and a member we will bejoining and a member we will be joining john watson in the team for sports day but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. we will finna late tonight or the horse racing resume on wednesday and after i will be talking to the leading trainers about the impact this outbreak has had. beyond 100 days will be talking to the bbc correspondents in el paso, texas where president trump will be telling supporters that the city is safer because walls have protected it from crime across the border in mexico. and after the conservative chairman called for gcse is to be scrapped with the way up the pros and cons of the school exam system. we will take our daily look at the front pages of the papers and the brexit editor. lots to come here bbc news but now it's time for sports day. hello and welcome to sportsday.

the headlines tonight. in a class of his own, paul scholes takes over at his boyhood club. i'm coming to my hometown club which could be a good thing or bad thing. we will see. he's united united. cam solskjaer pass his next test in the champions legue. and denly digs to show england what they've been missing in the west indies. also coming up in the programme... cleared to race in ireland — will british runners get the go ahead here. 11 league titles, two champions league medals,

paul scholes will draw on every ounce of that experience as he takes his firstjob in management at league two 0ldham. he was announced as their new manager today, a club he supported as a boy. he said he'd had a few opportunities to take the job over the past few years but didn't feel ready until now. i'm sure that when things come up i don't know how to deal with i will be the first man on the phone with sir alex and it going over and looking at the lads, gary has great in spain. 0bviously with the jobs 110w in spain. 0bviously with the jobs now a lot of people can do it. plenty of those members of the

so—called class of 92. the golden generation that came through manchester united. taking a look at the others and paula stood alongside them there. many have already tried and he's the next two to follow them. how well have the others done? philjoined a little bit later. david beckham is the only one that has not gone into management. spent most of his time being david beckham working on his franchise in miami starting up a new football franchise. he was roy's assistant and lasted for months atjust three of 16 league games. sticking to punditry mainly. his brother was a

volunteer with the before getting his first managerial job volunteer with the before getting his first managerialjob with england. guided them to the world cup and nikki has been at united pretty much since his retirement. he heads up there academy could be a good ally if they fancy loan signings at any point. he took charge of four games when david was sacked in 2014 and then worked under louis before taking over at wales. all four of them have a stake in the national league side. moderate success national league side. moderate success in their fledgling managerial careers in you might remember the old question of who is best in the midfield. was it paul or frank or stephen? that debate as many of you have been pointing out you can reopen at all three of them in the first managerialjobs. interestingly talk about the likes of gerard. relatively big jobs

with their first steps of football. as for paul he stepped down the divisions and you see that when they get theirfirstjob. if divisions and you see that when they get their firstjob. if you are very close links with all of them. he's a boyhood fan of them. backin back in 1990 he even went to watch them play against united in an fa cup title. in 2017 he was interviewed for the job but he has had a few hopes jump through. pushing for promotion and he said to step down as a director but has kept his stake in the club. be fascinating to see what would happen

to see if they can take them out of lea ks you and to see if they can take them out of leaks you and get promoted. is that presumably why he has been brought in? is he looking at promotion or trying to avoid relegation? we would hope he is looking at promotion. this is the league table for the second leak. you look at the top half and you won't see 0ldham athletic there but if you're going into the bottom half that they are in 14th place and nine points of of the promotion and they sacked frankie back in december so clearly they want a promotion because they we re they want a promotion because they were 12 then and now 14th in his first game in charge will be tomorrow night and no doubt i think the playoffs will be the main ambition the season and giving them back to league 1. judging by that they have somewhere to go and of course the oval first. many thanks indeed by that. he was pleased to see scholes back in the game.

