New Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has found himself at the centre of controversy in his very first game for the club after getting away with what many fans felt was a stonewall penalty. The Cameroonian shot-stopped, who as a summer signing from Inter Milan, had impressive debut at Old Trafford where he managed to keep a clean sheet against an otherwise impressive Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are tipped to be relegated this season. Despite this Wolves were largely the better side but failed to take their chances whereas a lacklustre United did manage to score on 76 minutes thanks to a close-range header from French defender Raphael Varane.

As the away team piled on the pressure Onana came to claim a cross but managed to miss the ball completely and instead clattered Sasa Kalajdzic which incensed the Wolves manager Gary O'Neil who believed it should have been a penalty. Indeed this consensus was shared amongst many fans who compared Onana's antics to WWE wrestler or a Street Fighter character. Regardless of this criticism, Onana will be looking to continue his good start at United when the Red Devils travel to London on Saturday to face Tottenham Hotspur.

A US study has revealed that sexual activity in older people is linked to better cognitive function later. The study by sociologists Shannon Shena from Hope College and Hui Liub from Purdue University, published in The Journal of Sex Research looked at attention, memory, language, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation and found that sex is linked to better brain health across all age groups. Those aged 75 to 90 were found to have significantly better cognitive function five years on if they were currently having sex at least once a week. For adults aged 62 to 74, on the other hand, the most important factor for future brain health was the quality of sex being had, in terms of both physical and emotional aspects. "As seen in our sample, promoting sexual quality among younger-old couples may be a way to combat the interruptions which people anticipate to come with aging," Shena and Luib said "and these feelings of sexual quality may manifest in their later cognitive health." Shena and Liub think there are several reasons why these results could be the case. Sex involves physical exercise, which means improved cognitive performance may be due to improved cardiovascular health, which, in turn, can increase blood flow to the brain and reduce inflammation. Sex can also reduce stress, and stress is thought to prevent the neuronal growth in some parts of the brain associated with memory. Finally, sex may improve cognitive function through the release of dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter linked to improved memory. "Our findings help to contextualize a multifaceted understanding of healthy aging and speak to clinical practices and policy decisions regarding cognitive health," Shena and Luib wrote, "and in particular how it may be related to sexual life, an often overlooked area for older adults."
