Jesus extended an olive branch to Ronaldo on Sunday night when he insisted he would be welcome back in the next international break - despite his furious walkout this time around. Ronaldo was livid that he was left on the bench for their full match against Norway on September 27 - the first time that has happened in 18 years on Portugal duty.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a lifeline by his Portugal manager and team-mates‚ who insist they would welcome his return despite his explosive walkout. Ronaldo missed Portugal's 2-1 win over Norway in the Nations League on Sunday after abandoning their international camp due to a row with manager Jorge Jesus.
Haaland‚ who cut his hair at the start of the season‚ became synonymous with his ponytail hair that he donned while scoring plenty of goals for both club and country. Airline Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA used an image during the World Cup of a plane with Haaland's hair edited onto it‚ and the forward has failed to see the funny side of things. The caption read: 'We've never felt more Norwegian.'
OLIVER HOLT: Lionel Messi will make his final appearance for Argentina in Buenos Aires next week. The match‚ a friendly against Benin‚ has been dubbed 'The Last Tango'. It has been scripted for him. It is an opportunity for a nation to pay homage to one of the greatest players who has ever lived. Whether Cristiano Ronaldo is ever afforded the same kind of farewell from the international game he has graced for 23 years remains to be seen. If Messi seems at peace with his decision and aware of the limitations age has foisted upon him‚ Ronaldo is raging and raging against the dying of the light. It was hard not to feel sad at the sight of Ronaldo‚ who is 41 and had started the country's previous game against Wales‚ walking out of the Portugal camp after manager Jorge Jesus chose not to bring him off the bench in the team's Nations League victory over Norway in Oslo on Sunday. It was the first time in 18 years that Ronaldo had been an unused substitute for his country.
Manchester City stars Erling Haaland and Ruben Dias spoke furtively following their international clash - just days after the club's guilty verdict in their battle against the Premier League. Dias covered his mouth while Haaland shook his head in the aftermath of Portugal's Nations League win over Norway on Sunday night.
United's Premier League season got off to a nightmare start as goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy - both stemming from set-pieces - put them to the sword in Yorkshire. Carrick was interviewed afterwards by Viaplay broadcaster Jan Age Fjortoft‚ the Norwegian who played for Swindon‚ Middlesbrough ‚ Sheffield United‚ and Barnsley in the 1990s.
BOOK EXTRACT: On the final day of the season‚ Martin Odegaard was one of the last players to make his way off the Selhurst Park turf with the Premier League trophy in his hands. Photographers commissioned by the league had already snapped the rest of the team individually and were waiting for the captain. As Odegaard spoke to photographers about getting his picture taken‚ an Arsenal staff member pulled the trophy off him‚ telling the Norwegian that 'the boss wants it (the trophy)' before quickly carrying it over to Mikel Arteta. Even in success‚ there was one man who superseded it all. The power a manager wields at a football club is complex. It's not linear. It grows over time and shows itself in differing ways. In the Premier League‚ the power Arteta holds at Arsenal is of a rarer kind.
CHRIS WHEELER: Head coach Michael Carrick again started with a strong line-up against a side who are 13 games into the Norwegian League season‚ and the majority of his starting XI stayed on the pitch for an hour as United took a two-goal lead through Shea Lacey and an audacious effort from Joshua Zirkzee. Carrick then sent on his youngsters who seized the opportunity to impress for the second game in a row and scored three more through Jacob Devaney‚ Harry Amass and Ethan Williams.

Erling Haaland celebrated turning 26 in style on Tuesday as he showed off his huge birthday feast while holidaying after the World Cup. The Manchester City star played a key role for Norway at this summer's tournament in the United States‚ Canada and Mexico‚ steering his country to their best ever World Cup finish before suffering defeat against England in the quarter-finals. Haaland‚ aware that the new Premier League season is only a few weeks away‚ has opted to take a much-needed holiday after the World Cup‚ enjoying a relaxing getaway on the waves with his girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen in Sardinia.
