When United entered the market for a new goalkeeper, they went as far as agreeing personal terms with Emiliano Martinez, before eventually favouring youth over experience and signing Lammens from Royal Antwerp.
Martinez has since joined Chelsea, while Lammens was swiftly made the Red Devils' No.1.

ARAPAHOE, Wyo. (AP) — Every Sunday morning on the Wind River Reservation, congregants gather at Foundations for Nations Church to pray while protesters outside do the same.
The two rituals have unfolded in parallel since the Christian church's pastor, Sarah Lucas, preached a sermon condemning Arapaho ceremonial ways.
The Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes that share the reservation have made clear that Lucas is no longer welcome. Lucas, who is not Native American but owns the land under her church, says she isn't going anywhere. The standoff tests the boundaries of religious freedom and the right of a tribal nation to govern according to its own values and protocols.
The conflict stems from a video that circulated in July as Arapaho people surfaced from their weeklong sundance ceremony. In it, Lucas called that cornerstone of Arapaho spiritual life "idol worship."
"Jesus is the chain breaker. He is the only God that we should be praying to," Lucas said.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California labor leader behind a proposal to tax billionaires has been accused of harassing and intimidating several women who work for an affiliated union.
The allegations against Dave Regan, president of the SEIU United Healthcare Workers West, are detailed in an investigative report commissioned by SEIU California and obtained Friday by The ******* ociated Press. It includes interviews with several current and former SEIU members and others who say Regan tried to intimidate union leaders into supporting the billionaires' tax, which goes before voters in November.
The Los Angeles Times was the first to report on the allegations.
The report also includes allegations that Regan physically ******* aulted an SEIU leader more than 15 years ago amid a political dispute and that more recently he engaged in harassing behavior against other women who work for the organization.
Regan acknowledged using curse words with union leaders but denied the physical ******* ault allegation.

Regan Hutsell was crowned the 99th Miss America on Sept. 6, and in addition to receiving the prestigious **** le and scholarship money, the Texas native will get the keys to a New York City pad.
Mallory Hudson, the organization's Communications Manager, confirmed to Realtor.com® that this year's prize package includes access to "the Miss America apartment." The residence serves as a luxurious "home away from home" for Hutsell, who will remain based in her hometown of Houston, TX full time.

The dwelling is in the 36-story Chelsea Landmark building, which sits within the vibrant west-side neighborhood of Chelsea, and is described by the organization as "a stunning apartment residence that will serve as the NYC base for Miss America as she fulfills her national duties."
"As the role of Miss America evolves to meet the demands of modern advocacy and media, so too does the infrastructure around her," a statement explains. "We're opening doors to new partnerships, visibility, and moments that amplify our mission on a national scale."

Regan Hutsell was crowned Miss America on Sept. 6
Speaking with PEOPLE, the new queen shares that she hopes to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and promote diversity on a national stage
Hutsell also shares what legacy she wants her reign to leave as she steps into the next year of responsibilities
Miss America 2027 Regan Hutsell hopes her recent win will inspire young girls across the nation.
Hutsell was crowned on Sept. 6, making her the first Miss America to wear her natural hair while being crowned. Last week, just days before she was crowned the 99th Miss America, the then-Miss Texas **** leholder told PEOPLE about a question she had been asked during preliminary competition rounds about wearing her natural hair as a pageant contestant.
"When I first started [competing], I didn't know what I was going to do with my hair," said Hutsell. "I didn't know if I was going to straighten it, I didn't know if I was going to wear it natural. I had straightened my hair a few years ago, and it didn't bounce back. And coming to this point in my life where I decided, no, I'm going to wear it curly; I'm going to wear it as is.
Wearing her natural hair while competing throughout her pageant career had helped Hutsell redefine what beauty meant for her.

Given he had been one of United's standout performers on Merseyside, fans were perplexed to see Rashford withdrawn when the side were chasing the win.
Carrick was also put on the spot regarding his withdrawal post-match, with Sky Sports questioning whether the England international had felt some discomfort, to which Carrick verified that was indeed the case.

