fell through the roof. i will have the latest for you. a world cup warm up win for england's women as they beat brazil. hamilton praises his team after taking poll position at the japanese grand prix. and leicester tigers score two tries in two minutes to beat northampton saints at twickenham. good evening. plenty of speculation over the future of the manchester united managerjose mourinho this morning. you may have seen it in your newspapers at breakfast or online. some of those online sites claiming that he would be sacked today. the bbc understands he still has the backing of the united board. but his team have had the worst

possible start to the match. of course it could make or break this man's united career. it is half now at old trafford and newcastle united weed 2—0 thanks to two goals in the opening ten minutes. i enjoy no by oui’ opening ten minutes. i enjoy no by our football reporter. you opening ten minutes. i enjoy no by ourfootball reporter. you have been watching events at old trafford unfold. it's quite unbelievable to see what has happened. tell us what has happened and tell us what might happen next. worst start for manchester united and jose mourinho because for the first time in the premier league at old trafford, they find themselves 2—0 down inside ten minutes. these the scenes asjose mourinho left the tunnel and got onto the pitch the beginning of the game. still united with hose a the signed three. we will see what happens after... jogging down the

budget looks like a man who is potentially 45 minutes away from being sacked. i was saying earlier that there were reports this morning and the bbc rooted around itself and we cannot he had the backing of the board but they are to have an zero down at half—time. does this change things now? it doesn't get much worse than this. newcastle haven't scored twice in the premier league this season. they did so in just ten minutes. first kennedy after said then. —— after seven. minutes. first kennedy after said then. —— afterseven. desperate times, destined —— desperate measures. jose mourinho sticking a defender only nine minutes after they went in. when i thought —— next was a gracious moment when marcus rashford missing a header on reply for manchester united and jose mourinho shrugged and turned her onto the fans as if to say "what can

i do" was ——7 onto the fans as if to say "what can i do" was --? earlier... well earlier england and newcastle legend chris waddlejoined my colleague hugh ferris. he told us mourinho's side, win or lose today, need to show flare. but that they'd probably be better off sticking with him. regardless of the night's result. it's the right thing to do because at the end of the day you have employed him, you have faith in him and the board think he's the one that will take the club bird —— further and does what manchester united won. all right, it is not happening and yet to make a decision. the fans have been well. they don't panic about getting rid of the manager. you would think he would have gone ten days or two weeks ago. to promise to fix. one is

the football and personal relationships with players. which do you think is the one he can fix or quicker? the style of play because they would not be getting the results. when you manage to collect manchester united, first and foremost it is about winning in style. man united have an attack cell. when you watch some of the performances recently, it has not been good for the standard of man united fans. at the end of the day the club could have millions of pounds. but you want to keep up your supporters. they have mass global. —— maskable support. they've been getting frustrated. they have to to get... the tactics for me are not right. a lot of players who play the top teams are good footballers who can play with freedom. and if you look at the man u players and the technical ones, the skilful ones, it

seems to be as if they have shackles oi'i seems to be as if they have shackles on them and can't express what they wa nt on them and can't express what they want to do. it becomes very frustrating for the players and frustrating for the players and frustrating for the fans and then goes into the boardroom. what is the endgame, how would this eventually and? in tears for some people. but jose mourinho his record is impressive. as man united manager, you have to be up to handle it. i think yes results are important and you want to see winning. but you must do it in a style at man united. jose mourinho is not the first but certainly does not right. they're just kicked off the second have nothing right right now. newcastle leading 2—0. tottenham made hard work of bottom side cardiff. but came out 1—0 winners. spurs boss mauricio pochetino getting the hugs but they should

have been thanking this man — eric dier, he got the only goal of the game. cardiff bottom. spurs are third. and cardiff and neil warnock still without a win this season, not helped today, in his view, by a controversial red card. i don't think the ref was going to get that. there were too many busy people around the referee. they change his mind from the yellow to the red. they took him out. but i doubt that it was violent conduct. when i look at danny rose doing the tackle on our guy, that was ten times worse than what i he did. i was proud of the lads after that. we kept discipline and we kept going so i can't be more pleased. watford were loving life in the premier league but not today hammered at home 4—0 by bournemouth. eddie howe's side were 3—0 up at half—time. watford were down to 10—men by then. joshua king got two—goals,

david brooks and callum wilson one—each. watford 8th. bournemouth 5th now. so how about that mr howe? everything was a proper performance for us. but we have room to improve. and girl from today. that's a really good sign and i think watford are a good sign and i think watford are a good team. even with ten men they made it difficult for us. we were pleased with a clean sheet and there isa pleased with a clean sheet and there is a lot to be happy about. let's take a look at the day's results then. huddersfield town are still looking for a first league win of this season after a 1—0 draw with burnely. another miserable day for crystal palace. keep an eye on match of the day tonight for glyfi sigurdsson's strike in everton's 2—1victory over leicester city who were down to ten men when wes morgan was sent off for the second time

