But we start with football, and Memphis Depay's two goals has put Manchester United in the driving seat of their Champions League playoff against the Belgian side Club Brugge. United will take a 3-1 lead into next week's second leg in Belgium. The BBC's John Murray was watching at Old Trafford.
"So Manchester United have a clear lead to take the Belgian but only just. And it was provided by a goal from Belgian International Marouane Fellaini glancing in a header from a Memphis cross right at the end. Memphis Depay had provided the big plus for United with two very well taken goals in the first half, while Wayne Rooney is still waiting to get off the mark for the new season and was substituted. Against an injury-hit Brugge, United did lay back at times, were shocked to fall behind to an early Carrick own goal. And it was only after central defender Mechele was sent off that they were able to conjure up their very late third goal." |
