Manchester United

Due to their participation in the later stages of the Europa League, Manchester United received one week more rest. Therefore, the start of the "red devils" in the Premier League was postponed to the second round.

In this transfer window, Manchester United are unusually passive. The Mancunians bought only central midfielder Donnie van de Beck from Ajax for 39 million euros. Of the other enhancements, we can only mention Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling and Dean Henderson who returned from leases. The latter was Sheffield United's main goalkeeper last season. Manchester United was also not involved in sales. The loudest transfer from Manchester United was the transfer of Alexis Sanchez to Inter as a free agent. But this has been planned for a long time.

Before the start of the season Manchester United played one friendly match. The Red Devils lost the least to Aston Villa (0:1).

Axel Tuanzebe, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones will definitely not play for Manchester United. Questionable is presence at the match of Paul Pogba.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace did not make any sudden moves in the transfer market.

The "eagles" did not win eight matches in a row in the last championship as well. However, Roy Hodgson's wards started well in the Premier League. Crystal Palace beat Southampton at home (1:0). True, the Eagles left the League Cup after that. Palace drew 0-0 against Bournemouth, losing to the Cherries on penalties.

Crystal Palace had successful friendly matches before the season. True, all the Eagles' rivals were clearly weaker than themselves. Palace beat Millwall (1:0), Oxford (2:1), defeated Charlton (3:0) and drew with Bronnby (1:1).

Interestingly, the Southampton Eagles won without a number of injured players. Currently, the Crystal Palace infirmary includes Patrick van Anholt, Nathan Ferguson, James Tomkins, Gary Cahill, Connor Wickham and Christian Benteke. The participation of Gyro Riedewald is questionable.