in three league games. that result at the bottom of your screen but if it stays that way, and then you really do have to doubt whetherjose mourinho has much longer at manchester united. top of the table then. most of these of the top or point run sunday. the big ones manchester city and liverpool and chelsea also an action as was arsenal. but look at the wolverhampton wanderers starting to really enjoy life in the premier league. bottom of the table. things stay as they were at the bottom pretty much. part of cannot find it went. newcastle, well they will at the moment. find themselves much happier. a win for them, harder still still rooted to the bottom. in the scottish premiership, aberdeen have been struggling to find the net this season but they managed four against st mirren. bottom of the table dundee were beaten 2—1 by kilmarnock. hibs thrashed hamilton 6—0 and are just two points behind leaders, hearts. and there was a 1—1 draw between motherwell and livingston. newcastle united still lead 2—0. i

was not expecting us. i was expecting manchester united to co mforta bly expecting manchester united to comfortably beat newcastle and for all the speculation to perhaps server down over the weekend. sounds like it is pretty craft dashed quiet at old trafford. thank you. england's women are preparing for next year's world cup with warm up games against what manager phil neville hopes are tough tests against strong opposition. this afternoon they beat brazil 1—0 thanks to a fran kirby goal. jo currie reports from meadow lane. i , england. in the members of matches a lwa ys , england. in the members of matches always attract the fans. but there was one of plan everybody‘s lips. she is a massive player for them. whenever you talk about the brazilian side she is always there at the front of it. just something i'io at the front of it. just something 110 one at the front of it. just something no one has got. special. the brazilian is the sixth time fifa world cup layer of the year. but

england made today about them. this was a perfect start. she opened her reign of terror down the right to find fran kirby. in's number ten outshining her brazilian counterpart. but those words mean nothing on the pitch as england's defence stood strong. five minutes later and marked a's game was over before it brazil's loss was inman's game as they dominated the first half. paris coming close to doubling the lead firing off a shot when perhaps you should have passed. frustration for him and who should have been further ahead at the break. the second half brazil was almost given an equaliser. england nearly ended with a force. rachel daley‘s instinct of shot tested it the brazilian goal—tender. the lionesses had to settle for a 1—0 win. this score may not reflect inman's dominance in the match, a

win like this against one of the world's top teams just eight points out from the world cup is seen as a great start. happy to have won the game. a bit disappointed that we only had one goal. that's a bit we can work on but that's what these games are to see but we need to improve on and the fact that we have beaten brazil is transacted —— fantastic and the fact that we were disappointed that we didn't score more was great. marta came, england conquered. next up is a streit. —— next up is a streit. also coming up in the programme, we'll be live in vegas ahead of connor mcgregor‘s much anticipated ufc return to the octagon this weekend. and the third edition of the summer youth olympics opens in buenos aires in argentina later this evening. team gb has 43 athletes in argentina. lewis hamilton will start on pole position for tomorrow's japanese grand prix. hamilton's main rival sebastian vettel will start in ninth place after a tyre mix up.

while valterri bottas and max verstappen will start in second and third respectively. after qualifying, our reporter jennie gow headed for sushi, where she sent us this report. as you can see we are here injapan just a few kilometres down the road from the track and what a day it was. lewis hamilton getting 80th pole position. he was in such plain silly for the farah rate team. things seem to work —— worse. and when the rains flooded down, they we re when the rains flooded down, they were not quite on the right tyre at the right time. —— the ferrari team. ben crouch reports. formula 1 is a tea m ben crouch reports. formula 1 is a team game. right now, miss 80s are the masters. lewis hamilton qualified to perfection while sebastian vettel was left treading water. science and spins were there

early on for the ferrari driver. but his proms were nothing compared to marcus ericsson's. daniel ricard and needed help after more technical gremlins. he will start well down the field. with rain in the air, mercedes sent hamilton out atjust the right time with one shot to get it right and for the 80th time in his career, hamilton was in a class of one at the front followed by team—mate valtteri bottas. he slipped and slid his way to the top ten in what could be another season defining day that again went hamilton's wayne —— way. ben crouch, bbc news. sebastian vettel did not wa nt to bbc news. sebastian vettel did not want to blame the team he said it was just one of those things that happens. he wouldn't take responsibility for himself either. another costly mistake for ferrari. just lambasting the pit wall and say that they did not apply common

sense. that was what their owners said. hamilton on the flip side was extremely happy. it is so difficult out there to make the right call. i think that is another really big difference that we as a team have made this year. every team has smart people. but ultimately when it comes to being under pressure, making the right decision and right calls, that is why we are the best team in the world. sebastian vettel with lots of work to do whilst hamilton should find is relatively late sailing because the forecast for the race is fair. let's see what happens and if lewis hamilton can get one more step closer to that title. rugby union's premiership and leicester beat northampson saints 23 points to 15 at twickenham this afternoon. the game had been moved frm franklin's gardens in order to raise money for northampton's rob horne. —— from a fragrant gardens. patrick gearey reports on an emotional day at twickehnm. rob horn is brewed from modern rugs —— modern rugby's risk. he went for

a tackle and paralyses arm. this match raising money for him and his family. his redheaded team—mates had to forget what would happen or else they would never throw themselves in there. —— his northampton emits. the only way to play and east midlands derby. he charged tractor... rate —— he hope to capture his coach's attention. it can be easy to miss him once he is off. north hampton did. want to watch but don't blink. le i ceste r‘s did. want to watch but don't blink. leicester's lead was up. energy had been lost. that's what substitutes are for. northampton's mike haywood off the bench but the saints march ended there. there were more important things at play. in the day's other premiership results, sale beat newcastle by 20 points to seven. glousocester beat wasps 35-21. while harlequins against saracesn kicks off at 7:30 in the pro 1a, scarlets beat the ospreys 20—17.

