“From what I have seen, the fans in Melbourne are not only the best in the league but they rival the atmosphere in Europe and I’m looking forward to being a part of that on the field in a Victory shirt and playing for them this season.” The winger played just once under Louis van Gaal - an appearance from the bench in the Dutchman's first Premier League game - before making a temporary and then permanent exit, but he still had his regrets five years on. However, Nani would eventually give his side of the story in 2019. While their time together in Manchester was a fruitful one, with back-to-back league titles and Champions League glory, Nani wasn't always on Ronaldo's good side. Like Ronaldo, Nani cut his teeth at Sporting CP, breaking into the first team in Lisbon as a teenager. Just seven years have passed since Nani left Old Trafford for good, but he's fit in a lot during that time.

"We are only in the second year of a major overhaul of the 100-year-old player development system and have made great strides to improve the quality of life for minor league players," an MLB spokesperson said in a statement. "This settlement is a monumental step for minor league players toward a fair and just compensation system," Garrett Broshuis, the attorney representing the players, said in a statement to multiple outlets. In the seventh, the Phillies took a 2-1 lead. I think this is where the other teams are as well.” If Bridges is untouchable in a deal for Durant, that should put a nail in the coffin of any chances for a swap that sends the superstar scorer to Phoenix. He did, however, indicate that the competition could very well be his final Open at St. Andrews, as due to the R A's rotation, the major likely won't be back at the "home of golf" until 2027 when Woods will be 51 years old. A trade for Durant that would require a historic haul of players and draft assets was cemented when the Utah Jazz scored an impressive four first-round picks plus players in return when they sent Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Following Durant’s trade request, the Suns were the team viewed as his preferred landing spot and a team that might have enough to secure a deal for the one-time league MVP.

British Open Odds Cameron Smith is currently in first place on the British Open leaderboard, and oddsmakers also have him priced as the favorite heading into the weekend at the Open Championship. He sits one shot ahead of the first-round leader Cameron Young and two shots ahead of the favorite Rory McILroy and Viktor Hovland, who charged up the leaderboard in the afternoon. According to a Reuters (h/t ESPN) piece, Williams will play in the National Bank Open held in Toronto that is scheduled to run from Aug. 6-15. After another incredible showing by him in today's second round, he is now the favorite to win The Open Championship, priced at +185.