Spain lifted the World Cup in dramatic fashion in New Jersey on Sunday night to bring the curtain down on a memorable tournament. Over 104 games across 16 host cities in five-and-a-half weeks‚ we've seen the likes of Cape Verde and Norway capture the hearts of the footballing public. There was also another heartbreaking semi-final exit for England at the hands of Argentina‚ while fellow heavyweights Germany‚ the Netherlands and Brazil will rue disappointing campaigns. So‚ in light of the World Cup coming to a close‚ our Daily Mail Sport experts have reflected on their highlights - and lowlights - from the tournament.
Wayne Rooney has fulfilled his promise of rowing down the Hudson River after he was left stunned by Norway's remarkable World Cup run to the quarter-finals. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Big Apple‚ Rooney heaved his way through one of the world's most famous waterways alongside fellow BBC pundits and former England team-mates Joe Hart and Micah Richards. While Hart credited Richards with being a 'natural'‚ the same perhaps could not be said of Rooney‚ who yelled: 'I think I pulled my thigh.'
The former England captain has been a near-ever-present at the tournament in North America‚ and made headlines as he cheered on his country's win over Norway with wife Victoria. Then‚ when England lost to Argentina in the semi-finals on Wednesday‚ Becks was consoled by son Cruz‚ 21‚ as he sat in the stands in Atlanta with his head in his hands. It would have been easy to pick England to take the trophy had they reached the final‚ but Beckham instead had to pick between European champions Spain and his old enemy.
Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane have deservedly got the majority of acclaim for England's World Cup campaign so far‚ but the Argentine press have warned their squad of two other key players to watch out for. England and Argentina go head-to-head in the second semi-final on Wednesday in Atlanta (8pm‚ BST) with Spain awaiting the winner in Sunday's showpiece. Bellingham and Kane have spearheaded England so far with the pair having scored 12 of their 13 goals - including the former's brace in a 2-1 win after extra-time in the quarter-final against Norway on Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel says he can lead England to World Cup glory despite his 'mediocre' playing career‚ as he declared: 'You don't have to be a horse to be a good jockey.' The Three Lions take on holders Argentina in tonight's semi-final here in Atlanta‚ with much of the build-up centred on Jude Bellingham's reaction to Tuchel's comments after Saturday's 2-1 victory over Norway. The head coach was highly critical of his team's technical performance in Miami but praised their mentality in finding a way to win.
Erling Haaland and his team-mates touched down back in Norway to a heroes welcome after their World Cup exploits - with the forward curiously carrying a stuffed raccoon in his luggage. The Norwegian team landed at Oslo Airport on Monday afternoon after travelling home following their 2-1 extra-time defeat by England in the World Cup quarter-finals. Norway's dream run was ended by a Jude Bellingham double‚ with star man Haaland forced to watch the closing stages from the bench after being forced off before the second period of extra-time.
The Three Lions will face Argentina for the first time in 21 years when the two teams line up in Atlanta for a place in Sunday's final against either Spain or France. It will mark the second time in three World Cups that England have reached the semi-final stage and‚ after Saturday evening's scalp of Norway‚ Thomas Tuchel's men have been backed to knockout the reigning champions by a host of ex-players.
New evidence - direct from the World Cup stadium spidercam - now proves that Jude Bellingham's controversial first goal against Norway was right to stand after all‚ despite the claims of the Norwegian players. Norway had insisted that a goal kick from their goalkeeper Orjan Nyland struck one of the mid-air cables that supports the overhead spidercam before falling to England's Elliot Anderson‚ who went on to pass to Anthony Gordon to set up Bellingham's goal. That scenario should have seen play stopped and the goal disallowed. But FIFA has reviewed videos from various angles and Daily Mail Sport has seen footage which shows a natural flight path of the ball.
MICHAEL OWEN: If I'm sitting in the England dressing room‚ I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest by Thomas Tuchel questioning our performance after the win over Norway. First‚ he was right. Second‚ players only get upset when a manager questions their attitude. That's personal. That's when you start looking around wondering who he's talking about. Tuchel did the exact opposite. He praised England's mentality‚ their resilience and willingness to suffer for each other.
