Man United 'could be forced to sign another goalkeeper' after Andre Onana 'suffered injury that means he could miss start of season'
Manchester United could be forced to dip into the transfer market to sign a goalkeeper after Andre Onana suffered a hamstring injury, according to a report. The Cameroon international had been set to start the season as the Red Devils' No 1 but has reportedly picked up the issue that could rule him out of the start of the season. Though Onana has had a mixed time of it at United, the news comes as a blow to the Red Devils, who had been focused on trying to improve their attacking ranks this summer. Matheus Cunha had already joined from Wolves for £62.5million, and Bryan Mbeumo has agreed personal terms, with Brenford pushing for £65million. More to follow.

Lions centre Ringrose ruled out of first Australia test, Cowan-Dickie a doubt
July 12 (Reuters) - Centre Garry Ringrose has been ruled out of the British & Irish Lions' series-opening test against Australia after failing a concussion test, while hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie is a doubt after a head-knock in the big win over AUNZ on Saturday. Ireland midfielder Ringrose, who scored a try in the 36-24 win over the ACT Brumbies on Wednesday, was replaced by Huw Jones in the Lions team that thumped the Australia-New Zealand invitational side 48-0 at Adelaide Oval. "Garry again had a concussion from last week, lingering signs of concussion so he had a headache and unfortunately he failed that," head coach Andy Farrell told Sky. "That's very sad for Garry but he'll be back within the rest of the series very shortly so that's just the way the game goes." Centre/fullback Jamie Osborne was called up to the squad as additional training cover during the week. Cowan-Dickie came off second-best in a tackle against big lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto before half-time at Adelaide Oval and was carted off the ground. Farrell said the England hooker was in good spirits but it looked like he had also suffered concussion and another player might need to be brought into the squad. "He got up straight away as he got off the stretcher and he's back to being his normal self," added Farrell. "It's unfortunate for him... so we'll see what has to happen on the back of that." England hooker Jamie George may be among the first in line for a call-up to cover Cowan-Dickie's injury. Farrell's son Owen, the former England captain, did his chances of selection for the three-match series against the Wallabies no harm with a solid outing against AUNZ after coming off the bench early in the second half to replace Jones. Farrell had a hand in three of the Lions' five second-half tries and attacked the AUNZ line with vigour. It was by far the Lions' sharpest performance of the tour and a big improvement after their laboured win over the Brumbies. They racked up three tries in the opening 21 minutes and defended well to shut out opponents featuring 14 test players. "I thought it was a good professional performance," said Andy Farrell. "I suppose when you play these type of games, the type of personnel that you're coming up against, all sorts of things can happen. "But I thought we played a nice, controlled game of rugby and didn't really let them in the game or get the confidence going."

No Miller for Motherwell - Saturday's Scottish League Cup updates
Update: Date: 14:12 BST Title: Quirks of current competition Content: Scottish League Cup As usual, Scotland's European representatives are not involved in the League Cup until the last 16 stage. But other 40 teams start the journey to Hampden in eight groups of five, with the winners and three best runners-up joining Aberdeen, holders Celtic, Dundee United, Hibernian and Rangers in the knockout stage. Remember that one of the quirks of this competition is what happens if there is a draw after 90 minutes. There's no extra time, with each side taking a point, but there is a bonus point available to the winners of a penalty shootout. Read more. Update: Date: 14:09 BST Title: Glorified pre-season? Content: Scottish League Cup Some managers have complained that the League Cup has been undermined because the competition's early start means they have yet to complete their summer transfer activity. Others say they prefer an early start to competitive games to pre-season friendlies. Today's line-ups could be an indication of how seriously some are taking the competition. But Premier Sports extending its deal with Scottish Professional Football League organisers to broadcast the League Cup until 2031 shows it is certainly seeing the competition's value.
