Spain international De Gea has developed into arguably the world’s best goalkeeper since joining United from Atletico Madrid in 2011. After enduring a rocky start to life at the club, he has become a key player for United and, as such, has consistently been linked with moves away. Real Madrid have been mentioned as suitors particularly regularly and he came close to joining them in August 2015, before the deal fell through late on transfer deadline day....

The former team principal, appointed the sport’s new managing director for motorsport earlier in the week, told the BBC that the rules needed simplifying. “We all know the analogy of Leicester City – that would be the ideal in F1, when a good team on a great year with a great driver could really mount a challenge. But at the moment that’s not really possible,” he said. “The level of resource the top teams are using has made an enormous gap,” Brawn said....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The last thing members of Brazil’s Olympic sailing team want to talk about is the water. Presented to the international press as a team for the first time on Wednesday, the sailors were buffeted with questions about drug-resistant super bacteria and dangerous viruses found at Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic water-sports venues. Most of the 15 sailors tried to redirect the conversation to talk about building on Brazil’s impressive sailing history, and how to win on courses that may offer the most challenging combination of winds, currents and wave conditions ever at an Olympics....

It is the first time Messi has won FIFA’s flagship individual award since it split from the Ballon d’Or and rebranded in 2016.

Small wonder that faith in the peace accord is dwindling. On the West Bank last week, opponents of the deal swept student elections at Bir Zeit University, an important barometer of Palestinian opinion. Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasir Arafat sensed the political winds shifting, too; he joined Hamas (usually his radical foe) in calling for a three-day general strike after Aqal’s killing. Israeli support for the peace accord also seemed to fade....
But fresh starts for a company like Westinghouse aren’t so easy anymore. Westinghouse, which messed up its industrial businesses for decades and blew about 5 billion bucks in the financial-services biz, can’t just send the broadcasting company off to begin life anew. Reason: the Feds, specifically the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC), a little-known agency that guarantees workers’ pensions up to about $32,000 a year. Westinghouse, you see, has a hole in its pension fund big enough to swallow a few of the nuclear generators the company used to make during its heyday....
