Infection had no role in nursery death - doctor
A doctor has told a court Genevieve Meehan's RSV bronchiolitis was not a factor in her death.
The New York Times' Rory Smith told the Monday Night Club that the "writing is on the wall" for Erik Ten Hag to be replaced at Manchester United, adding that the Red Devils have "massively regressed" under the Dutchman this season.
Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given added that it "doesn't look good" for Ten Hag ahead of Ineos' introduction at Old Trafford.

Manchester United and Manchester City will meet at Wembley on Saturday 25 May at 15:00 BST.
Here is a selection of the key facts and figures before Manchester United host Sheffield United in the Premier League on Wednesday (20:00 BST kick-off).
Manchester United have won just one of their past seven Premier League games and are without a victory in their past four. They last had a longer run without a league win in April/May 2019.
The Blades have lost their past five midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League games, shipping at least two goals in all four so far this term.
Manchester United have faced 20 or more shots in each of their past six Premier League games (157 total - 26.2 per game). Only Blackpool have had a longer such run since Opta started collecting data in 2003-04.
No Sheffield United player has been directly involved in more Premier League goals this season than Gustavo Hamer (four goals, five assists). He is one goal away from becoming only the third player to record five or more goals and five or more assists in a Premier League season for the Blades, after Brian Deane in 1992-93 (15 goals, 10 assists), and Dane Whitehouse in 1993-94 (five goals, six assists).
Bruno Fernandes has scored five goals in his past five league games, including in the past three. Only once has he scored in four consecutive league games for the Red Devils, doing so in February 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Image source, Getty ImagesErik ten Hag was on the front foot during Tuesday's pre-Sheffield United news conference.
The Manchester United boss was mildly irritated by being asked after Sunday's FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout victory over Coventry City if he was embarrassed by his team's performance.
Clearly that irritation has been festering over the intervening couple of days because he was ready with the answer, turning the criticism on the media.
And given I asked the first question, the answer was aimed at me.
I do not take that personally - and, in any case, Ten Hag is allowed to criticise who he likes.
But it is naive to believe he can manage a club the size of United, come within a toenail of being knocked out of the FA Cup by a lower league club - having been 3-0 up with 20 minutes left - and neutral observers not think they have been somewhat fortunate.

Manager Erik ten Hag has spoken to the media before Manchester United host Sheffield United in the Premier League on Wednesday (20:00 BST kick-off).
Here are the main lines from his news conference:
On if he understands why external reaction to Sunday's FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City on penalties has been more like that to a defeat: "No. Absolutely not. Someone asked the question after the game, 'is it embarrassing?' No, the reaction from you [the media] was embarrassing. Top football is about results. We made it to a final. To reach the final twice, in two years, is magnificent. For me, as a manager - four cup finals in four years. The comments are a disgrace."
On Antony celebration after the shootout, when he cupped his ears at the defeated Coventry players: "He was provoked. You saw the reaction not the provocation. But he should not do it."
On working with new technical director Jason Wilcox: "We will be very close. We have to form a partnership, that is very important. I met him for the first time yesterday. This week is busy, but next week we will speak. We are a little behind in the process so we will speed it up."
On the injury situation: "We had a problem with Garnacho - that's why we took him off during the game, but I think he will be fine. We have to assess Scott McTominay but he is really doubtful. Marcus Rashford is also doubtful. Bruno Fernandes has an issue with his hand but I think he can make it."
On Nottingham Forest's public statement on VAR Stuart Attwell and their defeat at Everton on Sunday: "You can't do that. You can agree or disagree. The handball for Wan-Bissaka [on Sunday] was totally wrong. It was a mistake but you can't question it. We should respect them referees."

Brentford striker Neal Maupay has offered a tongue-in-cheek take on Antony's celebrations against Coventry City.
Maupay, who infamously mocked Tottenham midfielder James Maddison's goal celebration earlier this year, posted "not even I would do this" to BBC Match of the Day on X.
At the conclusion of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final shootout after a 3-3 draw following extra time, Antony was spotted cupping his ears in victory at the deflated Sky Blues players, despite coming on as a substitute when Manchester United were winning 3-0.
His behaviour was a stark contrast to that of captain Harry Maguire, who immediately went to shake the opposing players' hands.
Ex-Coventry forward Clinton Morrison also criticised Antony on BBC Radio 5 Live, saying: "He needs to concentrate on himself because he could be playing in the Championship next season."

