"ole out" trending all over social media at the moment. united haven't won in the league for over a month now. andy mitten, from the fanzine united we stand, feels the side have been failing to live up to expectations. no team has got a divine right to success, but when you are a club like manchester united, with the wage bill and the talent that players have got, expectations are high. and it is not unreasonable for them to be high. and the team have been failing. results have been poon been failing. results have been poor. performances have been poor for the games united been winning, they have been really battered and thatis they have been really battered and that is a real worry too united fans. given united finished second last year and brought the players and over the summer, expectations rose. that was the natural reaction. people expected a serious title challenge and at the moment that does not look like it is going to happen. the disconnect now is between what people want and the reality. if you call that a crisis, that it reality. if you call that a crisis, thatitis reality. if you call that a crisis, that it is a crisis at the moment, because liverpool are going to disappear over the hill with liverpool and chelsea —— city and chelsea. support for the manager has been slipping in recent weeks. defense in the stadium have been supportive, seeking his name as recently as last week against atalanta, and i think he will always be member as a club legend for what he did. if he can turn this around asa he did. if he can turn this around as a manager, it will be even greater than what he did in camp nou in may 1999. the feeling for long time with him, this would be different this was someone who knew the club inside out, and he does, and he is very popular person and a very good person as well. and he has talent as a football manager, is difficult when you compete with two of the best managers in the world on your doorstep. that will be difficult for anybody. if anybody comes into replace them, it would be very difficult, but fans want to see more what they are seeing. they expected the season to be better, instead is turning out to be far worse. it may turn out to be a blip of a really —— a really badly that he moment i do not know if he is going lose his job. i know fans are really pressured at the moment and they are really conflicted, because they love ole gunnar solskjaer, but they don't love the team and results right now. andy mitten there. staying with football, england, northern ireland and wales all have crucial women's world cup qualifiers tomorrow evening. england travel to latvia full of confidence after winning their opening three group games. they top the group and have a massive goal difference of plus 22, and sarina wiegman — who is in herfirst campaign as england boss — has clearly enjoyed her time with the squad so far. the average level of our team is so high and that's so exciting to work with. and just the willingness to add something to our game. and how quick we take the step. for example, this patience, like and we played our first possession game, it was a little rushed. it was not... we did not collaborate that well. we just talked about with the squad and we said, be a little bit more patient, get connected a little better, manage the possession game, and how quick we get that and how quick we get them to the next level, that's really exciting. also in england's group are northern ireland. they are currently third behind austria, who they face tomorrow evening in belfast. captain marissa callaghan knows the task ahead is huge but wants her team to focus more on their own game than their opponents with the target of improving from saturday night's defeat to england. they are a great side, a top site, so you know that they are going to have possession of the ball, but we have possession of the ball, but we have to focus on us and what we are good at, and that's being in control of the game, comfortable on the ball, attacking with speed and just using our strength. we feel we can get a positive result. scotland are taking on sweden in a friendly, but wales face estonia in cardiff as they try to bounce back from a 1—1 draw away to slovenia. france are already threatening to run away with the group, so the welsh target will be on clinching second. that's where they sit after three games and will see tomorrow night's match against bottom side estonia as the perfect opportunity to establish themselves in that position, and wales are expecting a record home crowd for this match. i know tomorrow that it is notjust their —— it is theirfirst i know tomorrow that it is notjust their —— it is their first football game. we are expecting to win certain games. in the past it was just, go out and do your best. now it is actually, no, whales should be winning. that is the mentality in this team and i thing we're doing really well with that as senior team. let's take a look at some more of the day's sport now. british number one cameron norrie will lead the bid to win the davis cup finals after being named in an initial four—man squad. dan evans is the second singles player along with doubles specialistsjoe salisbury and neal skupski also included. andy murray is missing the event meaning one more spot is available. the international olympic committee has confirmed that athletes travelling to the winter olympics in beijing next february will need to be fully vaccinated against covid or face a 21—day quarantine on arrival. there will also be daily tests and temperature checks as the country experiences an increase in cases. meanwhile, unvaccinated tennis players are set to be allowed to compete in the australian open but face two weeks of quarantine and regular testing, according to a letter distributed to wta players. a number of players, including 35% on the men's tour, remain unvaccinated. lewis hamilton has admitted it's going to be tough to challenge the red bull of max verstappen, as the formula one season enters the final few races of the season. verstappen finished just ahead of the seven—time champion at the circuit of the americas in texas for red bull's first win in there in 8 years. joe lynskey has more. the tense final outs of the us grand prix and a mace now looks like the f1 prix and a mace now looks like the fi season.

