sportscenter. this evening. will the champions league ring any cheer to mourinho and manchester united? will be life at old trafford in just a moment. manchester city are looking for their first champions league win this season. they are underway in hoffenheim, and there have been goals. and all change for the bbc sports personality of the year award. a much shorter shortlist and that will only be revealed on the night. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm 0llie foster. evening, it's another champions league night. both manchester clubs are playing, we'll have the latest from city's match in germany in a moment but let's start with united . just over two weeks ago jose mourinho‘s team won

in switzerland 3—0 at young boys but they haven't won in their three games since. it's another slump that has exposed the manager's strained relationship with some of his players, notably their record signing paul pogba. tonight they face valencia at old trafford. in the next hour and a half or so. our sports editor dan roan is there, jose mourinho say that he doesn't think that his job is on the line. lose tonight against the very average valencia side and i think the sense will be that the point of no return here and manchester united is rapidly approaching. no mistake, whatever mourinho said in his press conference he is under significant pressure. especially after recent form, that defeat at the weekend, particularly chastening latu west ham united. that left united languishing in tenth position already in the premier league, nine

points already down on their arch rivals manchester city and liverpool who are atop the premier league table. it is their worst start to a premier league season will ever. that means tonight's result takes on extra significance. ironically in the champions league and i got to a very positive start, they beat young boys but since then that matches what to win, they have not had a win in the three matches they played, also been dumped out of the carabao cup as well. yesterday mourinho in his press conference did admit to the fact that certain players seem to ca re the fact that certain players seem to care more than others. this is what else he had to say. everybody is different. no player is the same. i see different reactions, but sometimes what you see is not really what is inside. i see people that doesn't look like they love the game. isee, that doesn't look like they love the game. i see, and the little two sessions of training that we had,

everything normal. everybody with desire to work and to play. i suppose the one note of optimism if the manchester united fans can find anything is that valencia are not having a great season. they are beatable, you would have thought. that right. mourinho has already a successful record against valencia from his time at real madrid. he knows all about this club. you're right, they are in poorform and i think lane bushing 14th in lelito. they lost their opening champions league match. —— languishing 14th in my league of. i think united are feeling the pressure. also may have significant injuries to think about, herrerin, lindegaard and young, all ruled out this evening. i think they will try to get some of their friends wears a start tonight, but it is certainly a game they will be desperate to win. here is what one of the valencia —based the

journalists over here covering the mets had to say about the opportunity the spanish side have tonight. it is the best moment to come here and win. we have to think, you can to old trafford would get just united was the leader of the reilly and winning all the games, it is difficult because they are big fans, bigger stadium and now you have to come and take the problems and make them your best. i think valencia thinks that is the best moment to come here to win. because mourinho is in trouble. we know mourinho. he was with real madrid. we remember him the last season with real madrid i'm a it is so similar to hear. in spanish, really it is in the news with manchester united and they feel that problem will be good for valencia and make it possible. mourinho has issued something of a rallying right in his programme does

this evening. he says that no team must ever loses dignity, and that players must be exhausted as they leave the pitch after every game. clear message to some members and is squad who he feels to not care as much as others. of course the important problem with united in recent weeks hasn'tjust been on performance, but also off field matches as well. quite frankly, the relationship with some of his he players appears to be at an all—time low. very well—publicized rows with stars like all pogba and alexi sanchez as well. one can only assume that message in his programme notes is aimed directly at the likes of them. that huge amount at stake here this evening. win and it could give united the confidence and momentum they so desperately need to turn things around. malusi a tonight against a very average valencia side of the champions league and newcastle united here again in the week at the weekend was that abandoned the situation is i think

absolutely pa rentless for abandoned the situation is i think absolutely parentless for mourinho if it is not already. many thanks. manchester city are top of the premier league table but they are bottom of their champions league group after their opening defeat to lyon. they are approaching halftime in germany where they are playing hoffenheim. the bundesliga side who are playing in the gorup stages for the first time took a shock lead inside 30 seconds but sergio aguero equalised not long after. it isi-i. approaching half—time. liverpool are at napoli tomorrow, tottenham are playing at wembley against the spanish league leaders barcelona. spurs lost their opening champions league tie, conceding twice late on at inter milan. barca are on a poor run of form domestically, but of course they have lionel messi. as players you want to play against the best players in the world and messi is certainly that. so yeah, he a fantastic player and i am sure we do our best to stop him from adding

