Ruben Amorim has revealed he will “forget” an interview in which Marcus Rashford suggested he wanted to leave Manchester United, as the manager will “focus on improving Marcus”. Amorim caused a splash when he left Rashford out of the squad for the Manchester derby in December. The forward had been benched for a couple of games previous, but featured late on in those games. After being sat out of the 2-1 win against City, Rashford did an interview in which he said he was ready for a new challenge. He was left out of the United squad for the next two games, and in the meantime, there have been lots of reports stating he’ll be sold, loaned or look for a way out, with a lot of clubs linked with his signature. But Amorim has maintained if he does the right things, he can get back into his side, and the United manager has now suggested he’ll look past the interview in the hopes of helping Rashford to improve as a player. “It is a hard situation. I understand that these players have a lot of people around them, making choices that are not the first idea from the player,” he told Sky Sports . “I am always here to help Marcus as another player. I have to do what I have to do. They chose to do the interview as it is not just Marcus. I understand that. “As a coach I focus on performance and the way you train. The rest, it is better for me and the club to deal with that when the time comes. “At the moment I focus on improving Marcus and we need a talented guy like Marcus. I forget the interview now and see what I see on the pitch.” MORE ON MAN UTD FROM F365: 👉 Man Utd lucky to have only one clown in worst Premier League XI of weekend 👉 Owen slams ‘stupid’ Man Utd star in Bournemouth loss as he urges Amorim to get ‘brutal’ 👉 Man Utd swap deal given ‘OK’ with Old Trafford seen as ‘perfect destination’ for ex-Brighton star Whether he will be included in squads going forward will seemingly still depend on if he shows the right attitude, but Amorim will return the favour if that does happen.

The turnover around midfield meant a field goal attempt was in play. Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott orchestrated a quick drive to the UM 32-yard line with four seconds remaining. As Sansted set up on the right hash, the Grizzlies called a timeout. MSU reserve QB and holder Patrick Duchien cracked jokes to ease the tension. Sansted — who took UM’s aggressiveness as a lack of belief in MSU’s placekicking operation — was fired up. He trusted his process, relying on the personal affirmations he repeats on the sideline. He trusted Tommy Sullivan on the snap, Duchien on the hold and his blockers up front. Sansted didn’t go for “a bigger swing” on the 49-yard attempt, he said, instead making contact as he had all season. Not only was it a new personal best for Sansted, but the make put the Bobcats up three scores at the break en route to . Myles Sansted connects from 4⃣9⃣! 🎯 | Sansted remembered being on the sideline for the 2023 edition of the Brawl of the Wild, a 37-7 MSU loss in Missoula. All the Alexandria, Minnesota, native could do at the time was watch. In 2024, Sansted made his own impact. “To do it for all the Montana guys on the team (was great), but also we’re all Montanans now. We’re all Bobcats,” Sansted said. “It was really just a dream come true.” Just a week before, Sansted had come up inches short on a 47-yard FG attempt at UC Davis, with the ball bouncing off the crossbar. A week later, Sansted nailed a 49-yarder with room to spare. Maybe it was the elevation, the wind or extra “juice,” said MSU special teams quality control coach Marcus Monaco. Regardless of external factors, Sansted didn’t change his approach. “Being able to execute at halftime, two-minute drill, that was really impressive in a really big moment,” Monaco said. Consistency was an issue for MSU’s placekicking unit throughout the 2023 season, with the Bobcats missing a combined nine FGs and six point-after attempts between Brendan Hall and Casey Kautzman. The season ended on a blocked PAT in to North Dakota State. After , along with an injury to Kautzman, MSU turned to Sansted. The Bobcats found that stability they were looking for in Sansted, a walk-on in his second stint with the team. He's made 62 of 64 PATs and 12 of 16 FGs, good for the second-most points of any player in the Big Sky Conference (98), only behind UC Davis running back Lan Larison (122). “He’s filled a void from a consistency perspective that we didn’t have last year and we’ll continue to need as these games get bigger and bigger,” said MSU head coach Brent Vigen. “So I’m very pleased with what he’s been able to do and I don’t know if I would have seen this coming when he chose to