Manchester United made a nightmare start to the new season as promoted Hull confounded their many doubters by securing a shock 2-0 victory on their Premier League return on Saturday.
Sergej Jakirovic's play-off winners were written off by nearly every pundit before a ball was kicked, with former England international Joe Cole saying an immediate Championship return is certain, causing anger among the home fans.
Such naysayers will have been rubbing their eyes in disbelief on Saturday lunchtime as the unfancied Tigers roared to a remarkable, and thoroughly deserved, opening weekend win courtesy of a pair of first half set pieces.
Semi Ajayi opened the scoring after United failed to deal with a corner and Michael Carrick's men were again found wanting when Regan Slater sent in a free-kick for debutant ***** el Mendy to nod home.
The Red Devils boss, handed the permanent job in May, warned of a challenging start in East Yorkshire but he could not have foreseen such a meek display from his side months after finishing third.

Manchester United conceded two goals from set pieces and were beaten 2-0 by newly promoted Hull City as the 2026-27 Premier League season kicked off on Saturday.
LIVE BLOG UPDATES — Hull 2-0 Man United
Semi Ajayi and ***** el Mendy scored the goals for Hull, who made their return to the top flight for the first time since 2017.
Not the start that Michael Carrick, now in charge on a permanent basis, wanted. The Red Devils were on the front foot and played some pretty possession football to start, but Hull's set-piece specialist Regan Slater had himself a day and set up both goals before halftime. First, it was a corner kick touched on and scrambled home by Ajayi, and then a brilliant free kick to the back post for Mendy redirect it home.
Hull City were virtually unanimously chosen to finish 20th this season, a decade on from their last stint in the PL, but Sergej Jakirovic's side looked anything but a newly promoted side overawed by the occasion. It was a true five-man backline for the Tigers but everyone does their part defensively. They have a few fantastic crossers in the team (from open play and dead ***** ), Oli McBurnie is still a tough-as-nails target man, and having three big center backs on the field at all times will make them a constant threat from set pieces.

The next chapter of Missouri volleyball has already begun.
After introducing the Dawn Sullivan era in last week’s debut of First Serve, this week’s edition shifts the focus to the people responsible for writing its next chapter. Every Monday, First Serve will explore the stories shaping Missouri volleyball, and none may be more important than the players who will attempt to return the Tigers to NCAA Tournament contention.
The faces are both familiar and new.
Missouri enters Sullivan’s fourth season with one of the deepest roster transitions of her tenure. Gone are veterans Maya Sands and Janet DeMarrais, two players whose consistency helped elevate the Tigers into an SEC contender. Middle blockers Regan Haith and Tyrah Ariail graduated after anchoring Missouri’s front line, while All-SEC setter Marina Crownover departed through the transfer portal, leaving one of the largest voids on the roster.
Replacing that production will not fall on one player.

Portsmouth defender Regan Poole is not thinking about going into the new Championship season in the final year of his contract.
The 28-year-old has made 82 league appearances for Pompey, scoring four goals after joining in July 2023.
"I'm in the last year of my contract, but I play every game like it's my last anyway, and I don't think I'll be changing," Poole told BBC Radio Solent.
"I was delighted to sign my new contract when I did the season before last, and I'll be hoping to do that again, and I need to show I'm capable of performing at this level.
"I hope I've shown that, but every season is different, and hopefully I can be at this football club for a little bit longer."

And while his career touched numerous franchises, fans of the Cubs will recall that he enjoyed perhaps his greatest single campaign as a member of their favorite team.

