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.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.

This was Arsenal's joint-biggest win when opening a Premier League campaign at home, along with another 3-0 victory in the 1994-95 season (v Manchester City). Mikel Arteta recorded his 150th Premier League victory in charge of Arsenal, and is now one of only five managers to reach 150 wins in fewer than 250 games (249), after Pep Guardiola (204), Jose Mourinho (231), Jurgen Klopp (237), and Alex Ferguson (247).
AFA president Claudio Tapia responded to the punishment FIFA handed Argentina over the incidents at the 2026 World Cup. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) wasted little time reacting to FIFA’s harsh punishment against Argentina, issuing a statement from Claudio Tapia’s offices confirming that the federation’s legal department will formally request the grounds for the sanctions in order to challenge them before FIFA’s Appeal Committee. “Given the notifications received, and in defense of the rights of the Association and its players, the AFA Legal Department will, in due time and form, request from FIFA the grounds for the rulings that are subject to review, in order to file appeals with the Appeal Committee of world football’s governing body, with the possibility of resorting to the CAS as a last instance remaining open in the future,” the official statement read. The federation’s priority is reducing the individual suspensions handed to Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina, Thiago Almada, and assistant coach Roberto Ayala, with the stated goal of ensuring each of them misses as few matches as possible heading into Argentina‘s upcoming fixtures. Given the length of Paredes’ (ten games) and Molina’s (seven games) bans in particular, any reduction would carry real weight for Lionel Scaloni as he plans his squad for the next international window. #Institucional Decisiones Comisión Disciplinaria de la FIFA – Mundial 2026📝https://t.co/UFhAlGmQ9r pic.twitter.com/bbOdAikCes— AFA (@afa) August 21, 2026 Should the initial appeal fail to produce results, AFA has made clear it won’t rule out escalating the case to the CAS as a final resort, a path the federation has only taken once before in recent memory, back in 2022, over a suspended match against Brazil. For now, the process is just beginning, and no timeline has been given for when FIFA‘s Appeal Committee might rule on the federation’s request.