come to Montana State a few years back.” Montana State kicker Myles Sansted kicks an extra point attempt during a game against Sacramento State on Nov. 9 at Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman. Sansted, who is also Vigen’s nephew, was a four-sport athlete at Alexandria High School, competing in basketball, soccer, track and field and as a kicker on the football team. He got a taste of playing in big games, such as the boys basketball Class 3A state championship game as a junior in 2021. Alexandria lost 80-29 to Minnehaha Academy, which was led by future Gonzaga and Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren. Sansted noted how tight-knit his team was, something he didn’t think he’d find again until he joined the Bobcats. Sansted didn’t make much of an effort to play sports at the next level. A few offers from Division III schools in Minnesota came in, but he narrowed it down to MSU and Kansas. He ultimately chose MSU after receiving some scholarship money and the chance to be close to family. Sansted — whose mother is the twin sister of Brent Vigen’s wife, Molly — said his family has been “super supportive” since day one in Bozeman. “(My cousins) Jake and Grant and Luke (Vigen), they’re also Bobcat fans and so they’re cheering for me,” Sansted added. “So it’s been super cool to kind of get to go through all that together.” Sansted also knew wherever he went to college he would try to walk on as a kicker. He first joined the Bobcats in spring 2023, shortly after then-starting kicker Blake Glessner transferred to UCLA. He worked through the summer and got two weeks in fall camp before being told he wouldn’t make that year’s roster. The Bobcats had added Hall through the transfer portal along with Kautzman as a walk-on. Sansted returned for one last shot in spring 2024. He injured his quad on the second day of spring ball, but got in three practices and appeared in the Sonny Holland Classic, making three PATs. He continued to compete for playing time alongside Kautzman, Hall and two kickers the Bobcats brought in during fall camp. Sansted said each kicker supported each other because “we all want what’s best for Montana State.” Monaco added that it was important to replicate game scenarios as much as possible and keep everyone healthy. Montana State’s Myles Sansted practices kicks on the sidelines during a game against Mercyhurst on Sept. 21 at Bobcat Stadium. “We needed to understand how we were going to be able to operate in stressful situations, knowing that we had a good shot to be pretty good this year and knowing that he’s going to be in some (high-pressure) situations,” Monaco said. Sansted got the starting job and Hall focused on punting and kickoffs. Duchien — who was also battling for reps at QB — was named the first-string holder. Sansted said Duchien has been “so money” all season and added that Sullivan, who has started 50-plus games at long snapper, has been a rock. “Tommy makes my job pretty easy,” Duchien added. “He gets to me every time, laces are usually already out by the time I’m catching the ball. It’s a pretty cool job and I enjoy working with those guys.” There was still a level of uncertainty heading into the season opener at New Mexico. Duchien remembered talking with Sansted on the sideline about a potential game-tying field goal and noticed how Sansted was “really nervous” about kicking in high winds. That didn’t come to pass, with MSU . In his first game, Sansted went 5 for 5 on PATs. That consistency carried throughout the regular season, with Sansted missing two PATs and four FGs. Monaco said those misses can partly be chalked up to Sansted being hyped up after a big play. One example was a blocked PAT after wide receiver Taco Dowler’s 79-yard punt return TD against Davis. “It could be a one-play drive,” Monaco said. “We’ve had multiple of those this year where it’s been a really big explosive, and we've got to be ready to go out there and (execute).” Sansted said he’s worked with counselor John Shirkey, as well as utilizing prayer and his personal affirmations to bounce back from a missed or blocked kick. He’s implemented a one kick-at-a-time mindset. “Also the guys are super supportive,” Sansted said, adding, “You know they got your back, and that’s a huge motivator to (be like), ‘Hey, I got the next one.’” Montana State kicker Myles Sansted lines up a field goal attempt in the second half against Idaho on Oct. 12 at Bobcat Stadium. Vigen said Sansted has only mis-hit a few balls this season and has otherwise been consistent in all 12 games. That’s been achieved through Sansted’s mentality and how the Bobcats approach practices. MSU hasn’t over-extended reps, Monaco said, because fatigue can play a role. The additions of the new scoreboard and the indoor practice facility have changed the direction of the wind in Bobcat Stadium. The group has also focused on executing in inclement weather and high-pressure situations. The most important thing, Monaco said, is sticking to the same process each time out. “That kick’s got no chance if we don’t give it a chance,” Monaco added. “So we got to be able to go out and give it the best opportunity to go that we can.” Sansted, who approaches each kick the same, has connected on long-range kicks several times. That includes a 44-yarder at Idaho State, a 45-yarder at Portland State and the 49-yarder at Cat-Griz. Since the season opener, Duchien has noticed Sansted growing in confidence. “Now I can kind of see on the sideline he’s ready to go,” Duchien said, adding, “He wants to go out there and kick these big kicks.” Montana State's Myles Sansted makes a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter against Idaho State on Sept. 28 at the ICCU Dome in Pocatello, Idaho. Around the time of the Eastern Washington game on Nov. 2, Sansted felt a shift in how much his coaches relied on him. He said the faith of Vigen, Monaco and special teams coordinator/WRs coach Justin Udy has propelled him in his first season. “That can’t just be built at one point,” Sansted added. “It’s built time over time again, rep over rep in practice and in games.” Monaco has seen Sansted mature all season, now “knowing that he belongs” on a national title contender. Vigen pointed to how MSU’s offense wants to be aggressive around midfield, but can rely on Sansted to come through in key situations as well. While it hasn’t been a linear journey, Sansted said he “wouldn’t trade it for the world.” “Not being on the team for two seasons and being able to do this with this group, I wouldn’t change anything,” Sansted said. “I think it made me stronger mentally, especially, and just going through it each and every day. It’s been super rewarding.” Braden Shaw can be reached at or 406-582-2690. Follow him on Twitter @ByBradenShaw Get local news delivered to your inbox!

Squid Game season 2 trailer teases brutal new games and a whole new group of people to endure them

College football bowl action continues on Monday with the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, featuring the Northern Illinois Huskies facing off against the Fresno State Bulldogs . The Huskies , showing remarkable resilience, are making their third bowl appearance in four seasons following a 7-5 season that included a stunning upset against Notre Dame early in the year. Despite the departure of starting quarterback Ethan Hampton and several key players to the transfer portal, the Huskies are ready to face the Bulldogs, with freshman Josh Holst stepping up to lead the offense. The Bulldogs, have their own quarterback situation, with starter Mikey Keene 's decision to enter the transfer portal. Their season, though not ideal, saw them finish with a 6-6 record and secure fourth place in the Mountain West Conference. Here's everything you need to know ahead of today's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, including predictions, odds and how to watch the game: OPINION: If college football coaches want transfer portal fix, how about ditching spring practice? Idaho Potato Bowl predictions: Northern Illinois vs. Fresno State USA TODAY : Writes are split ESPN : Northern Illinois 19, Fresno State 14 Adam Rittenberg writes: "Last year, I picked against a Tim Skipper-led Fresno State team in a bowl game and paid the price, as the Bulldogs pounded New Mexico State. Skipper will coach Fresno State for the final time before Matt Entz takes over. Fresno State takes on a Northern Illinois team with a signature win over Notre Dame, as well as three wins in its final four regular-season games. Both teams are dealing with significant portal entries, which include quarterbacks Mikey Keene (Fresno State) and Ethan Hampton (NIU), and several Fresno State wide receivers. Expect a defense-driven game that comes down to the end, but Fresno State's personnel losses are too much to overcome." College Football News : Northern Illinois 23, Fresno State 17 Pete Fiutak writes: "If all things were even this would be Fresno State’s game, but its lost parts are bigger than NIU’s. Again, the idea here is for the Huskies to run and keep running. Fresno State, even with its backups, should be good enough to pull this off with a few breaks, but it just doesn’t run well enough to pull this off. Time of possession here will mean everything. Northern Illinois needs to have the ball for almost 35 minutes, and it will."

A federal appeals court upheld a ruling Tuesday that allows a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member to play in this week’s Mountain West Conference tournament after a legal complaint said she should be ineligible on grounds that she is transgender and thus stronger, posing a safety risk to teammates and opponents. A two-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with U.S. Magistrate S. Kato Crews in Denver. On Monday he rejected the request for an emergency injunction, finding the players and others who challenged the league’s policy of allowing transgender athletes to participate should have filed the complaint earlier. The tournament starts Wednesday in Las Vegas, but top-seeded Colorado State and second-seeded San Jose State have byes into Friday’s semifinal matches. Judge Crews and the 10th Circuit noted the request for the emergency injunction was filed in mid-November, less than two weeks before the tournament was scheduled to start. The complaint could have been made weeks earlier, both courts said. The first conference forfeit happened Sept. 28. All the schools that canceled games against San Jose State acknowledged at the time that they would take a league loss, Crews noted. The players and others who sued are disappointed that the appeals court found it would be “too disruptive” to enter an injunction the day before the tournament is scheduled to start, said William Bock III, an attorney for the plaintiffs. The appeals court said the plaintiffs' "claims appear to present a substantial question and may have merit,” but they have not made a clear case for emergency relief. “Plaintiffs look forward to ultimately receiving justice in this case when they prove these legal violations in court and to the day when men are no longer allowed to harm women and wreak havoc in women’s sport," Bock said in a statement. The athlete has played for San Jose State since 2022, but her participation only became an issue this season. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player has also been in effect since 2022, the conference said. Injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo, Judge Crews said, and her playing is the status quo. The motions for an injunction also asked that the four teams that had conference losses for refusing to play against San Jose State during the regular season have those losses removed from their records and that the tournament be re-seeded based on the updated records. Crews denied that motion and the 10th Circuit did not address it. Neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans woman volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not commented publicly on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Crews’ ruling referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender” player and noted that no defendant disputed that the San Jose State roster includes a transgender woman player. San Jose State “maintains an unwavering commitment to the participation, safety and privacy of all students at San Jose State and ensuring they are able to compete in an inclusive, fair and respectful environment,” Athletics Director Jeff Konya told students Tuesday. He praised the resilience student-athletes, the athletic department and staff have shown while the court challenges played out over the past nearly two weeks. “The fact that they have come to this point of the season as a team standing together on the volleyball court is a testament to their strength and passion for their sport,” Konya said. The conference said Monday it was “satisfied” with the judge’s decision and would continue upholding policies established by its board of directors, which “directly align with NCAA and USA Volleyball.” An NCAA policy that subjects transgender participation to the rules of sports governing bodies took effect this academic year. USA Volleyball says a trans woman must suppress testosterone for 12 months before competing. The NCAA has not flagged any issues with San Jose State. In Friday's semifinals, San Jose State is scheduled to play the winner of Wednesday’s match between Utah State and Boise State — teams that forfeited matches to San Jose State during the regular season. Boise State associate athletic director Chris Kutz declined to comment Monday on whether the Broncos would play San Jose State if they won their first-round tournament game. Utah State associate athletic director Doug Hoffman said the university is reviewing the order and the team is preparing for Wednesday’s match. Wyoming and Utah State also forfeited matches against San Jose State. Some athletic associations, Republican legislatures and school districts have sought in recent years to restrict the ability of transgender athletes, in particular transgender girls and women, to compete in line with their gender identity. The Republican governors of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming have made public statements in support of the team cancellations, citing fairness in women’s sports. President-elect Donald Trump likewise has spoken out against allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports.Payman launches attack on Hanson

