Benjamin Pavard started Inter Milan’s Serie A opener against Torino despite live transfer talks. Inter first listened to offers to cut costs, with Galatasaray pushing hardest, but grew reluctant to sell as the window neared its end.

Ruben Amorim says Kobbie Mainoo must compete directly with captain Bruno Fernandes for a Manchester United starting spot.

Amorim stuck to his shape, used Mason Mount in multiple roles, and turned to Ugarte late on. A League Cup tie against Grimsby now looks like Mainoo's next chance.
