Manchester United are just a few days away from the start of their Premier League campaign, though preparations haven't gone quite as smoothly as Erik ten Hag would have hoped.
Superb victories over Liverpool, Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace saw United kick off their pre-season with a bang, but some disappointing results since then coupled with transfer dramas have turned the atmosphere at Old Trafford a little sour.
The Frenkie de Jong pursuit shows no signs of nearing a conclusion despite now being into its fourth month. And to make matters worse, Chelsea are reportedly keen to bring the Dutchman to Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, the Cristiano Ronaldo drama rumbles on. Ten Hag has reflected on Ronaldo's decision to leave the friendly with Rayo Vallecano early, with the United boss admitting it was not acceptable.