At the McLaren Technology Center (MTC), located in Woking, England, the company explained how it's using AI to improve its chances on the Formula One track. "We're an organization that's used traditional machine learning tech products for a long time," Dan Keyworth, McLaren's director of business technology, said in a press briefing at the MTC in October. Using machine learning, McLaren is able to base its decision-making on probability, which in turn helps it train its AI models, according to Keyworth. The racing firm showed off numerous examples of technological innovation at the MTC. They range from real-time data monitoring inside its secretive mission control room, to the use of "digital twins" (3D digital versions of physical objects) of real cars that allow teams to model the conditions that actual vehicles will need to perform in. Keyworth said there are three main areas where McLaren is applying AI in a big way: improving car performance, day-to-day operations, and commercialization. He added that generative AI tools are offering new capabilities for F1 teams, including the ability to run in-depth simulations of certain possibilities that might take place during races. That could span from working out an ideal time a car should spend at pit stops, to deciding on which tires to add onto the vehicle when replacing an old set. "What AI allows us to do from a generative perspective is to actually game out more of those actual scenarios and go, 'What will happen?'" Keyworth said. Some of those scenarios are starting to lead to "pretty accurate" results — to an "almost scary" degree, heh added. F1 not new to tech advances Tech has long been key to success when it comes to motorsports — and not just for McLaren. Various F1 teams have been exploiting modern advances in technology for years — from cloud computing to AI and machine learning. Aston Martin Aramco, for example, touts the use of so-called "data lakes" — massive data storage centers — and machine learning tech to learn from vast volumes of data to predict patterns and improve decision-making. Clare Lansley, Aston Martin Aramco's chief information officer, says machine learning algorithms can blend data on tires, the weather and track conditions, and use predictive analytics to optimize decisions. In an April blog post , she said the speed at which these developments are happening is "really impressive." "By adopting this tech, we are going to be able to free up multiple engineers so they can focus more acutely on car performance," she noted. Another F1 team deploying AI to improve its racetrack performance and strategy is Red Bull-owned Visa Cash App RB. Peter Bayer, CEO of RB, said earlier this year that the Italian F1 team is making use of AI to compete down to "hundreds and thousandths of a second." Speaking at an event with the firm's software partner Epicor at its factory in Faenza, Italy, Guillaume Dezoteux, RB's head of vehicle performance, said that AI can help inform teams when it comes to planning as "it means you don't need to run 100 simulations." Connectivity is 'lifeblood of the sport' Keyworth noted that none of the innovation that goes on inside McLaren would happen without the help of IT tools and equipment from partners like Cisco and Google . "Connectivity is probably the lifeblood of the sport," he said ahead of the Oct. 27 Mexico City Grand Prix race. "Without it, nothing starts. No car can be on the track safely." A key component behind McLaren's ability to keep data flowing through to its teams in real-time is its so-called mobile data centers. These are miniature server rooms that get flown around to different races around the world to keep the digital components of the operation online consistently. "These mobile data centers are flown alongside the famous F1 cars to each race location and brought online remotely to enable real-time storage and data processing" from the MTC, Chintan Patel, Cisco's chief technology officer for the U.K. and Ireland, told CNBC. Another area where AI is adding benefits is commercialization, according to McLaren's Keyworth. For fans and partners, he said, McLaren is increasingly trying to "enrich the journey and experience, and make our fans feel more connected." With AI, McLaren can better target fans located in more nascent markets for F1 like the U.S., where the sport has grown in popularity — for example, by personalizing information to fans at certain times of day. Meanwhile, when it comes to using AI on the business side of things, Keyworth said, the main area of improvement the company is seeing is in "making everybody's lives richer, slicker, faster, more efficient." "It's not a labor replacement — it's a 'laborious' replacement," he said. "You want to unlock your team to do the things that you hired them for — not to work through the overhead that lives in their role."
