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.
Bicycle kicks are good and also Eden Hazard is good. With that being said, the winner of this video is the person who added the music after Hazard hammered an overhead in Belgium training:
