The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

Manchester United finalizes €60 million deal for PSG midfielder.

Manchester United have signed long-term midfield target Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Uruguayan has been a primary priority for the Red Devils all summer, but a transfer could not be made until they agreed to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli.

United would allegedly pay an initial cost of €50 million for Ugarte, with PSG set to earn a further €10 million through add-ons.

He signed a contract at Old Trafford until June 2029, but he was not registered in time to make his debut against Liverpool this weekend.

"It is an incredible feeling to join a club of this magnitude; one that is admired all around the world," remarked Ugarte as he moved. "The project that the football leadership has discussed with me is very exciting; Manchester United is an ambitious club, and I am an ambitious player."

"The passion of supporters is very important to me; I know how amazing United fans are, and I can't wait to visit Old Trafford."

"I'm a person who is driven to succeed; I'll go above and beyond for my teammates. Together, we will battle to win trophies and raise this club to the level it deserves."

The 23-year-old leaves the Parc des Princes just one year after joining from Sporting CP, with PSG breaking even on the transaction after paying €60 million to buy him last summer.

Ugarte has also earned 22 caps for his country.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