to that record in england. he's definitely set the standard for the rest of us. and it still is. he is still scoring goals. for me, it motivates me to get even better and improve and hopefully one day, yeah, score as many or more improve and hopefully one day, yeah, score as many oi’ more than improve and hopefully one day, yeah, score as many or more than what he has. but we need to focus on ourselves as well. we've got some great players. we need to play with energy and attack the game. and hopefully if we do that, we can come out on top. the las vegas metropolitan police department has re—opened an investigation into a report of the alleged rape of a woman, who says she was attacked by the five time world footballer of the year cristiano ronaldo. here's our sports news correspondent richard conway. an american woman claims that cristiano ronaldo raped her in a hotel room in las vegas in 2009. ronaldo has dismissed the claims, reported first by a german publication, as "fake news". his representatives say they will take legal action against the magazine. the magazine says a report was filed

with the las vegas police a day after the alleged incident, but the victim did not provide a location, nor did she give a description of the suspect. in 2010, the woman reportedly reached an out—of—court settlement with ronaldo for £288,000, and that was an agreement for not going public with the allegations. her lawyers are now seeking to overturn that nondisclosure agreement, and last night, las vegas police said they have reopened a sexual assault investigation from 2009. they are said to be following up with information they have received from the victim. sports correspondent richard, there. also coming up in the programme... a big day for the matt hampson foundation, the opening of a centre to help those seriously injured through sport. and after a golden career in charge of great britains women, we hear from the coach looking to take the men to the top. the bbc‘s sports personality

of the year awards show is returning to birmingham. there are going to be some big changes to the format with a shorter shortlist, that will only be revealed on the night. there is also going to be a new award for the sports moment of the year. dan pallett reports. applause it's bigger than ever and is heading back to birmingham. for sports fans, bbc sports personality is a highlight of the year. for those in front of the camera, it is one of the most nerve—racking. front of the camera, it is one of the most nerve-racking. the audience is huge. 12,000 people in front of you, all those eyeballs on you, the walk—out itself is always quite nerve—racking, you don't want to fall nerve—racking, you don't want to fa ll over nerve—racking, you don't want to fall over and trip up. that two minutes is really important to take it all in because before you know what you are all in and the whole thing is gone. it is definitely the most nerve—racking night of the year for me. and one of the most exciting

as well stop by the programme is steeped in history. it began in 1954. in front of me here on the deskis 1954. in front of me here on the desk is the trophy that last time was presented to the sportsman or woman, joe's and bbc's sportsman personality of the year. but he never stood still. the last was the first programme with a public audience and birmingham in 2006. this year's innovations include the introduction of an award for the best sporting moment, and there will best sporting moment, and there will bea best sporting moment, and there will be a smaller shortlist for the main award. we will have to wait a little longer to find out who is on it. we are going to reveal the shortlist, not in advance of the programme, but on the night of the programme. and we think that will make a most tremendous start in march of the two—hour show. tremendous start in march of the two-hour show. the names already on the trophy are illustrious. the public doesn't always vote for the obvious. the favourite in 1954 was roger bannister, after breaking the four minute mile, but the winner was

another athlete. you can own all you like, but if the public decide you're not getting it and you are not getting a new name is not getting on there. there are some incredible names on there and there will be another one here. andy murray one in 2016 when birmingham last hosted the awards. we will find out this year's winner on sunday, december 16. dan pallett, out this year's winner on sunday, december16. dan pallett, bbc out this year's winner on sunday, december 16. dan pallett, bbc news. you may have seen that a spectator at the ryder cup is considering taking legal action against the organsers after she was seriously injured. she lost her right eye after being hit by a wayward tee shot from the american brooks koepka. earlier i spoke to paul paxton, head of personal injury at the law firm stewarts. it isa it is a horrible incident. the issue of spectator safety is obviously very important for the organisers. of very important for the organisers. of any event you only need to go back to hillsborough for example, or the shore of air disaster, to see

