Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag reportedly canceled a planned day off for his players and forced them into a humiliating running exercise as the fallout from the shock Brentford defeat continues.
Ten Hag, who oversaw a successful pre-season but has endured a nightmare start in the Premier League, was helpless as he watched his side capitulate at the Brentford Community Stadium.

It was United’s second straight defeat after the opening day loss to Brentford and consigned the Red Devils to the bottom of the Premier League ladder for the first time in 30 years.
And according to The Telegraph’s Jason Burt, ten Hag was furious with what his team served up against the Bees and ordered his team to come to the club’s training ground for a punishing extra session.

“With United not playing again until next Monday, at home to Liverpool, ten Hag had intended to allow his squad not to report to their training HQ, Carrington, for a recovery day,” Burt wrote.
“Instead, having told the players that their performance was ‘shocking’ and agreeing with the post-match analysis that they had played ‘like kids’ ten Hag demanded a response with an intense training session which, surprisingly after a game, included an element of running.”
Over the course of 90 minutes, United ran 95.6km as a team while Brentford chalked up 109.4km.
The shocking margin was another element of ten Hag’s brutal punishment, as Burt claims the Dutchman forced his players to cover 13.8km throughout the training session conducted in 30-degree heat, “exactly the distance they collectively ran less than the Brentford players during the game .”
With a clash against bitter rivals Liverpool on the horizon, things could get much, much worse before they get better for ten Hag and Manchester United.
The inquest into the death of 19-year-old Kumanjayi Walker, who was shot by a Northern Territory police officer in 2019, will no longer begin in his home community of Yuendumu.
Key points:
Family have requested the inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker no longer begin in his community
He died after being fatally shot by Constable Zachary Rolfe in 2019, who was found not guilty of all charges
The NT Coroner will examine his death for three months from September 5

Kumanjayi Walker died after he was shot by Constable Zachary Rolfe during an attempted arrest in Yuendumu in November 2019.
Constable Rolfe was found not guilty of murder after a five-week Supreme Court trial earlier this year.
Northern Territory Coroner, Libby Armitage, will preside over a three-month inquest into his death, which had earlier been flagged to start in the remote community, about 300 kilometers from Alice Springs.

‘Change in circumstances’ in Yuendumu
Legal representatives of Mr Walker’s family and community today told the Coroner it would no longer be “appropriate” for the inquest to start in Yuendumu.
Representatives for the Lane, Walker and Robertson families, who cared for Mr Walker, said a “change in circumstances” in Yuendumu meant their feelings towards the inquest being held in community had changed.
Representing the NT Police Force, Dr Ian Freckleton told the coroner local police were aware of an “incident” in the community, which had led to heightened tensions.
The lawyer representing the Yuendumu Parumpurru (Justice) Committee told the coroner his clients “greatly appreciate” the efforts made to hold the beginning of proceedings in the community, but that the inquest should commence at Alice Springs.
Counsel Assisting the coroner, Dr Peggy Dwyer, noted “considerable” logistics, including accommodation and court facilities, had been organized for the inquest to sit in Yuendumu for two days and that the coroner will be required to visit the community at some stage throughout the inquiry
“I will have discussions with the family and community as we progress, to see how that [visit] can be done in a way that is sensitive and most respectful to the family and community,” Dr Dwyer said.
Dr Dwyer suggested the coroner may use that opportunity to engage informally with members of the Yuendumu community and hear their stories.
“There is increasing emphasis on the Coroner’s Courts in the Northern Territory and in other jurisdictions around Australia, of the need to make every effort to make coronial proceedings inclusive to families and the community and to respect Aboriginal culture,” Dr Dwyer said.
Dr Dwyer noted not everyone in the Yuendumu community was of the view the inquest should no longer start there, but that those who were directly involved in the inquest had made the request.

