Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, discusses his future at the club before their match against Burnley. Lionel Messi made a stunning return, scoring twice to help Inter Miami defeat Orlando City and secure a spot in the Leagues Cup Final. Messi equalized from the penalty spot in the 77th minute and then netted another goal in the 88th minute with an assist from Jordi Alba. Manchester United faced a disappointing Carabao Cup exit after losing in a lengthy penalty shootout against League Two Grimsby. Canadian men's national team coach Jesse Marsch explained the absence of Jonathan Osorio from the squad for the September FIFA window and expressed his satisfaction with including Junior Hoilett. Preston North End's Daniel Jebbison was initially deemed unfit to play by Marsch but may be called up to replace Cyle Larin, who is expecting a child. Atlanta United's Jayden Hibbert will join the Canadian national team for the upcoming FIFA window, with Marsch expressing his belief that Hibbert intends to commit to representing Canada. Marsch also discussed the improvements he hopes to see in midfielder Ismael Kone's game.