Lauren Lappin has been by Caitlin Lowe‘s side since the former Arizona softball star took over as head coach at her alma mater. Lappin’s loyalty is being rewarded with a promotion to ***** ociate head coach that was announced on Saturday morning.
On game days, Lappin can be seen coaching third base, where television commentators regularly mistake her for Lowe. On practice days, she’s in charge of one of the most critical pieces of Arizona’s game: defense.
She has led the defense as it produced three conference defensive players of the year, including the final two of the old Pac-12. Allie Skaggs was crowned the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 after completing a season with a perfect fielding percentage at second base. The Pac-12 gave the honor to shortstop Tayler Biehl in 2024. In 2026, centerfielder Regan Shockey picked up the award in the Big 12.
The Wildcats also had three straight seasons with a Gold Glove winner under Lappin’s guidance. Skaggs won in 2023. Dakota Kennedy got the nod in 2024. Devyn Netz, who was a star in the circle and at first base, received a Gold Glove honor in 2025.
The former All-American at Stanford helped the Wildcats set a program record for double plays in a season in 2026. The team led Division I with 46 double plays in 55 games. The next closest was South Florida, which had five fewer double plays in five more games than the Wildcats.

As the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other stock indexes headed in different directions during Tuesday's session, Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Energy Industries (AEIS), ****** mins (CMI) and GE Vernova (GEV) were among names to watch.
With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite pulling back, traders who use Investor's Business Daily's IBD Methodology have the flexibility to buy top-rated growth stocks while reducing risk by selling any stocks that have triggered sell signals.
Dow component Nvidia tumbled below its 50-day moving average during Tuesday's 3% slide, according to IBD MarketSurge chart ****** ysis. That's a key area to watch. A decisive rebound back above that level would place the artificial intelligence leader in a new buying range, while more weakness would be a reason to exit the stock from a previous breakout at 197.63.
Meanwhile, Nvidia stock could have a base in another week, likely a double-bottom pattern with a 232.28 buy point, but that seems unlikely now with shares near their recent lows.
Nvidia stock backstory: On Tuesday, Daniel O'Regan, managing director of equity trading at Mizuho Securities, said chip stocks were due for a pullback after rising "too far, too fast."
With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite pulling back, traders who use Investor's Business Daily's IBD Methodology have the flexibility to buy top-rated growth stocks while reducing risk by selling any stocks that have triggered sell signals.
Dow component Nvidia tumbled below its 50-day moving average during Tuesday's 3% slide, according to IBD MarketSurge chart ****** ysis. That's a key area to watch. A decisive rebound back above that level would place the artificial intelligence leader in a new buying range, while more weakness would be a reason to exit the stock from a previous breakout at 197.63.

Sam Wallace reports for The Telegraph that ******* nal’s initial bid to sign Jeremy Monga from Leicester City has been rejected, with the Gunners placing the offer on Thursday.
Wallace writes that Leicester will ultimately be forced to sell Monga, given their relegation to League One and their need to remain complaint with EFL cost controls.
As a result, it’s expected that the two clubs will eventually reach an agreement on a fee. But they haven’t reached that agreement just yet.

Jun. 4—ABERDEEN — Eighth-seeded Elk Point-Jefferson knocked off No. 1 Madison on Thursday in the Class A state high school softball quarterfinals by a score of 3-1 at the Players Softball Complex.
EPJ (10-6) will play West Central in Friday's state semifinal round at 2 p.m. The game was a rematch of a May 19 game in Elk Point, which Madison won 11-10. This time, the lower-scoring showdown was in the Huskies' favor, neutralizing a Madison offense that averaged 12.7 runs per game entering the state tournament.
EPJ took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when Molly Geary scored from second base on a Bailey Johnson ground ball that Madison fumbled for an error. The Bulldogs got the run back in the bottom half of the frame when Kelcie Dudley had an RBI single.
The Huskies took the lead for good in the top of the third inning, with Cera Schmitz picking up a two-out RBI single to score Geary for a 2-1 lead. After a fielder's choice that didn't end the inning and a walk, Schmitz was able to score on a passed ball to give EPJ a 3-1 lead.
The Huskies' Regan Rasmussen started in the circle and kept the Madison offense in check, allowing three hits and one unearned run with seven strikeouts and one walk for the win. Schmitz finished with two of EPJ's three hits, including a triple, and Rasmussen added a single.
