Manchester United’s club shop was unable to sell shirts bearing the name of new \u00a375million striker Rasmus H\u00f8jlund for more than a month \u2014 because it did not have any Danish \u2018\u00f8s\u2019 in stock.<\/p>\n
Frustrated fans branded the club \u2018incompetent\u2019 after being told that the Old Trafford Megastore was waiting on a delivery of the letter to spell out the star signing\u2019s surname.<\/p>\n
H\u00f8jlund arrived from Atalanta in early August. But fans who tried to buy his shirt as late as Friday were told it wasn\u2019t possible and promised an update on Wednesday. One United follower, who wanted to buy a shirt as a birthday present, said it showed how the club cannot get \u2018the most basic\u2019 things right.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s incompetence,\u2019 the fan said. \u2018The big summer signing and you still can\u2019t get a shirt with his name on it because nobody saw fit to get the Danish \u2018\u00f8\u2019 delivered. It\u2019s indicative of a business that is a shambles even in the most basic ways.\u2019<\/p>\n
United insist that, despite the message sent on Friday, the \u2018\u00f8s\u2019 actually arrived on Thursday and added that the shirts are now \u2014 finally \u2014 on sale.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have finally recognised the success of their women\u2019s team at Stamford Bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Banners noting the side\u2019s many achievements have gone up alongside those of the men at the stadium.<\/p>\n
Emma Hayes\u2019s team, who normally call Kingsmeadow home, will be play at Stamford Bridge seven times this season.<\/p>\n
The announcement of a new dementia fund last week received a favourable response across football. However, not everyone believes that the move, led by the Premier League and Professional Footballers\u2019 Association, goes far enough.<\/p>\n
An initial \u00a31million has been made available to help former players and their families who are struggling with neurodegenerative diseases and will include payments for care home costs. The fund, one of the demands in the Daily Mail\u2019s \u2018Enough is Enough\u2019 campaign, is meant to provide support while a new charity is set up to act as a long-term vehicle and was described by Maheta Molango, chief executive of the PFA, as \u2018an important step forward\u2019.<\/p>\n
But John Stiles, son of World Cup winner Nobby who passed away in 2020, is not impressed. Stiles has written to Molango and Premier League CEO Richard Masters. He says he is \u2018sickened to see that a mere \u00a31m has been allocated\u2019 and describes the sum as \u2018an insult to the players and their families dead and dying\u2019. Stiles fears the fund is a \u2018cheap and nasty deal\u2019, adding it is \u2018not good enough\u2019.<\/p>\n

David Beckham has turned to one of his own to help Salford City, the club he co-owns with fellow Class of \u201992 stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On deadline day Ethan Ingram joined the League Two side from West Bromwich Albion on a season-long loan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old full back, who has played for England at Under-17, 18 and 20 levels, is represented by Footwork, the agency Beckham (right) set up with pals in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In-game interviews with Premier League stars could soon become commonplace if broadcasters get their way. International partners have told league bosses they want improved access while matches are taking place and have made proposals that they want to be part of the deal for the next cycle of rights.<\/p>\n
Alongside cameras in dressing rooms, broadcasters want to be able to speak to players moments after they have been subbed.<\/p>\n
Clubs would have to provide a player to speak from the bench on a set number of occasions with the hope that viewers would hear from someone who has made a match-changing contribution. Agenda understands the prospect received a lukewarm response when relayed to clubs last week.<\/p>\n

SCHILLINGS \u2014 the renowned London law firm well known for their specialism in defamation \u2014 are to launch a new specialist reputation consultancy. However, the company have not got off to the best start.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A press release, announcing the birth of the venture, named Victoria O\u2019Byrne as a founding partner and stated that she was \u2018communications director\u2019 at the London 2012 Olympics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That claim may well come as a surprise to Jackie Brock-Doyle CBE, who actually held that title. Schillings subsequently qualified that O\u2019Brien was communications director of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is growing consternation in the United States that cricket will be added to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics at the expense of the national sports of baseball and softball. The decision, following intense negotiations between the IOC and LA28, was expected on Friday but has been delayed.<\/p>\n
LA28 are fully aware that baseball\/softball would be a guaranteed sell-out at the Games and that cricket may struggle to attract stadium audiences.<\/p>\n
However, the IOC are thought to be desperate to get cricket on to the programme to kick-start an India bid for the 2036 Games. Tapping into the vast Indian market is understood to be high on the IOC\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n
