CRISTIANO RONALDO’S eighth-minute goal for Portugal beat World Cup hosts Russia 1-0 in a Confederat­ions Cup game in Moscow. His former Real Madrid team-mate Angel di Maria has received a oneyear jail sentence and fine of £1.76million after admitting Spanish tax fraud but the midfielder is unlikely to serve any time behind bars. REECE OXFORD, 18, is to spend next season on loan with Borussia Monchengla­dbach from West Ham. OXFORD manager Michael Appleton has left to become assistant to Craig Shakespear­e at LEICESTER. HUDDERSFIE­LD have made a club record £11.5m bid for Montpellie­r striker Steve Mounie, 22. AFC WIMBLEDON have taken another stride towards an emotional return to their spiritual home at Plough Lane. Plans to build a home for the League One club, yards from the site of the ground where they played from 1912 to 1991, can proceed after a decision not to protect the greyhound stadium with listed-building status. The club hope to play at the initial 11,000-capacity ground in two years. BAYERN MUNICH have dismissed speculatio­n linking Robert Lewandowsk­i with a move to MANCHESTER UNITED or CHELSEA. The Bundesliga giants are adamant that their Poland striker, 28, will be staying and suggested any club seeking to negotiate directly with the player first would be reported to FIFA. JOE HART is keeping his options open — and that includes staying at MANCHESTER CITY. WEST HAM are keen on a one-year loan, but the England No 1 would prefer a permanent switch and won’t be forced out by City. WATFORD have offered £4m for Derby midfielder Will Hughes, 22, with add-ons worth up to a further £4m.
