Lionel Messi is set to start as Inter Miami host Atlanta United, with interim coach Guillermo Hoyos still in charge while Kily Gonzalez awaits his work permit. Lionel Messi will be in the starting lineup as Inter Miami host Atlanta United on Saturday at Nu Stadium, with interim head coach Guillermo Hoyos still in charge of the side while incoming coach Cristian “Kily” Gonzalez awaits the work permit needed to officially take the reins. The Argentine captain comes into the match in red-hot form, having scored four goals in Miami’s 7-1 rout of Montreal last time out, and there is no indication he will be eased out of the XI despite the ongoing coaching transition. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, with Miami looking to build on its emphatic result over Montreal and Hoyos aiming to hand off a side in good form once Gonzalez is finally cleared to take over. Meanwhile, Atlanta will try to use Gerardo Martino’s insider knowledge of the Miami roster to slow down a Messi-led attack that has been in devastating form of late. Ready for another one at home. 🏠⚽️ #MIAvATL | @MarriottBonvoy pic.twitter.com/cEcYMQYanp— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) September 5, 2026 Inter Miami confirmed lineup Miami will line up in a 4-3-3.

Inter Miami confirmed starting XI: Dayne St. Clair; Ian Fray, Casemiro, Maximiliano Falcon, Fricio Caicedo; Rodrigo De Paul, Yannick Bright, Telasco Segovia; Lionel Messi, German Berterame, Luis Suarez.

After his poker in the last Inter Miami game, Lionel Messi has only USMNT legend Landon Donovan left to surpass in the for MLS Player of the Matchday awards. Lionel Messi once again took Major League Soccer by storm over the weekend with a jaw-dropping five-goal-contribution performance, racking up four goals and an assist in Inter Miami‘s latest blowout victory. The historic outing earned him yet another MLS Player of the Matchday honor, leaving USMNT icon Landon Donovan as the only name ahead of him on the all-time list. Seeking to snap a five-match winless slide, Inter Miami hosted CF Montreal on Saturday at Nu Stadium in a 7-1 rout orchestrated by a dominant Messi. The Argentine star opened his account by converting a direct free kick in the 40th minute to make it 2-1 before adding open-play strikes in the 52nd and 83rd minutes. He also set up Luis Suarez in the 80th minute for Miami’s fourth goal and capped his four-goal masterclass with a sublime set-piece strike in stoppage time. With his historic performance, becoming the first player in Inter Miami franchise history to score four goals in a single match, Messi was named MLS Player of the Matchday for the 15th time in his career. He also returned to the MLS Team of the Matchday for the first time since Matchday 14, joined by midfield partner Casemiro, who recorded his first goal for the Herons. The honor marks Messi’s third Player of the Matchday award of the 2026 campaign. He previously earned the award on Matchday 2 following a two-goal performance against Orlando City and again on Matchday 8 after bagging a brace against the Colorado Rapids. Player of the Matchday honors for Leo Messi. 🔟🩷🔗 https://t.co/aFVjFEt1FS pic.twitter.com/4OpZfkR5u3— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) August 31, 2026 Messi leaves Jeff Cunningham in his wake Since arriving at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has rewritten the MLS record book at an unprecedented pace, routinely collecting Player of the Matchday accolades. His latest honor broke a tie with Columbus Crew legend Jeff Cunningham, whose 14 career Player of the Matchday awards now rank third all-time. Now, only Landon Donovan stands ahead of Messi, with the USMNT and MLS legend holding the all-time record of 19 Player of the Matchday honors. With 12 regular-season matches remaining for Inter Miami in 2026 and Messi trailing by just four awards, catching Donovan remains a distinct possibility as the Argentine continues his peak form coming off the 2026 World Cup. Messi’s history with the MLS Player of the Matchday award Lionel Messi made an immediate impact upon joining Inter Miami in mid-2023, guiding the club to the Leagues Cup title, the first trophy in the franchise’s history. However, minor physical setbacks and a lack of a full preseason limited his statistical dominance during his inaugural MLS regular-season stretch. That dynamic shifted completely in 2024 when Messi etched his name into the league’s history books, leading Inter Miami to the single-season points record while collecting six Player of the Matchday honors. Although the club fell short in the postseason, he took home the Landon Donovan MLS MVP award. In 2025, Messi elevated his production even further, claiming the MLS Golden Boot with 29 goals, capturing the MLS Cup, earning his second consecutive MVP award, and matching his mark of six Player of the Matchday honors. Through the middle of the 2026 campaign, he leads the golden boot race with 18 goals and has already picked up three weekly awards.
Wayne Rooney has sent a strong transfer message to Michael Carrick (Picture: BBC Sport) Wayne Rooney has warned Michael Carrick he will end up ‘paying the price’ if Manchester United relent from making any further signings. The transfer window closes on Tuesday with United still appearing to have several glaring weaknesses in their squad to address. Sunday’s 5-2 win over Ipswich Town helped rebuild momentum after United’s opening weekend setback against Hull, but Rooney fears that victory could end up papering over obvious cracks. United’s recruitment efforts this summer have largely focused on rebuilding their midfield engine room with Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba and Youri Tielemans all having joined in the wake of Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte’s serious injury.

