welcome along. thank you forjoining us. we start with some brutally honest words from the manchester united manager ruben amorim, who's labelled his team "maybe the worst" in the history of the club. it follows their 3—1 premier league defeat at home to brighton — their fourth loss in five at old trafford and the tenth game they've lost in total so far this season. a disastrous mistake from united keeper andre onana allowed brighton's georginio rutter to round off the win for the visitors. it leaves united 13th in the table within ten points of the bottom three. amorim insists he's going to keep his 3—4—3 formation, despite admitting his players are struggling to adapt.

i'm not going to change, no matter what, and i know we can succeed but we need to survive this moment because i'm not naive and i know that we need to survive now, so we are being the worst team may be in the history of manchester united and i know that you want headlines but i am seeing that because i saying that because we have to acknowledge that and to change that. i'm very happy and proud for the team _ i'm very happy and proud for the team because they showed commitment this week, they had a tough _ commitment this week, they had a tough period where they showed _ a tough period where they showed great performances but did not— showed great performances but did not get the result what they— did not get the result what they deserve and today, they completely get what they deserve. they worked hard, they did the _ deserve. they worked hard, they did the details right, the small_ did the details right, the small margins to win a game here, _ small margins to win a game here, and_ small margins to win a game here, and therefore i'm really proud — here, and therefore i'm really proud and _ here, and therefore i'm really proud and happy for them. before the game at old trafford, tributes were paid to former united striker denis law, who died on friday. a piper led the teams out and legends sir alex ferguson,

their fourth loss in five at old trafford. the tenth time they've lost in total so far this season. more reactions on the bbc sport website. that's all from me and the team. goodbye. hello. most eyes may be on the us for the presidential inauguration on monday but for us weatherfolk, it's the atmosphere that's caught the attention. a surge of bitterly cold arctic air all the way to the gulf of mexico and florida clashing with warmer atlantic and gulf of mexico air to fire up an exceptionally strong jet stream. really quick transatlantic flights expected this week but we are also breaking down the weather patterns and firing
2:56 am
deep and stormy areas of low pressure towards the environment around the uk. so, there is that potential we could start to enter a stormier period later this week. more rain around, some snow in the hills and the potential for some impactful winds, too. so, that's really from thursday onwards. to begin with over the next few days, we've got barely a breeze. not a huge amount of change. weatherfronts, though, early on monday across scotland, northern ireland bringing patchy rain and that quickly spreads in across northern england, north wales, and later to the north midlands and lincolnshire. spots of rain and drizzle here, maybe a bit damp towards the southwest, too. scotland, northern ireland brighten up. if you get any brightness, though, across the south, you'll be lucky after a cold, frosty and, in places, foggy start. still plenty of cloud around and one or two spots struggling to get above freezing — although western scotland, northern ireland, up to around 10 degrees. a few showers here as you go through monday night. still a weather front stranded through parts of northern england, north and west wales, with some damp and drizzly weather at times. to the south of it, a few cloud breaks could give some frost but also some patches of fog and a frost still possible to the northeast of scotland. now, for tuesday, sunny spells for scotland, northern ireland. a few showers, although southern scotland linked
2:57 am
into this weather system that's still across northern england, north and west wales with occasional rain. south and east of that, we'll see some sunny spells just about break through. there could be some lingering fog patches but overall, still a fairly cool day. weather patterns do look fairly static, though, tuesday into wednesday, but notice this deep area of low pressure across iberia — some pretty unpleasant conditions in portugal over the next few days — and a finger of that could just extend towards the southeast in the channel islands into wednesday, bringing some longer spells of rain. other than that, still a weather front across northern england. another damp day here and more cloud with a greater risk of fog across scotland and northern ireland. but it's after that things start to turn increasingly stormy. wet and windy for many on thursday but the worst of the winds, certainly, on friday. take care.