Manchester City’s fans were outstanding at Wembley on Saturday.
Despite having to absorb the cost of City playing in so many games in so many competitions, the east side of the stadium was a wash of sky blue and white, Blue Moon was belted out regularly, and it was great to see the inflatable bananas back!
I am still not sure how City managed to win the semi-final against Chelsea - their effort against Real Madrid in midweek had certainly taken its toll.
Many of the strong starting line-up Pep Guardiola had selected looked tired, gave the ball away too easily and did not move the ball quickly enough.
Jeremy Doku made a difference when he came on but what I think got us over the line was the team's determination, character and resilience, coupled with the disappointment of being knocked out of the Champions League just three days earlier.
Sadly, because of a large toenail, it is not going to be an all sky blue affair in the final on 25 May.

There were strong words on The Devils' Advocate podcast in the aftermath of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final.
Manchester United secured a spot in a showpiece final but the manner of their collapse and the close shave against Coventry City has left many scratching heads.

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton spoke to the Monday Night Club about Manchester United's drop in performance during their FA Cup semi-final victory against Coventry.
"I think their performance after 70 minutes was pretty symptomatic of the way Manchester United have played this season. They lost control, they couldn't regain control and that's been the issue all season," said Sutton.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
For this week's matches on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, he takes on actor Zack Morris, star of new thriller film Jericho Ridge.
Sutton's prediction: 0-2
City are, apparently, extremely tired but I looked at their bench for their FA Cup semi-final on Saturday and it wasn't too bad for a team that is so fatigued.
The Brighton of last season would have been very awkward opponents for Manchester City, but I am not so sure they offer the same test this year.
Still, there is no margin of error for Pep Guardiola's side. They have the advantage in the title race at the moment but even a draw changes things completely at the top of the table, so the pressure is on.
Zack's prediction: 1-3
City are going to be fine, aren't they? They are not going to walk away with this one, but they will still get the job done.

On the day Sir Jim Ratcliffe ran his eighth London Marathon, he will have left Wembley feeling like he had completed two laps after watching Manchester United just about book their place in a record 22nd FA Cup final.
The mood among United fans after Rasmus Hojlund's penalty ended Coventry City’s incredible onslaught was like nothing I’ve experienced before.
It felt like VAR hadn’t disallowed that last-gasp winner. It felt as if the final nail was in Erik ten Hag’s coffin. Maybe because it still is.
The Dutchman will rightly be under intensified scrutiny after a second half of similar embarrassment as the one in which Liverpool scored six of their goals in last season’s 7-0 mauling.
His players can’t escape the blame. They crumbled at the slightest sniff of adversity. Again.
But it is also damning for Ten Hag that his £86m signing - Antony - produced the most shameful act of the day after coming on when United led 3-0.
Antony was spotted cupping his ears in victory at Coventry’s spirited players hours after referring to Coventry as "Covertry" on social media.
In doing so, he demonstrated the profile of character Ineos must avoid and remove as they transform the club’s frail culture.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0
I am going to predict a Manchester United win here.
There was a guy who was quite abusive to me on X so I promised him I would pick Manchester United victories for the rest of the season, after I backed Coventry to beat them in the FA Cup.
I was nearly correct about Coventry too - as manager Mark Robins put it after their defeat, I was a toenail away from getting that one right.
As much as anything, it was the way Manchester United fell apart after being 3-0 up that was the worry for them on Sunday, but they did get through in the end.
I don't think this is a particularly good game for Erik ten Hag's side to face next though, against the team at the bottom of the table with nothing to lose.
The Manchester United players probably won't relish being expected to win easily again, just as they were against Coventry, but even they should be able to beat Sheffield United - surely.
Zack's prediction: 4-0
