Ajayi and Mendy give Hull dream start against misfiring Manchester United
Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement 13 years ago, Manchester United have been stuck in football’s equivalent of purgatory and a chastening experience in Hull suggests they could be there a while longer. Michael Carrick’s permanent appointment was supposed to hail a new era at Old Trafford but very little has changed based on this defeat. capturengo.com
United were sluggish from start to finish and rightly punished for failing to defend set-pieces with any degree of competence. Centre-backs Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy earned Hull the prized scalp upon their return to the Premier League, while United are left to ponder if the squad requires more invasive surgery before the transfer window closes.

Despite Take-Two and Rockstar Games' best efforts, the GTA 6 leaks aren't dying down. In fact, the hacker known online as Cyberleek is now teasing footage of the open-world game's strip clubs.
Parent company Take-Two isn't exactly having the best week - the plumbing that contains GTA 6 has been dripping for days, which is far from ideal considering the game's Extended Look special was supposed to give Netflix the world-first exclusive at the end of the month.
Cyberleek has already shown the world the full Leonidas map and what seems to be near-final gameplay of the game itself. The inclusion of Tate McRae's Sports Car, a pop song that came out in early 2025, is probably an indication that whatever build Cyberleek has access to isn't years and years old.
And, now, the hacker has spilled more footage onto the interweb. The fresh gameplay clips that are traveling faster than Take-Two can DMCA them reportedly show more of what you'd expect from a Grand Theft Auto game - fast cars, cop chases, shop robberies, etc - but it apparently ends with footage teasing GTA 6's new strip clubs, a carrot I'm sure Rockstar would prefer to dangle over players' noses instead. No doubt a move to have fans shower the anonymous group's crypto scheme with more cash.
This weekend's footage comes despite Take-Two's moves to put a lid on the leaks. The company recently filed subpoenas asking Discord and Microsoft to help it catch whoever's behind the massive leaks. Take-Two is essentially trying to "obtain the identity of an alleged infringer or infringers" using the backend data it can get its hands on. At the very least, Xbox is trying to help Rockstar.
Still, GTA 6: An Extended Look goes live next week on August 27 with the full game coming on November 19. How much of the game the internet will have seen before that date is anyone's guess.
Anton Stach snatches late Leeds winner to sour Glasner’s new dawn at Forest
For Anton Stach, another sweet direct free-kick to add to the back catalogue, this one souring Oliver Glasner’s first match in charge of Nottingham Forest. Only Dominik Szoboszlai eclipsed Stach’s record of three direct free-kick goals in the Premier League last season, one of those coming against Glasner’s Crystal Palace.
Stach’s latest right-foot strike earned Leeds, fresh from a near-flawless pre-season and an expensive and exciting summer in the market, a divine opening-day victory with a couple of minutes of normal time remaining.