and if some of the papers are to be believed, he's set to get the united job on a permanent basis. they play paris saint germain in the champions league tomorrow — the bbc‘s football reporter simon stone believes the outcome of that could prove pivotal for solskjaer and his chances it's a big few weeks as opposed because after this magnificent start to his period in charge of manchester united ten wins from 11 games and now have got psg coming out of and then we have chelsea and liverpool there's another meeting there. arsenal, man city and is the final games i suppose. as you will see he is speaking today and very confident and very relaxed and very upbeat about what lies ahead. they've given us the best possible opportunity about how we have gone

into this game. confident and i found out what team we have looking like a team where we are agreeing and how we should approach games. if there was ever a chance or a time to go into big games like this it's now of course. it's a big week, clearly, what do you think then that they have to do to get thatjob full time to convince the board that he is the right man to take on thatjob? i think it's hisjob right man to take on thatjob? i think it's his job to lose at the moment. if it goes wrong tomorrow night at the weekend or on monday the next time they have a big game that they are capable of coming back from that these are the things now that he's been judged from that these are the things now that he's beenjudged on. it's interesting what he's done behind—the—scenes to bring the unity back to old trafford. some of the

methods that he's using in and around the training ground that are reaping the rewards. the first anecdote in the piece that's on the website relates to these chocolate bars and any time they went home to norway became almost a tradition and bring back these chocolate bars give them to the members of staff that nobody really sees happy with book the travel, the chef and they came and have these bars of chocolate and it's like he had never been away. from that moment almost he has recreated the feeling that was there when sir alex ferguson was there. that's what manchester united would be getting rid of again if they decide that they don't want him as a manager. that's almost beyond anything.

if only rafa benitez and newcastle could discover that winning ingredient. just outside the relegation zone on goal difference they play high flying wolves at molineux in the premier league tonight. conor mcnamara is there. at the start of the season they had similar ambitions is to where they would like to be and to where they would like to be and to the table at the stage of the season but look at them now. virtually at opposite ends and wills are in seventh place with the premier league top six. for wolves well there will probably feel the top six or something of a closed shop and whoever they can take a lot of solace in the fact that they can claim to be the best of the rest at the moment. should they win this evening there was so a new total for the number of premier league points they have earned it a season. just

shows what a good job that they've been doing. for newcastle the alarm bells have been ringing very loudly ina new bells have been ringing very loudly in a new record chance or purchase and will seat miguel make his new debut. it is very well in atlanta with the mls but this will see how he fares the premier league. they will be desperate for him to hit the ground running. confirmation as well tonight that aaron ramsey has agreed to join juventus this summer — and his salary is truly eye—watering. he'll be earning just over 400,000 pounds a week. he'lljoin on a four year deal, as a free agent at the end of the season after 11 years with arsenal. with the likes of celtic, hibs and hearts already through to the quarterfinals of the scottish cup, we have one more match tonight. it's ross county against inverness — and the draw for the sixth round will be made straight after the highland derby, which kicks off in a little over half an hour's time. still to come on sportsday.

england'sjordan nobbs on the day her world cup dream ended. i knew straightaway my first words we re i knew straightaway my first words were i'm going to miss the world cup. idid were i'm going to miss the world cup. i did my knee and that was it, really. despite an early stutter, england's cricketers have stretched their lead over the west indies on day three of the third test. let's have a look at the day's play so far with former england captain michael vaughan thank you forjoining us. it was all about mark yesterday and it was made in five and it will be pleased to make it through without using the

wicked but it's a pretty poor start in the end. rory got first ball of the day on day three today. england have been held for the injury and rory burns missed a great opportunity to get the big score to establish himself at the top of the order. it was an innocuous first delivery. probably a little bit more loose than that. i would think that by playing well today they would get into the ashes test match. we have the betting at the top of the order has been a problem for england in that troublesome number three spot as well. he managed to get it a half—ce ntu ry as well. he managed to get it a half—century today and do we think that this is him feeling that spot permanently heading into what's a

big yearfor the ashes permanently heading into what's a big year for the ashes to come? if you get three figures you will d eftly you get three figures you will deftly be playing in the next match. nice and easy one should have been taken but you played well and it was the manner which he played his strokes which were so impressive. it's the way that you play the relate sends the message that you should be around for a little bit longer and with the they played today i would expect them to play against ireland was the next match in the weekend and after that the ashes test match begins and i would think that he's doing enough to certainly play in the first test match against australia and he was the pick which was always handy when you've been picked by the chairman of selectors and i would think you get a few more games. let's talk keetonjennings get a few more games. let's talk keeton jennings because get a few more games. let's talk keetonjennings because he dropped in the last test and back for this one. we know how important it is for england to try and get that right at the top of the order and he was out

for 23 today. he managed to register big score so far and where does that leave him in his selection?” big score so far and where does that leave him in his selection? i think he is struggling. when he faces this it's a good player and when he struggles. he has an average of around 15 when he is facing good bowlers. he's played with different wickets and it's not enough to return. 17 test match is now and so i don't think you can have the excuses that is not been given a chance. i don't think his movement at the crease in the manner of the way he could see the deliveries it's got a real problem and how you can got a real problem and how you can go towards the ball. just struggling for his test career at the top of the order. a lot of work for england to do heading into the ashes of this

summer. lets have a look at some of the other stories making the sports news today . john higgins made a great start to the defence of his welsh open title, beating fellow—scot graeme dott 4—0 in cardiff. higgins has already won this event a record five times. not good news for british skiier jack gower who crashed in his downhill run of the combined event at the alpine world skiing championships in sweden. it means he didn't make it as far as the slalom run. and extraordinary conditions at pebble beach in california forced the pga event into a fifth day — green keepers can't often have to remove hail during a tournament. but phil mickelson held on to his three—shot overnight lead to win it — his 44th tour title. scotland's six nations campaign took a knock at the weekend, with defeat at home to ireland — and it's taken another one today. with back row ryan wilson joining their long injury list. he'll miss the rest of the championship, after suffering knee ligament damage at murrayfield. rob harley and gary graham look to be the leading contenders to start against france in paris

on saturday week. we'll find out this evening whether or not horse racing will resume on wednesday. four more cases of equine flu have been identified at a second yard. six horses were found to be infected in cheshire last week. the new outbreak is in newmarket. national hunt's showpiece meeting the cheltenham festival is only a month away. here's leading trainer nicky henderson. i've got quite a few i would like to run again and it would do so this weekend. after this week, really, you are getting too close. to think about running them. it's now or never. i think as far as it's

concerned they are not going to threaten them but we would like to have a lot that will run in the meantime. expecting an announcement later on tonight. joe astronomy in the eight straight wins for club side arsenal, playing some of the best football of her career, jordan nobbs was a shoe in for the world cup with england this summer. it all came crashing down for her and left her world cup dreams in tatters. you've been speaking to her and still she is really struggling to come to terms with that. ruptured her acl. a big blow for england but also a devastating blow forjordan herself. she the england vice captain and now the most experienced players and in the form of her

career suffered a freak injury. she said she heard the awful noise and knew right away that that was her world cup. she said she still emotionally try to come to terms of missing the term of the summer. just disappointment. i think you want to make yourself proud and do your best to be the best footballer and kind of being told that there's an opportunity but the risk is incredibly high in whatever you are here and you care dads voice it's difficult to tell and that's a show how world—class you are in the fact that i've had two of those opportunities taken away the tile you want to do it midterm it. the amount of support i got on the flip

side of it was absolutely incredible. you can see how emotional she is and how she's going to be missing the world cup which makes with her manager has done even more remarkable. really heart—warming in a sense. just describe for us what he has done behind the scenes to help her in her recovery. when he severed this injury you see she's inundated with m essa 9 es injury you see she's inundated with messages from current players, past players, legends of the game and past fa ns players, legends of the game and past fans and supporters. not only has he reached out to her and in co nsta nt has he reached out to her and in constant contact he also sensor a rather cool lego set to keep her entertained. it was like the london bridge, so it was a long process. i definitely have nine months of doing that but it's little things like that but it's little things like that that
