Police stop could have ended badly - Bakayoko

  AC Milan defender Tiemoue Bakayoko in a recent post said that Italian police who pulled him from his car at gunpoint this month after mistaking him for a shooting suspect "clearly put our lives in danger". A video of the 3 July police stop that went viral earlier this month showed the German defender with his hands up in the air and pressed to a patrol car being searched by a policeman. The video shows another officer pointing her pistol at an unseen passenger still inside Bakayoko's car during the search. After a few moments, another officer approaches Bakayoko and the policeman patting him down, says something, and the policeman releases Bakayoko.  Following the publication of the video, Milan police said Bakayoko and his passenger had been pulled over because they resembled the description of two suspects in a shooting case and denied the control was racial profiling. "The error is human, I have no problem with it, on the other hand I have a problem with the man...

Manchester United's Fernandes backs manager's strict timekeeping

  Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes welcomed new manager Erik Ten Hag's uncompromising attitude towards punctuality, saying the Premier League club had lacked discipline prior to the Dutchman's arrival. Ten Hag was appointed manager of the Manchester club in April, replacing interim coach Ralf Rangnick, and Fernandes said he was pushing United's players to improve their timekeeping from the outset. "We missed that for a while and discipline is important," Fernandes told reporters on Wednesday. "Discipline is not only the way you play, the position that you have, what you have to do; it's also off the pitch. "Don't be late for the meetings. Don't be late for the meals. That's really important, because if everyone is on time and someone comes late, he should be punished. "That's really good that he's doing that (fining players for being late) and amazing, because I like to be on time, so I won't have problems wit...
