MAN UNITED

WHAT’S NEW: No Rooney, no Zlatan — for now — but they have better balance. Jose Mourinho has greater defensive options after signing Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic that could allow Paul Pogba to flourish.

BIG SIGNING: Snatching Romelu Lukaku from the clutches of Chelsea underlined United still had pulling power. Inter’s Ivan Perisic could prove a late addition.

BOOKIES SAY: Will push rivals all the way. WE SAY: If Lukaku carries on where he left off, United will be a real force. SPENT £145.8m Players in: 3 Received: £17.3m
