Manchester United are set to kick off the Premier League season on Friday night with a match against Fulham at Old Trafford.
It has been a busy summer for the Red Devils, with Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada and Dan Ashworth joining the club’s hierarchy, while Erik ten Hag remained as manager despite much speculation over his future.
United have also been proactive in the transfer market, signing Dutch trio Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, along with French defender Lenny Yoro for a fee in excess of £150million.
And in the first episode of It’s all about to begin! In season two, Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton discussed United’s affairs in recent months.
Listen to It’s All Kicking Off! here:
Ladyman praised United for their early presence in the market and stressed the club’s desire to improve standards within the club after a disappointing campaign last time out.
Sutton echoed his co-host’s sentiments but pointed out that United still have the same manager, and claimed that the addition of Dutch players previously linked with Ten Hag, De Ligt and Mazaraoui feels a little ‘monotonous’.
