as well as sprinting. he is still working out which position he will play. for me, it's a