what outcomes that can be —— shore ofair what outcomes that can be —— shore of air disaster. with goffin is obviously very distant —— different. it is meant to be a ledger early game. but the claim one would look to bring against the european tour will be the organisers rather than the golfing itself. this incident occurred on one of the narrower fairways, and to that extent the spectators are probably closer to the action so to speak him and they might be on other holes. if any legal action was taken they will be looking to see how the european tour rule organised the ryder cup, just out of the cloud were, or the galleries were to that fairway and whether it was safe? correct. i think that would be the first call. 0bviously they are in line with these professional golfers, surprisingly in many ways only hit the fairway on about 60% of their drives. therefore it is quite foreseeable that the balls going to

go astray. 0n the other hand, the spectators know that these balls can fly anywhere. and the organisers have been quick to point out that there were repeated calls for watch out, the ball is coming our way. like you say, this is going to be a tricky one. i think it is going to be tricky. and the call of "four", most spectators will be aware of what that means. but in the excitement of the moment i'm not surprised that this poor lady did not pick it up. rbc there's no criticism of her whatsoever. but it isa criticism of her whatsoever. but it is a difficult time because she would need to show that there was fault and blame. would need to show that there was faultand blame. i would need to show that there was fault and blame. i think being practical about it, the european tour will see this as a bit of a pr disaster. and i have no doubt that they will see to look after her in some shape or form. let's have a quick look

at some of the day's other headlines, the plan to hold both scottish league cup semi—finals at hampden on the same day is set to be changed. after the sfa waived their legal obligation to stage both at the national stadium. rangers are set to face aberdeen at noon, with celtic against hearts in the evening. the first match could now take place at murrayfield. police scotland had been against the double header and also transport companies who say they weren't consulted. wakefield's tom johnstone is among five uncapped players called up for england's rugby league test series against new zealand that starts later this month. the opening match is on october the 27th. brazil's maya gabeira has set a world record for the biggest wave surfed by a woman. this is at the infamous nazare break in portugal, the wave was over 20 metres high. this was back injanuary but the record has only just been ratified. matt hampson's life changed instantly and unimaginably when he injured himself playing rugby with england s under 21s. he was paralysed.

but his foundation has helped create a place where young people with catastrophic sporting injuries can reshape their lives. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson was at today's opening. here ina here in a windswept field is the get busy living centre. it has all been planned by matt hankin and his charity. it has taken over £1 million of fundraising to get here. and a lot of work. you can see from the outside that it is split over two levels. the ground floor has been used for a party today, but it will be for young people with serious injuries and their families to come and socialise, to eat, drink and live. the top floor is for the ha rd and live. the top floor is for the hard physical work, visit with state—of—the—art gym equipment. i guess it is about tackling those two elements of recovery from life—changing injury. it is all the brainchild of matt hampton. life—changing injury. it is all the brainchild of matt hamptonm life—changing injury. it is all the brainchild of matt hampton. it was a lwa ys brainchild of matt hampton. it was always a long—term dream of the foundation to have that. a physical

place where a beneficiaries and the families could come to bounce off each other. and in buyer each other. and try and help each other through this tricky situation —— inspire each other. today's unveiling was conducted in part by mike tindall with his royal connections coming into play, hejoked, but he has for many years been involved with matt hampton and his charity. here's what he had to say today. it is every by he had to say today. it is every rugby player's worst nightmare but it is also a very possible outcome, especially for people playing in the forwards. i think every rugby player would say that if they knew anyone that that happened to, they would always wa nt that that happened to, they would always want to know that there was someone who had been through it and thatis someone who had been through it and that is where the idea for the foundation came from. the dream for thejury to foundation came from. the dream for the jury to use to build living centres like this, maybe even

abroad. he holds it will only be the start of things. and it is the purpose in his life now, he admits. you don't know what way your life is going to take you. it is really tricky when you leave hospital, because you are very isolated and you feel on your own and you do not know how your life is going to pan out. i just really know how your life is going to pan out. ijust really wanted to help other people because ijust saw them in sucha other people because ijust saw them in such a terrible situation. and i just thought i'd get really help these people out. an inspiration, matt hampton there at the opening of the foundation's new centre. just over two years ago, danny kerry guided the british women s hockey team to their first 0lympic title and it was expected he would lead them into the next games in tokyo. in august, he switched to the men s team and he has his first official match in charge tomorrow evening. here's our olympic sports reporter nick hope. turns, scores! that is the golden goal! it became one of the most iconic moments of the rio 0lympics.