Inquest to be live streamed
Opening today’s hearing with an acknowledgment of country, Ms Armitage welcomed members of Mr Walker’s family who were listening via an online live stream.
The court heard a website will be developed to ensure the entirety of the coronial inquiry can be accessed online, as well as resources in language for community members who don’t speak English.
“I acknowledge this court is not likely to ever feel comfortable for the family or witnesses,” Dr Dwyer said.
“But every effort will be made to make this more open and inclusive.”
Dr Dwyer said videos explaining the coronial process have been filmed and the coroner’s opening address, as well as the Counsel Assisting’s opening address, will be translated and made available on the website.
She also encouraged members of the community to reach out to herself and her colleagues with any questions.
The inquest is scheduled to run for three months, beginning on September 5 in Alice Springs.
There is finally some good news for your grocery bill, with the price of many vegetables expected to drop back to regular prices.
The change comes as growers begin to report that they are back on track with their crops after flooding earlier in the year devastated crops in NSW and Queensland, leaving empty shelves in supermarkets as well as fast food stores such as KFC having to substitute lettuce for cabbage in their burgers.
speaking to the ABCMulgowie Yowie Salads director Shannon Moss said the price of vegetables – such as iceberg lettuce which peaked at around $12 a head at the height of the crisis – have remained high for so long because farmers essentially had to start from scratch.
“You have to remember a seedling in a nursery takes about four to six weeks to grow, then it’s another eight weeks in the ground to grow lettuce,” he said.
“So you’re looking at three to four months to grow any kind of lettuce.”
And while the industry still faces challenges caused by labor shortages, high fuel costs and fertilizer costs, the better weather has at least helped even out supply issues.
Mr Moss says he’s now back in the swing of things, producing about 30,000 cos lettuces a week which get sent out to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
“We’ve had nice weather where a lot of growers have got stock coming on,” Mr Moss said.
But while price drops are coming, Toowoomba-based greengrocer Bevan Betros warned people not to expect them to come down immediately.
“I don’t think they’ll get much cheaper just for the next week or two,” he told ABC. “They’ll get back down as the warm weather comes on, as we get into spring.
“We should be getting down under $2 again, hopefully in September.”
Best-mates Omar and Oz have proved they are a force to be reckoned with on The Block after going from last place to winners in just a week.
The Western Sydney men won Main Bathroom Week with a country-meets-contemporary bathroom the judges adored.

Omar and Oz revealed it was losing the House Decider challenge that inspired them to significantly step up their interior design game with their main bathroom.
“What made us work very strong together was the 48-hour challenge we failed in,” Oz told 9Entertainment in an exclusive video interview.
“I looked at Omar, Omar looked at me and he’s like, ‘Do you know what? Let’s get this, we gotta put our A game [in]’.”

It was the perfect time to bring their “A game” because winning Main Bathroom Week didn’t just offer the usual $10,000 to add to their renovation budget. The win also came with a $250,000 kitchen upgrade from Winning Appliances, which is a huge advantage for Kitchen Week and a big incentive for buyers on auction day.
The pair had done their research before going on The Blocksending each other photos of houses they liked.

But after the judges told Omar and Oz their House Decider challenge bedroom was far from the country style they expected from a historic house in regional Victoria, they went harder on the country and heritage look than they had planned.
“We had so much inspiration coming in… that first bathroom, before this we probably never would have picked those tiles, we would’ve never kept the VJ paneling in the house and all these other things,” Omar explained.
“But when we realized there was going to be a massive modern extension area where we can show our true colours, [we thought] it would just be nice to let it flow through.”

When it comes to designing a room, it’s not just about style. Functionality is just as important as style, if not more so, and can be the difference between winning and losing points at Room Reveals.
Omar and Oz kept this front of mind when they started designing the bathroom and it paid off. The large shower size, hidden toilet and plentiful storage meant the pair had thought of how the space would be used, not just what it looks like.

“We made sure that the functionality of the bathroom was spot on to choose the tiles, the floor tiles, the lighting, the color palette that goes with it and the VJ paneling to keep it that country vibe,” Oz said.
“We knew what we wanted, we just had to make it come to life.”

