Ruben Amorim apologised to Manchester United supporters after his reign reached a new low with a humiliating elimination from the League Cup by fourth-tier Grimsby Town on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

United appeared to have got out of jail at Blundell Park when Harry Maguire's 89th-minute header made it 2-2 after they had trailed 2-0 with a woeful first-half display.

But a marathon penalty shootout ended 12-11 in Grimsby's favour after new signing Bryan Mbeumo, who had begun United's fightback, saw his spot kick bounce back off the crossbar, according to Reuters.

Former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev has been handed a substantial fine for his behaviour in a extraordinary first-round exit, BBC reported.

Medvedev, 29, was knocked out of the Grand Slam tournament after a meltdown sparked by a photographer walking on to the court during his defeat by France's Benjamin Bonzi.

The former world number one has been fined almost £31,500 ($42,500) by the United States Tennis Association.

He was docked $30,000 for unsportsmanlike behaviour and another $12,500 for obliterating a racket against a chair, according to BBC.

It means the Russian will have to forfeit about 40% of the first-round prize money he received.

Shane Christie, former Highlanders and New Zealand Maori rugby player, has died at 39. Christie, who suffered multiple concussions during his career, suspected he had Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain condition linked to mood, memory, and behavioral changes, according to Al Jazeera.

He had planned to donate his brain to research to help make rugby safer and co-founded the Billy Guyton Foundation to raise awareness about concussion risks. Since retiring, he experienced headaches, memory lapses, and other symptoms linked to repeated head injuries.

New Zealand Rugby expressed condolences, praising Christie’s passion for the sport. The growing concern over CTE has also led over 1,000 former rugby players in the UK to pursue legal action against governing bodies, seeking compensation and reforms to protect player safety, Al Jazeera reported.

Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has retired from the Indian Premier League (IPL) and plans to play in other franchise leagues across the world, BBC reported.

Ashwin, 38, played for five franchises including the Chennai Super Kings - where he won the title twice in 2010 and 2011 - and is fifth on the all-time wicket-taker list with 187.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not allow any player in Indian international or domestic cricket to feature in overseas leagues.

"They say every ending will have a new start," Ashwin posted on social media, according to BBC.

"My time as an IPL cricketer comes to a close today but my time as an explorer of the game around various leagues begins today."