turns to come full 7 there may be more turns to come full ? modern rivalry. joe lynskey, bbc news. well, our fi reporterjennie gow told me the rivalry between hamilton and verstappen is something fans have been craving for a long time and the duels have really made the sport exciting to watch so far this season, with perhaps the best of the action still to come. this is a subject we have debated really hard this season, has there ever been a robbery like this because nick if you think back to some of the biggest rivalries that we know within the sport, a lot of them have been interchanging, two team it's going to head, if you think hunts, all of those people, it did not seem to have this same sort of level of vibrancy almost, with two teams at the very top building had to head and two drivers also at the very top going head to head. it is fascinating and i think it is really everybody excited about formula one again. find really everybody excited about formula one again.— really

reliability as well. just one failure to finish a race in the last five could be catastrophic for whoever that is. the teams are nursing their cars, they're making sure that they are making sensible decisions, hence we have seen engine penalties, one each for verstappen and hamilton to hopefully get them to the end of the season, but i think you are right, when it comes to mistakes, they are trying to manage that and make sure that no one makes an absolute howler and let's this championship get away from them. let's this championship get away from them-— from them. and looking at the

championship at the weekend, with victory at the same track in texas. the all—female competition could well prove be the ticket for a seat in formula one. she told me the win will undoubtedly boost her chances of that in the future. it feels different, to be honest. yeah, i think the stakes maybe were a bit higher this year, and honestly ifeel like a bit higher this year, and honestly i feel

yes. there was going to be trouble? yes, aood there was going to be trouble? yes, good evening. _ there was going to be trouble? yes, good evening, french _ there was going to be trouble? i2: good evening, french football literally wrestles with this since fans return. last year... there is barely a single fixture without the game being closed due to troubles with fans invading the pitch. ligue one problem with fan violence have been a issue for many weeks now. it is becoming a french disease. last night in marseilles, n e mark having to be protected by police riot shields of a fan running onto the pitch and stopping messi on a counterattack. this is scary for the players, for the fans, for everyone involved in the game. it is not acceptable. yesterday, the psg players, they were smart enough to players, they were smart enough to play quickly, the corners, not to complain set we would not escalate, it would not raise violence, but yes, it despite warnings, despite fans being asked to behave, despite all that, it is been a long time since we have enjoyed such quality and excitement in ligue one, on the pitch, a remarkable season so far, but yet we went by some fans behaviour off the pitch. in total, yesterday night in marseilles, nine policemen were injured, hundreds of people try to force their way to the stadium, 2! people were arrested and placed under police custody, so this is not acceptable, and it is really dangerous for everybody out there. and another incident, the shining of laser pens, which we do not want to be seen. why do you think this rise in crowd trouble and fan unrest is occurring? is it a society issue or is it purely down to the football? i think it is a society issue. the violence we have in society, now we have in the stadiums, the problem is that we do not see that in italy, in germany, in england. you sorted the hooliganism issue in the premier league, because in france, most people know they don't risk anything, really, to be honest. no lifetime stadium band, no strict rules, also in french stadiums we don't have as much... it takes a long time to identify the troublemakers. what is disappointing his authorities are aware that le classique is going to be... they know the stance will packed, so lots of stewards, policemen, but still the trouble takes place the sub the authorities, every time, they look quite unprepared for those events. and, yes, it is a society issue. as dimitri payet commented last night after the game, we need real punishments in france. we cannot win till someone gets injured or worse. sara menai, think you very much indeed for that. sara menai, french footballjournalists. —— thank you very much indeed. finally, it's been announced that a friendly match between two of diego maradona's former clubs will take place in saudi arabia in december — just over a year after his death. boca juniors — where maradona enjoyed his greatest moments — will face barcelona in riyadh, barca the club where maradona spent two years in the early �*80s before enjoying great success with napoli. the match is being called the maradona cup and will celebrate the memory of one of the greatest players to ever grace the game. amazing footage there. that is it from us on sportsday. we will see you soon. it's been a day of sunshine and showers today. a lot of those showers will fade away this evening, but cloud is coming in from the atlantic. that's going to bring some rain overnight into northern ireland. then it gets wetter in western scotland. some rain over the irish sea later into the western parts of england and wales. ahead of that cloud, some clearer spells for a while. eastern scotland, eastern england, temperatures could slip away to five or six celsius. that band of rain soon moves away from northern ireland in the morning. we've got a spell of rain running eastwards across scotland, northern england. not much rain heading east further south. a lot of that rain is gone by the afternoon, leaving us with a lot of cloud, a little drizzle over some western hills. to the east of high ground, the best chance of seeing some sunshine. strong westerly winds and temperatures widely 16 or 17 celsius. there's still some rain around, particularly affecting parts of northern england, perhaps north wales. may get wetter again in northern ireland, central, southern parts of scotland. still quite a windy day for many. some sunshine through the midlands, east anglia and the southeast. and here, temperatures could reach 18 celsius. hello, i'm maryam moshiri, this is outside source. the united nations warns of a countdown to a humanitarian catastrophe in afghanistan. the bbc finds some parents so desperate they're forced to sell their children to buy food. we know there are other families here who've sold their children, and even while we've been here, another person came up to one of our team and asked if we'd like to buy their child. the desperation and the urgency of the situation is hard to put in words. the world food programme says millions are facing starvation in the country. also the un says the world is on course for a dangerous