NRL great PAUL GALLEN will appear on Nine’s 100% FOOTY every Monday night of the NRL season, debating rugby league’s hottest topics alongside Phil Gould and James Bracey. Tune in tonight at 9:45pm (AEST) as the panel looks back at round 22!
The list of the 100 best-paid players in the NRL made for very interesting reading over the weekend, and highlighted just how tricky juggling the salary cap is for each club.
Penrith had one player in the top 30 (Nathan Cleary at No.1) which is not bad for a club that’s six points clear and heavy favorites to win a second successive title. I’ll come back to the Panthers shortly.
At the other end of the scale, Manly have two of the top six (Daly Cherry-Evans at No.2 and Tom Trbojevic at No.6) but will miss the finals for the fifth time in eight seasons.

That doesn’t mean DCE or Turbo are overpaid, far from it.
DCE signed that 10-year deal many years ago, leaving aside the shocker he had against the Titans he’s been a great halfback, and I can’t place any blame for Manly’s struggles at his feet.
But as soon as Turbo went down injured this year you knew the Sea Eagles were gone. No Turbo, no chance. They’re a one-man band. They were last year, and they are this year.
Along with the Titans, Manly are probably the most disappointing team of the season in my opinion. They’ll finish 10th or 11th, but I can’t knock either DCE or Turbo for what they’re earning, because they’re two great players.

When Turbo plays, he’s one of the best in the competition, that’s not even up for question. Unfortunately over the last few years he’s missed a fair amount of football, and that’s where clubs have to think closely about their salary cap. If a player is on a three or four-year deal, but he only plays 50 per cent of matches, how do you quantify what he’s actually worth?
It’s a really hard question, and the problem for Manly is simple. If they hadn’t signed Trbojevic on a big money deal, someone else would have.
Joey’s top-five players in the NRL
It’s a huge balancing act. The coach and the management have to decide which path they want to go down.
It’s the same at the Dragons.
Ben Hunt is always under the microscope but I think he’s been great. I feel sorry for him that the amount he earns is a constant source of criticism, because it’s just not warranted.
It comes down to cap management, including what sort of demand there is at the time you sign the player. If a player is in demand then sometimes you need to give them an extra year on the contract, or an extra $100,000.
Ben Hunt often finds himself under scrutiny. (NRL)
The club then has to work out whether it’s worth the extra length on the deal, or the extra money, and balance that with what it costs to replace a player. Often it costs more to get a replacement, or it might cost you the same to get a replacement who’s not quite as good as the player you’re losing. That’s where the clubs have to make the tough decisions.
There are times when those decisions don’t pay off, but you don’t know that until 2-3 years later. It’s a professional sport, the players have to earn as much money as they can, but sometimes the big-money, long-term deal doesn’t work out, and that’s when the clubs find themselves under fire.
The single scenario that highlights this perfectly is at Parramatta, where they’ve signed Josh Hodgson to replace Reed Mahoney. That’s the exact situation where a club might have been better off spending a bit more to keep their current player, or maybe going the extra year on the deal.
In my opinion, Hodgson will be paid roughly what Mahoney is being paid, but Mahoney is 24-years-old and Hodgson is about to turn 33, and has missed this season after doing his ACL.
Reed Mahoney is joining the Bulldogs in 2023. (Getty)
Hodgson has been a terrific player, but if you’re thinking long-term, if they’re earning similar amounts then Mahoney is the better value bet. We won’t know for a few years, but I suspect if we look back in 2025 we might see that the Eels would have been better meeting Mahoney’s demands.
The problem for clubs is if they screw up the cap, it can ruin you for years. It’s not something that can be fixed in 12 months. It generally takes about three years to get it back on track. And the problem is, during that time, unless you can somehow manage to have some on-field success, or you have a coach or player who can attract talent, you’re going to struggle to get other big names to come to the club .
Then you’ve got to pay overs to get a big name to allow you to sign other big names, and the whole process ends up dragging on for five years.
The Wests Tigers have been in disarray for 10 years. It’s been a massive problem for them. If you stuff it up, you’re looking at three years to fix the mess on the money side of things, then another three years to fix the on-field problems and get the playing group right.

