A few seasons back, Lukaku has left Chelsea, where Jose Mourinho worked at the time. The great Portuguese is working at Manchester United now and has purchased Romelu for 85 million dollars. Besides, Lindelof has come from Benfica, Januzaj has left, Ibrahimovic and Rooney are under question. Man Utd squad hasn’t changed much, but Lukaku’s transfer may strengthen the attack of the team.
It looks like Manchester City will completely change their right flank. Kyle Walker was bought from Tottenham on a right defender position. Bernardo Silva has come from Monaco, who played as a right winger. Caballero, Nolito, Zabaleta, Clichy, Enes Unal. Guardiola is noticeably changing the squad, strengthening the flank activity. Manchester City squad is now considered the most expensive in the EPL, but will it claim the championship title by the end of the season?
Last season, Manchester United are remembered by a good performance in defense, which allowed the team to win the Europa League and enter the Champions League. Jose Mourinho’s team will probably be extremely careful in defense and the Mancunian derby is always a derby despite the fact, where the match will be held, as every team wants to win.
