Four new arrivals were paraded on the pitch, including match-winner Zirkzee, while members of the club's revamped boardroom were also in attendance at Old Trafford, but some familiar frustrations remained as Man Utd struggled to find any rhythm.

At least 18 dead after landfill site collapses in Uganda's capital

Uganda Collapsed Landfill A vast landfill site in the Ugandan capital has collapsed, killing at least 18 people, the red cross  said. Fourteen other people were injured when the Kiteezi landfill, which serves as a waste disposal site for much of Kampala, collapsed late Friday.

The precise details of what happened were unclear, but the city authority said there was a “structural failure in waste mass.” Irene Nakasiita, a spokeswoman for the Uganda Red Cross, said the toll reached 18 after more bodies were retrieved from the scene Sunday. “The assessment is not yet completed,” she said, adding that rainfall was slowing the efforts of rescue teams digging through heaps of trash.
