Manchester United dream attacking line-up once Sir Jimcliffe completes £55m Xavi Simon transfer – Premier league title this season is coming back home next season

Manchester United began their pre-season with a disappointing 0-1 loss to Rosenborg in Norway, a result that highlighted the challenges of fielding a young and understaffed senior squad.

He has undergone rigorous fitness training at Carrington and is likely to play around 45 minutes as he gradually returns to full fitness.

### Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho’s return is eagerly anticipated, making the game against Rangers a
