Manchester United are anxiously waiting for news on Manuel Ugarte's knee injury after the Uruguay midfielder was carried off on a stretcher in their defeat by Spain in Guadalajara. Ugarte left the field in tears after appearing to twist his left knee‚ immediately raising concerns that the 25-year-old may have suffered a serious ligament injury. United posted a story on the club's official website saying: 'Unfortunately‚ our midfielder had to leave the pitch in some distress on a stretcher shortly before half-time‚ to be replaced by Nicolas de la Cruz‚ and the extent of his injury is yet to be determined.

For players seeking a transfer‚ there's no better opportunity to put themselves in the shop window than at a World Cup. You might recall James Rodriguez‚ then a somewhat little-known midfielder for Monaco‚ announcing himself on the world stage with six goals in Brazil. One of those‚ a long-range volley against Uruguay‚ will go down as one of the greatest strikes in World Cup history. Weeks later‚ Real Madrid came calling with a bid of more than £70million.
Against all the odds‚ World Cup debutants Cape Verde have a very real chance of qualifying for the knockout stages after coming from behind to steal a valuable draw against two-time champions Uruguay. It was an historic night in Miami as Kevin Pina scored his country's first ever World Cup goal to give them the lead in the first half. Normality was restored just before half-time when Maxi Araujo equalized‚ before Agustin Canobbio put the South Americans ahead six minutes into injury time.

Real Madrid are reportedly upset with England's handling of Jude Bellingham during the international break‚ after the midfielder sat out of the Three Lions friendlies with Uruguay and Japan. Bellingham‚ 22‚ has been fighting for fitness after injuring his hamstring in early February‚ and only managed a brief cameo off the bench in Los Blancos' derby day victory over Atletico Madrid two weeks ago.
