Manchester United return to Premier League action with a spring in their step having miraculously secured David de Gea to a 4-year contract extension, and all in time to face the old enemy: Liverpool. With the Spaniard having seen a last-minute Deadline Day transfer to Real Madrid collapse due to a clerical foul-up, Ed Woodward’s success in seeing United’s No.1 put pen to paper is nothing short of miraculous. Whether it will stop de Gea moving back to Madrid in due course is another question entirely, but the fact that he has signed shows that: 1, he’s focused on the season ahead with United; and 2. Woodward has avoided the embarrassment of seeing arguably the world’s best goalkeeper leave for nothing next summer.
Brendan Rodgers team arrives at Old Trafford in decidedly lower spirits, having endured another uninspiring start to the campaign and without their most creative midfielder: Philippe Coutinho. Liverpool come into the fixture on a run of just one win in their last seven Premier League away games, while they’ve lost five of their last seven meetings with United.
