good evening. the former tottenham hotspur manager, mauricio pochettino, is tonight the leading contender to take over as manager of manchester united, following the departure of ole gunnar solskjaer. it's not thought the club has made an approach, but pochettino is understood to be open to taking the job now. it's thought he's not completely happy with the setup at his current club, paris saint—germain. he's essentially first—team coach there under sporting director leonardo. pochettino has been at ps6 for ten months, and they sit 11 points clear at the top of the league after 1a games. it's the manchester united players who are the ones taking responsibility for solskjaer�*s exit at the club — that's according to united captain, harry maguire. he was speaking earlier alongside michael carrick, who's been put in charge of the team for now as a temporary head coach. saturday's 4—1 loss to watford,

their fifth defeat in seven league matches, proved to be the final straw for the united hierarchy, coming as it did on the back of a poor run. the result left united eighth in the premier league, 12 points off leaders chelsea — and prompted the club to part company with solskjaer. but maguire says the players are to blame. we have not been good enough, we know that individually, collectively, as a team, as players. we know that, we spoke about that, and now we've got to look forward and make sure we get this club back to where it was in the last two years, and honestly, the last few months have nowhere near good enough, and like i said, the players have a huge responsibility for that as well. united did approach the former real madrid boss, zinedine zidane, about the job, but sources say he's not interested at this stage. he ended his second spell as real manager in may this year, and he's apparently keen on exploring other options, including the french national side, and interestingly psg, which could have an impact

on united's decision. england manager gareth southgate says he has big plans for the long—term development of the squad after signing a two—year extension to his contract, keeping him in charge until december 202a. southgate guided england to the final of the euros this summer after a semi final run at the 2018 world cup, and they've already qualified for next years edition in qatar. for next year's edition in qatar. southgate took over in 2016, and the new deal means he'll oversee qualification for euro 202a. the last five years have been an incredible experience and we're really pleased with the progress of the team. we feel there's still room for that team to develop, improve. i think everybody has seen what's possible with the existing squad and some of the younger players that are coming through our age—group teams as well. mark cavendish says he is overwhelmed by the messages of support he has received following a bad crash at the weekend. the isle of man rider

suffered two broken ribs and a partially—collapsed lung in a crash at the ghent six day race on sunday. he spent the night in hospital and this evening took to twitter to thank people for their well wishes. he added he was in "a bit of pain", but that "a couple of nights" in the hospital "should sort me out". his team, deceuninck-quick—step, expect him to be discharged by tomorrow morning. the five—time grand slam singles champion alfie hewett says he's thrilled after being told he will be able to continue his wheelchair tennis career. hewett had previously been told new classification rules would make him ineligible. the 23—year—old, who has a hip disorder, was re—assessed and eventually told he did meet the criteria to play on. just clarity, i think, _ is the big word to sum up the last two and a half years, - not knowing what's around the corner and that's been sleeping out of my hands, j but to be told the news, i it's excitement and relief

and really, i'm more motivated - than i probably have been in along while to go and pressure on and do well in australia and do well - for the years coming up. the women's tennis association say that they still have concerns over the well—being of peng shuai, despite the international olympic committee saying that she appears to be safe and well following a video call between the ioc president, thomas bach, and the tennis star on sunday. the 35—year—old disappeared from the public eye for almost three weeks after she made sexual assault allegations against a senior chinese minister. amnesty international has criticised the ioc for their involvement. they should be extremely careful not to participate in any whitewash of possible human rights violations. in the past, we have seen various

similar cases where people had no option but to say what they had been told to. the ioc and peng shuai is hardly conviction that peng shuai has full and genuine freedom of expression, liberty, security. yorkshire county cricket club have announced 36 people have contacted a whistle—blowing hotline in its first week.. in its first week. the hotline opened last monday to encourage victims of discrimination at the club to come forward. it followed the claims of racism levelled at yorkshire by former player azeem rafiq. an independent panel has also been set up by the county to review the complaints. the former ireland rugby captain, and two—time british and irish lion ray mcloughlin has died aged 82. he passed away on saturday following a long illness. playing as a prop—forward, mcloughlin won lio caps for ireland between 1962 and 1975, a record at the time, and captained the side eight times.

and that's all the sport for now. from me, market words, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. —— mark edwards. good evening. it's been a chilly day for all of us, and a bright day for most with some good spells of sunshine. however, the satellite and radar picture shows that we had showers grazing the southeast of england, affecting the channel islands too, and more of this cloud spinning down across scotland and northern ireland — that will become increasingly widespread through tonight, getting into parts of northern england, north wales, the odd spot of rain. but, underneath these cloudy skies, it won't be as cold as it was last night — six celsius in glasgow, seven in belfast, for example. but temperatures will drop below freezing where skies remain clear, through the midlands, wales, southern england, parts of east wales and the midlands could see some dense fog tomorrow morning, as well. the best of the sunshine, though, tomorrow will be found across the south of the uk with more cloud further north, the odd spot of rain or drizzle — but arguably a slightly less cold

feel with highs of 9—10 celsius. that won't last though, it will turn colder again from midweek onwards. and for friday, very unsettled with some strong winds, showers of rain, sleet and snow.
