The transfer window, complete with its deadline day denouement extravaganza, reached new levels of absurdity this year, with over £870million spent in the Premier League alone.

MM takes an in-depth look into where the money went this summer transfer window for both Manchester United and Manchester City, and what fans from both teams can now expect from the year to come.

The confidence created in the Manchester United squad from equalling the Champions League qualification record on Wednesday is clear to see as they prepare to face Swansea on Sunday.

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is full of respect for old boss Quique Sanchez Flores but knows the now Watford manager will make his promoted side a threat at the Etihad on Saturday.

Louis van Gaal says he won’t be dwelling on Manchester United’s return to the Champions League group stage ahead of a tough return to Barclays Premier League action this weekend.

After enduring a frustrating afternoon against Newcastle United on Saturday, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has reiterated that there is no urgent need for attacking reinforcements.

Louis van Gaal has leapt to the defence of Manchester United’s executive vice chairman Ed Woodward over the handling of club transfers after Spanish striker chose Chelsea over the 20-times league champions.

Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna says the Chelsea result is a thing of the past and with Argentine Nicolas Otamendi now in their ranks nothing less than three points against Everton on Sunday will do.

Following a double from Memphis Depay and at 2-1 up against Club Brugge, who were playing the final 10 minutes with 10 men, United were arguably deserving of a bigger lead to take to Belgium in their Champions League playoff until Marouane Fellaini returned to the first team fold with a priceless last-gasp header.

Bastian Schweinsteiger has thanked team mate Marouane Fellaini in allowing the iconic German to claim Manchester United’s no. 31 shirt.

It has been widely speculated that 28-year-old Barcelona winger Pedro is a target for Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, and last night the Spaniard gave the clearest hint yet that a move away from Barcelona’s Nou Camp is on the cards.
