this has been a dark and dismal day for him and manchester united football club.to know this would be his last game in charge. a club legend like ole gunar solskjaer could have been forgiven for losing 4—1 to watford but after is only so many other disappointing results the patients and the fans had been pushed to their limits. the boys are in a terrible place in their heads right now. of course they are disappointed. they've let themselves down, we have let ourselves down. and the fans down. it's hard to stand there and explain that but that's football. anyway, we have to take the flak for it. the manner in which they lost left even the players bemused. it was embarrassing for me, to be honest. it is unacceptable for this club, the level of players that we have. so it is another nightmare. it prompted crisis talks with club owners, the glazerfamily, and manchester united fans woke up to the news that their manager had gone. finally. finally, ole out. i think it was always going to happen. he started off well. at the start and then obviously the last seven - of ga

manchester united managed to cling on to a point at stamford bridge as they held leaders chelsea to a—1 draw. jadon sancho on the scoresheet with his first premier league goal — a result that will be welcomed by many united fans given their recent run of form in the premier league. austin halewood reports. after a difficult few weeks for manchester united, chelsea were playing some of the best football around now and they quickly burst out of the blocks. callum hudson—odoi, clear through on goal. the goalkeeper saving united's blushes. it is not the first time we have seen that the season. next, it was only the woodwork that kept it level. a rocket of a shot that almost dipped into the net. although ralf rangnick is expected to take over at old trafford soon, for now michael carrick is making the calls. the biggest of them — to bench cristiano ronaldo. as it happened they didn't need them, jayden sanchez was clean through and with their first proper attack, manchester united were ahead. delight for michael carrick. it wouldn't last too long, and misplaced kick and penalty. the chance

the mood around manchester not helped as rivals manchester city beat everton. second, three points behind chelsea. tottenham manager antonio conte banned ketchup at the club's training ground to get his players fitter. sergio reguillon was the fastest to respond here, grabbing the winner as spurs came from behind to beat leeds 2—1. antonio conte with his first win since taking over, which he enjoyed. rangers started life without steven gerrard with a league cup semi—final defeat to hibernian. martin boyle scored a hat—trick for hibs as they won 3—1. they'll now play celtic in the final in december. meanwhile, rangers new boss giovanni van bronckhorst is expected to take charge of training today. women's super league leaders arsenal's sensational start to the season continued. they beat manchester united 2—0. vivianne miedema amongst the goals — she already has 13 this season. there were also wins for chelsea, everton, west ham and reading. lewis hamilton isn't going down without a fight in this season's formula one championship. just a few weeks ago, he was 19

this could turn into something for manchester united.se to equalising but had to wait until late on to eventually find the net. a mix—up at the back, the goalkeeper thought she had her hands on the ball only for simone magill to poke at home, a mistake costing united the win as both teams settled for a draw. city started the season poorly and the start of this game was indicative of that form. less than two minutes and disaster struck asjesse fleming was gifted the ball and she wasn't going to miss from there. city's poor defending became a theme, chelsea eventually scoring four. they are one point behind leaders arsenal and city are languishing towards the bottom of the table. so confirmation of those results then — and also, a derby day win for aston villa, who beat birmingham city 1—0. anita asante's goal the difference there. brighton beat leicester by the same margin. and reading came from two goals down, to finish level 2—2 with west ham. 19—year—old emma harries with a stoppage time equaliser for them. england need just a point fr

there is going to be no new northern powerhouse rail line between leeds and manchester, although thatourney will get quicker, the government emphasises. as far as hs2 is concerned, the bit between crewe and manchester will happen, the bit between birmingham and the east midlands will happen. we already know they are building the bit between london and birmingham. and then there will be this new northern powerhouse rail line between warrington, where i happened to be earlier on, manchester and marsden in west yorkshire. the government making the argument that it's cracking on with stuff quicker and more cheaply, but plenty of people saying it's a sell—out and plenty of people in the north of england reckoning they are not getting what they hoped to get. shall we hear from somebody in the north of england? yeah, one of those people who's a little bit annoyed is the labour mayor of west yorkshire, tracy brabin. it is a betrayal of the north and it's a betrayal of the people i represent in west yorkshire. only what feels like months ago, the prime minister stood in front of stevenson's ro

we've seen this whole flurry of newspaper front pages in the north of england, the manchester eveningorkshire post, the northern echo and others, all saying that this is an absolute sell—out, and yet the government confronts itself with a situation where they are spending shedloads of money on a big, long—term project and still getting hammered for saying it's not enough because it doesn't match up with what they were originally saying they would do. although we have to be careful about the money, because there is a headline figure of £96 billion, which is shed loads of money to invest in something in this country, over a long period, admittedly. actually, quite a lot of those billions are things that were being spent already on the bits of hs2 that are going to go ahead, so there's a little asterisk next to that 96 billion. the other asterisk against kind of the new tory voters is, remember, there were constituencies that this bit of hs2 were going to go through that weren't going to have any train stations in them... but would get the downsides. exactly. so there will be new tory vo
