Manchester United transfer news RECAP Sir Alex Ferguson breaks silence on Ten Hag appointment

Manchester United will today continue their preparations for their Premier League clash against Chelsea on Thursday.

Following Saturday's defeat to Arsenal, United's slim hopes of reaching the Champions League were seemingly dashed. Nuno Tavares, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka were all on the scoresheet to ruin United's trip to North London.