It’s a massive challenge, and the Tigers are the perfect example of how long you can be in exile for if you get it wrong. They haven’t played finals since 2011, and right now they’re sitting in last place.
They’ve got a junior nursey at Campbelltown that should rival Penrith and Parramatta, so don’t get me started on the fact they’ve just established their center of excellence at Concord.
They should be hidden at Campbelltown. I’m sure they’ve got a plan as to why they’re at Concord, but it really doesn’t make sense.
It’s really important their best juniors don’t get poached because that’s where Penrith has done so well, the good juniors want to stay at the club.
Penrith are going so well on the field, and the facilities are so good, the kids don’t want to leave. You look at the Tigers, what’s the gun 16 or 17-year-old from Campbelltown got to look forward to? They’ve done nothing for a decade, and their amazing new center of excellence is at Concord.
Wests Tigers have struggled for a decade. (Getty)
The Penrith approach has been to get the marquee player right – Nathan Cleary – and surround him with young talent who are not necessarily earning massive amounts. But there comes a time when that’s not going to work, because as the other players around Clearly develop into stars in their own right, they come off contract and they need to start putting themselves first.
They’re now premiership-winners and State of Origin players, and at market value it becomes tricky for Penrith to keep them all. That’s where you’ve got to regenerate, and fortunately for them the Panthers have the largest nursey in the game.
There comes a time when you come off contract, and you put your hand out for more money, but it all depends on what you want out of your career. If you’re just there for the money, it’s all about you. But at the end of the day, rugby league is a team sport and you shouldn’t have that attitude.
It’s the reason some clubs are better than others, despite having the same salary cap to spend. They have a better culture, a winning feeling, and that means players want to play there, and they’ll take less money to do so.
To win premierships and have long-term success you need at least six or seven players willing to stay for less money than they could earn elsewhere. If you get that, you’re in business.

Playing rugby league when you’re losing week-in, week-out is no fun at all. When you sign your contract, you might think the money is great, but you’d give up at least $50,000 a year to be in a winning side.
To be at Penrith, you’d sign for $500,000, when you might be worth $600,000.
It’s a totally different situation. You turn up to training and you’re having fun. The last four or five years of my career, we had success at Cronulla, we won a comp, played in preliminary finals, and it was so enjoyable.
There’s no worries in the world, the game is fun, training is enjoyable. Early in my career we were struggling and it was a real grind to get going. It wasn’t enjoyable.
Everyone trains so hard in pre-season, you’re getting flogged. If you’re doing the pre-season thinking that if you have a great year you might just sneak into the semis, it’s hard.
There’s pros and cons to every approach to the salary cap, and there’s no correct answer. It’s what works best for each club.

Paul Green’s life in pictures: From Sharks prodigy to premiership-winning coach
Decades-long secrecy orders have been made over files related to former senior morrison government minister Christian Porter’s now-settled defamation case against the ABC.
The former MP denied the allegations.

