Sir Jim Radcliffe: The new Premier League will kick off on Friday with Manchester City aiming for a fifth consecutive title in what may (or may not) be Pep Guardiola and Kevin de Bruyne's last season at the club, while Arsenal look to go one better than last season, when they pushed Manchester City to the last match of the season. Manchester City have lost Julian Alvarez, but new arrival Savio impressed last season as he helped Girona finish third in Spain.

Arsenal have brought in defender, Riccardo Calafiori in another quiet summer in the transfer market, but are still pursuing Spain international midfielder, Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad, reports Xinhua. The title race promises to be thrilling, but there is a lot more to watch out for as Erik ten Hag looks to improve on last season at Manchester United, where Sir Jim Radcliffe looks to be imposing some kind of coherent thinking on the club.

Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui should give Ten Hag more all-round options, with De Ligt a long-term target for Ten Hag.
