Ronaldo warn Angel Di Maria of the responsibility of Man united number 7

Cristiano Ronaldo has warned Angel Di Maria that filling the No. 7 shirt at Manchester United will be "a big responsibility" but has backed him to rise to the challenge.

Di Maria will be following in the footsteps of Ronaldo in wearing the No. 7 after the Argentine's 59.7 million-pound move from Real Madrid. Other United greats, including George Best and Bryan Robson, also wore the shirt.

Speaking at the Champions League draw in Monaco, Ronaldo added that he was relishing the prospect of facing Liverpool in Europe, but that Real were determined to hold on to their crown even without the likes of Di Maria, to whom he sent a message of support.

"I wish the best to him, he deserves it, he's a fantastic player, he's going to do well at Manchester United," said Ronaldo. "And I said to him 'Number seven is a big responsibility', but I think he will be able to take that shirt because he's a fantastic player.

"Personally, it's a shame for me because I liked Di Maria, a very important player for us as was Xabi Alonso (who is understood to be on the verge of joining Bayern Munich). They are situations that happen in football, players come and players go.

"They are decisions of the club. We have bought very well with players like James [Rodriguez], [Keylor] Navas and [Toni] Kroos and for that reason we are in good condition with a great squad."

Ronaldo admitted he was surprised at United's poor start to the season, saying: "A little bit, yes. But it's still early."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tie the knot in France

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are now a married couple, the Associated Press broke the news. A spokesperson for the couple confirms the pair tied the knot in a private ceremony in France on Saturday, August 23 in front of family and friends.

The non-denominational civil ceremony took place at the couple's Chateau Miraval in the village of Correns. The powerhouse couple reportedly obtained a marriage license beforehand from a California judge, who was also on hand to conduct the nuptials in France.

All their six children took part in the ceremony. Sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 11, accompanied their mother walk down the aisle. Daughters Zahara, 9, and Vivienne, 6, threw flower petals, while Shiloh, 8, and Knox, 6, served as ring bearers.

Pitt, 50, and Jolie, 39, started dating after meeting on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2005. Pitt once said the movie was one of his favorites "because you know... six kids. Because I fell in love." The actor proposed to Jolie in 2012.

The pair will share screen again in "By the Sea" which she scripted. In the meantime, she is finishing her second directorial project "Unbroken", while he is promoting his latest flick "Fury". On Thursday during a photocall in Dorset, he reportedly flashed his wedding band.

Fernando Torres set for AC Milan

What seem likely to be Fernando Torres' final days at Chelsea have passed rather agonisingly, with there being little secret that the club are desperate to move him on. They may get their wish soon: The Telegraph says that discussions are well afoot with Torres' representatives about how to get him to AC Milan, with Jose Mourinho and company preferring to get him off their hands on a permanent deal rather than a loan. It's looking complicated though, and so too is Chelsea's pursuit to Torres' potential replacement, Roma striker Mattia Destro. Now that the Italians have sold defender Mehdi Benatia to Bayern Munich for 24 million pounds, they consider themselves well placed for a game of hardball. Alternatives apparently include Jackson Martinez and, intriguingly, Loic Remy.

More than 3m have fled syria- UN

Syria is now "the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era" with almost half of all Syrians forced to flee their homes.

The majority of refugees have fled to countries neighbouring Syria, with 1.14 million now seeking shelter in Lebanon.

More than 190,000 have been killed in Syria's three-year civil war.

Opposition groups in Syria have been fighting forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad since his government suppressed protests against his rule in March 2011.

The situation has been worsened in recent months by the formation and advance of the Islamic State group, which now controls large swathes of Syria and Iraq.

'Exhausted and scared'

The UNHCR says one in every eight Syrians has fled across the border and a further 6.5 million are displaced within Syria - more than half of them children.

Families arriving at refugee camps in neighbouring countries are exhausted and scared, with some having spent a year or more fleeing from village to village inside Syria.

The UN agency says the journey out of Syria is also becoming tougher, with many people forced to pay bribes to armed gangs. 

Where Syrian refugees are

1,175,504 in Lebanon

832,508 in Turkey

613,252 in Jordan

215,369 in Iraq

139,090 in Egypt

23,367 in North Africa

6.5 million others are displaced within Syria

In addition to the registered refugees, Syria's neighbours estimate that hundreds of thousands more Syrians have sought sanctuary in their countries - causing enormous strain.

"The Syrian crisis has become the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era, yet the world is failing to meet the needs of refugees and the countries hosting them," said Antonio Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

"The response to the Syrian crisis has been generous, but the bitter truth is that it falls far short of what's needed."

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Go Horseback Riding Together

Justin Bieber has shared more photos from his visit to his home country of Canada. The "As Long As You Love Me" singer, who is joined by his on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez during his trip, uploaded photos of him, Gomez and some other people having a horseback riding session on Thursday, August 28.

Another photo Bieber uploaded on Instagram shows him trying out a cowboy hat. Staring at the camera, the pop star wrote, "They gave me the sad cowboy hat." He also shared a photo showing a silhouette of a man riding a horse.

Bieber, who previously shared some photos of him and Gomez during their flight, was seen holding hands with the girlfriend when they were at the airport. The 20-year-old star wore a red top, gray pants and white sneakers while the "Rudderless" star opted for a black top, white ripped pants and boots.

An eyewitness previously told E! News that the pair were spotted at a Tim Hortons restaurant. "They came in and ordered a bunch of food and drinks. They ordered paninis and crispy chicken sandwiches and doughnuts. They had bodyguards with them, so some of the food may have been for them too," the source said.
