UNITED PLAY CATCH-UP IN TRANSFER WINDOW: After a few fairly quiet transfer windows, the Premier League teams are really loosening the purse strings in a bid to strengthen for the coming season, which begins in just over a week. After Manchester City got the ball rolling with big-money signings Ferran Torres and Nathan Ake, Chelsea splurged on Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr and Thiago Silva. While champions Liverpool have been fairly quiet, Manchester United are determined to closed the gap, and the signing of Donny van de Beek from Ajax showing they are determined to get back to the top of the table.