That legal action, settled outside the Federal Court in May 2021, sprouted a protracted battle over a judge’s ruling that disqualified prominent silk Sue Chrysanthou SC from representing Porter.
The final chapter in the legal saga closed on Monday with the former MP agreeing to pay substantial legal costs after failing to overturn the disqualification order.
After ruling on costs, the Full Court of the Federal Court ordered the unredacted versions of certain exhibits to remain secret for at least a decade.
One document tendered in the legal battle was ordered to remain suppressed until 2052.
ABC Managing Director David Anderson revealed the court battle with Christian Porter cost the broadcaster $780,000. (Alex Ellinghausen)
Mr Porter had appealed the disqualification of Chrysanthou and about $500,000 in potential costs after losing a legal battle against the friend of a woman who allegedly raped her in 1988.
That friend, Jo Dyer, consulted with Chrysanthou about a potential defamation claim against News Corp for an article in The Australian in November 2020, providing confidential information that was potentially relevant to Porter’s lawsuit against the ABC, Justice Tom Thawley found in May last year.
On appeal, Porter argued Dyer hadn’t provided confidential information to Chrysanthou and disputed the information could potentially be misused in his defamation lawsuit.
But the Full Court found there was a chance the leading barrister may have received material outside of what Porter could obtain through his case against the ABC, even if Chrysanthou had since forgotten that information.
“It is no answer that Ms Chrysanthou had forgotten things: one cannot exclude the possibility that recollection can be triggered or of subconscious derivative use,” Justice Michael Lee wrote in July.
“Although Ms Chrysanthou was mistaken in the judgment she formed (to represent Mr Porter), no finding was made by the primary judge that her view was not formed in good faith.”
Chrysanthou also lost an appeal against Dyer over her disqualification, with the court on Monday ordering each side pay their own costs.
A struggling Australian fitness franchise that has been savaged on the stock markets is now facing not one, but five potential lawsuits.
F45 Training Holdings Inc, known for its high intensity interval training (HIIT) classes, was at first an Australian success story after hitting the New York Stock Exchange in July last year and raking in $500 million on the first day.
But two weeks ago things drastically changed; the company’s founder and CEO Adam Gilchrist stepped down while 110 employees were laid off and expansion plans were slashed significantly.
Stock prices plunged off the back of the news and dipped to 62 per cent of its original price at its lowest, when it sank to $US1.35 ($A1.90) on July 27.
At time of writing, according to MarketWatch, F45 stock was trading at $US2.15 ($A3) compared to its listing price of $US16 ($A22.50) just a year earlier.
Now five heavyweight class action law firms from the US are calling for investors to come forward to explore the possibility of filing a class action.
The firms are investigating whether F45 misrepresented itself to investors and the most recent legal firm only announced it was investigating the company on Friday.
In July last year at its initial public offering, F45 sold 18.75 million shares of stock priced at $US16.00 per share.
It had a stunning $US1.46 billion ($A2 billion) market capitalization however that has since slipped to $US183.6 million ($A258.60).
In May, F45 thought it had secured a $US250 million ($A350 million) line of credit to keep rapidly expanding but by the next investor’s meeting in July, this had failed through.
But during the July trading update, investors learned that credit line would not be available.
After planning to roll out 1500 new franchises this year F45 will instead aim for between 350 and 450 and its forecasted revenue has dropped from $US275 million ($A387 million) to $US130 million ($A182 million).
F45 fitness founder and CEO Adam Gilchrist – not to be confused with the cricket player of the same name – reportedly immediately listed his house on the market after the downfall.
Coincidentally, the same weekend that another law firm announced it was investigating the possibility of a class action, Mr Gilchrist successfully sold his $A14 million Sydney home.
Mr Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch founded the company in 2013 in the Sydney suburb of Paddington but Mr Deutsch left in February 2020 and said he was devastated to hear what had happened since then.
“Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this,” Mr Deutsch wrote on Instagram after the shock news of the lay-offs. “When I exited, and sold out of F45, I left a healthy, phenomenal, beast of a business. All the way from the company culture to the heart beat of the business… The workouts. F45 was special.
“I genuinely hope all of the 110 laid-off staff, find happiness and opportunities elsewhere.”
News.com.au has contacted F45 for comment.
On Friday, US law firm Labaton Sucharow called for investors to get in touch, the latest in a string of legal firms circling F45 like sharks.
Prior to that, Schall Law Firm, a US shareholder rights litigation firm, announced last Tuesday that it was investigating F45 “for violations of the securities laws”.
Then there was Bragar Eagle & Squire, PC, another shareholder rights specialist, which started its own investigation a day later.