Defensively, and particularly at full-back, United look vulnerable with Luke Shaw given the runaround by Ipswich winger Fatawu Issahaku, while Rooney also has concerns with his old club’s forward line. Indeed, United’s record goalscorer believes the onus should be on Carrick to apply pressure and ensure United’s key decision maker arm him with the tools he requires. Rooney told the United Stand: ‘I hope the game doesn’t hide that, or hide behind today’s result and say they’re OK. We’ve won this game 5-2 and everything is rosy. Michael Carrick will want to make more signings (Picture: Getty) ‘Michael’s got to and push. The next two days he’s got to go in, he’s got to be banging on the door saying I need more players, players to improve the squad, improve the starting XI. If you give us these players it might be the difference between winning a trophy or finishing in the top four. ‘I think he has to be strong and really push for that, if we don’t I think we saw Mazraoui not doing to well when he came on either, we could end up paying the price. ‘They’ll have ideas and constant conversations which will be going on and there will be a list of players who are there. ‘Listen, I think it’s important you don’t just go and buy anyone for the sake of it. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick praises Man Utd for overcoming setback in explosive 5-2 win over Ipswich","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/31\/7586138516765390594\/480x270_MP4_7586138516765390594.mp4","description":"Bruno Fernandes scored a hattrick and bagged an assist as the cherry on the cake.","duration":"T8M38S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/31\/07\/110948227-0-image-a-1_1788159275197.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-31T07:58:15+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘I know I’m saying there he has to go and try and get more players and put pressure on them to do that, but I think it’s important they don’t just waste money on someone who isn’t good enough. ‘If the right one isn’t there I get you need to be a bit patient and trust the players you’ve got.’ Pressed on which areas of the team United needed to strengthen in, Rooney added: For me it’s goals.

Casemiro filled Lionel Messi with praise after the four goals scored and the assist delivered in Inter Miami's game against CF Montreal: "He's still the best." Lionel Messi proved to be the decisive catalyst in leading Inter Miami back to the winning column, delivering a four-goal masterclass and an assist in a blowout victory over CF Montreal. Following the dominant display, star midfielder Casemiro offered high praise for the Argentine icon, declaring, “He’s still the best.“ Inter Miami had been mired in one of their most difficult stretches of the season, dropping four matches and drawing once over a five-game slide that featured an early exit from the Leagues Cup and lost ground in the 2026 Supporters’ Shield race. However, as he has done since arriving in South Florida, Messi provided the spark to jumpstart the Herons. Although Casemiro opened the scoring with a 20th-minute header, Fabian Herbers quickly answered with an equalizer to create early tension at Nu Stadium. Starting with a set-piece strike in the 40th minute, Messi took complete control of the match, adding goals in the 52nd, 83rd, and 90+6 minutes while setting up Luis Suarez in the 80th to seal a 7-1 rout for the hosts over Montreal. Speaking to Apple TV post-match, Casemiro reflected on the team’s bounce-back effort and pivoted immediately to Messi’s brilliance: “We played well, we put in a good match. This is what having Messi on your team is all about. You have to enjoy these moments, because he is a person… a player who makes history.” ❤️🇧🇷🇦🇷 Casemiro, para Lionel Messi:“Esto es lo que es tener a Messi en tu equipo. Hay que disfrutar estos momentos, porque es una persona… un jugador que marca historia.Lo que hemos visto hoy tenemos que disfrutarlo. Seguir apoyándolo y seguir compitiendo con él, porque…— Sudanalytics (@sudanalytics_) August 30, 2026 Messi set a franchise benchmark on the night, becoming the first player in Inter Miami history to score four goals in a single match. “What we saw today, we have to enjoy it. Keep supporting him and keep competing with him, because he is still the best and he proved it in the World Cup. We have to enjoy being with him because with him we are much stronger,” Casemiro concluded. Inter Miami experienced an emotional slump following the passing of Messi’s father in early August, during which the forward’s production temporarily dipped below his standard form. Casemiro’s public show of support highlights a unified locker room rallying around their captain as they pursue hardware in the final stretch of 2026. Messi continues to rewrite the MLS record book Netting two of his four goals directly from free kicks elevated Messi into a tie for second place on soccer’s all-time set-piece scoring list, adding another milestone to his legendary career. At the same time, the performance established yet another landmark within Major League Soccer. By scoring four goals on Saturday, Lionel Messi became the fastest player in MLS history to record 20 multi-goal games, reaching the milestone in just 72 matches. The Argentine surpassed the previous standard held by former teammate Josef Martinez, who reached 20 multi-goal games in 100 matches, while outpacing iconic figures like Robbie Keane (124), Bradley Wright-Phillips (149), and Landon Donovan (178).