moment for the toronto wolfpack, when the broncos and all of rugby to be playing the million pound game here. it is wonderful. your only two yea rs here. it is wonderful. your only two years older than the —— as a cult. and now you are on the cusp is super league. his present how fast this game was what we have had great support for our players and coaches on the field. and importantly our front office has delivered the infrastructure for our team to do as well. so we are surprised that the five—year plan. it's nice to get there earlier. mind you we thought there earlier. mind you we thought the rock to be gods smile on a sunday because they are the ones and of course the effort of our team, will determine whether we will achieve the goal. the logistics of how it works, what happens when you get into super league next year? because clubs let the fly there to play games, you have to fight here.

how will that all were? what you just said to us isjust having a successful result on sunday, the super league will draw up a schedule and we will play obviously in some blocks of home games and some blocks of away games yet to be determined. and of course the beginning of the season because of the weather here, we will be playing some home games and hopefully other cities in europe. which will be exciting for the growth of the game and the awareness of the game in other places. england's second warm up match for the one day international series against sri lanka was abandoned without a ball being bowled. heavy rain in colombo meant play wasn't possible against a sri lanka cricket eleven. the five—match series gets underway on wednesday in dambulla. yesterday the tourists won a weather affected first warm—up game by 43 runs. it saw them face ambidextrous bowler kamindu mendis, something england won't try to emulate. you can't teach an old dog new

tricks, can you ? you can't teach an old dog new tricks, can you? but i don't think i would try. it's special to watch that to be honest. it is a serious skill. we were talking about in the dressing room the fact that at first we did not notice that he had done it and then you obviously realise that. that's pretty special. if that can be seen more in the future, then it would be special for the game. conor mcgregor and khabib nurmagomedov meet in a ufc lightweight title fight in las vegas in the early hours. the bbc‘s oj borg is there for us. conor mcgregor never fails to entertain. oj, what interest is there in the united states for this fight was mac we asked an american journalist where this rent in american sporting life this week and he said this was the biggest thing going on. this event has come

through, notjust going on. this event has come through, not just an going on. this event has come through, notjust an mma fight, it isa through, notjust an mma fight, it is a mass event and they reckon it will do well. if you believe the hiring, it could be up to 4 million pay per views. this is vegas, this isa pipe pay per views. this is vegas, this is a pipe time. if you speak to people outside of it if you are the right age and demographic this is just massive the biggest mma fight in history. and if you're not the right age or demographic, you may call a pantomime. with all the controversy that has surrounded him recently, is there any kickback against it in the united states right now? not that i has seen and it is pantomime. but this is fight sports, it's about real as we guess they have a legitimate beef with each other. but all they have done, it's come from mcgregor‘s side. they have hyped the fight to the point where it is at fever pitch and it has just been where it is at fever pitch and it hasjust been on where it is at fever pitch and it has just been on believable. yet people made them put off by things that happen said. but the way that mcgregor‘s has gone after him and the way that he has not been faced

by mcgregor at all. so everyone here in davis —— is irish it seems. yes it will be —— it was pantomime. but it will be —— it was pantomime. but it isa it will be —— it was pantomime. but it is a big fight that you need to hype. connor mcgregor looks in fantastic shape and that we have those unsavoury scenes at the way in as well. who wins this one and whoever wins, what happens to the next? what happens next is both make more money because there will be some sort of free match. who wins this, if you go with the las vegas odds, he is a massive favour. he has ever lost and is the undisputed and undefeated lightweight champion of the usc. he is the most dangerous fighter pound for pound at the moment. he is a happy day for it. realistically what he is good at is wrestling is what mcgregor is bad at. but mcgregor has matted —— magic and is gone inside the fighter‘s had before. he has more punch power in his left hand. if you want to go by

the form book, then the other guy wins all they want. but mcgregor has matter. we love a underdog. enjoy your time matter. we love a underdog. enjoy yourtime in matter. we love a underdog. enjoy your time in vegas. the third edition of the summer youth olympics get underway in buenos aires tongiuht and the bmx rider, ross cullen, will be great britain's flag—bearer at the opening ceremony at 8 o'clock. the two—time world junior champion was chosen for the honour by his 43 team mates, who are all hoping to follow in the footsteps of jade jones and tom daley who went on from junior champions to claim senior olympic medals. bbc sport's nick hope is in argentina. when azeris, a breathtaking city. steeped in history and tradition. when azeris. of tango, steak and football. but for the next 12 days, the city is embracing the new for the city is embracing the new for the third edition of the summer youthin the third edition of the summer youth in the event into dust and watched jade jones career. as