Bragar Eagel & Squire stated the company’s revenue was “down significantly” compared to what was previously promised to investors.
James Wilson of Faruqi & Faruqi also called for investors who have “suffered losses exceeding $US50,000 ($A70,450) investing in F45 Training stock or options”.
Portnoy Law Firm also weighed in, saying it was investigating “possible securities fraud” and that it would provide a “complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses”.
Embattled CEO sells home
Mr Gilchrist reportedly listed his Sydney mansion, located in Freshwater in the city’s northern beaches region, on the market following his company’s stock crash.
Over the weekend, it’s understood to be have been sold.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that strict gag orders prevented the real estate agents from disclosing its final price.
However, they did confirm it sold for more than he bought it for in 2019, which was $14 million.
Realestate.com.au reported that it sold more than $1 million over the reserve.
In the continuous back-and-forth between Sony and Microsoft over the upcoming $A100 billion Activision Blizzard merger, Microsoft recently stated that Sony sold over twice as many PlayStation units as Microsoft did with Xbox.
In January, Microsoft announced plans to acquire gaming developer Activision Blizzard – which would include acquiring games like Call of Duty, warcraft and Devil.
Sony is opposing the deal because of fears it would mean gamers desert PlayStation for Xbox to play Call of Duty.
While “console wars” are often childish arguments over which console is favoured, a real console war is brewing in the courts of Brazil.
Recently, the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense, or CADE, started hearings regarding the upcoming Activision Blizzard buyout by Microsoft.
Asking for amplifying information from competitors, Sony filed several objections, stating that they see no way to compete with Call of Dutywhich Microsoft would own as a result of the merger.
Microsoft fired back, stating that Sony pays developers to avoid publishing their games on the Xbox Game Pass platform and that Sony’s claims about being “unable to compete” ring hollow.
Thanks to GameLuster, additional information has been gleaned from the documents filed to counter Sony’s claims.
A translation of the documents read: “Sony has surpassed Microsoft in terms of console sales and install base, having sold more than twice as many Xbox in the last generation.”
Microsoft has avoided releasing sales information about the Xbox, starting back in 2015, claiming that they’d like to focus on aspects other than sales metrics.
Sony, on the other hand, recently released their sales metrics for the PlayStation 4, which confirmed that over 117 million sales of the popular console had been achieved.
Doing the maths, we can assume that Microsoft only sold around 60 million or fewer Xbox consoles during that time.
Just under 60 million is no small feat, granted, but it likely isn’t where Microsoft wanted the console to be.
Call of Duty is still planned to be sold on the PlayStation post-acquisition, with Microsoft making a point to state that it will honor all existing contracts.
Brazil is only the first country to begin hearings regarding the merger, with the United States, Europe and other regulatory bodies beginning their hearings soon.
It is expected that the fate of the massive Microsoft deal could be decided soon unless these hearings go south for the tech giant.
The 22-year-old recently wowed fans after sharing a bikini photo during a getaway to the British coastal town of Cornwall.
In the snap, the model could be seen wearing a cobalt blue string bikini with a white linen shirt worn loosely over the top.
Her blonde locks can be seen falling over her shoulders as she turns her face to lap up the UK’s summer weather.
Holly, the twin of the celebrity chef’s eldest son Jack, captioned the post: “Sun kissed.”
Fans of the “lifestyle influencer” have been quick to flood her post with streams of adoring comments, with many labeling the “stunning” photo.
“Hope you don’t mind me saying this but you look stunning in your photos,” one said.
“Absolutely beautiful,” another wrote.
Others commented on how “lovely” her $423 two-piece swimmers, from supermodel Heidi Klum’s bikini line, are.
“Such a lovely colour,” one wrote.
“That cossie looks great on you,” another said.
It’s not the first time Holly has wowed her 310,000 followers with a bikini photo – last year she caused a stir posing for a snap on a sun-soaked beach in the Maldives.
In the picture, Holly flaunted her abs in an orange patterned bikini as she relaxed on the sand after jetting off for a dreamy post-Christmas getaway at the end of December.
The relaxing break came after she celebrated one year sober following a secret battle with alcohol.
The daughter of the expletive-loving chef shared her milestone achievement with her Instagram followers and admitted it wasn’t easy.
Holly has previously opened up about being sexually assaulted twice at the age of 18, leading to a devastating battle with PTSD that saw her spend three months in a mental health hospital.
She bravely spoke of the ordeal for the first time in last August on her podcast 21 & Over.
The assaults took place when she was an 18-year-old university student and she credited her dad with helping her deal with the aftermath.
Holly is one of five of Gordon and Tana’s children, along with her twin Jack, sisters Megan, 24, and Tilly, 20, and youngest brother Oscar, 2.
