Manchester United are the headline attraction today as we serve up four more Premier League team guides.

With the opening top-flight match just eight days away, read all about United and check out in-depth profiles of Newcastle, Norwich and Southampton.

All the latest transfer news is also on the menu as Jack Grealish edges ever closer to becoming a Manchester City player. 

Team guides

After finishing as runners-up in 2020-21, can Manchester United go one better this season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

We run the rule over the Red Devils and consider whether new arrivals Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane can help bring a long overdue title to Old Trafford.

It has been another frustratingly quiet summer on Tyneside for Newcastle fans and optimism is not exactly flowing ahead of the new campaign at St James’ Park.

Are the stars aligning for a season of struggle for Steve Bruce or will the Magpies exceed expectations?

Norwich slipped through the Premier League trapdoor in disappointng fashion in 2019-20. 

But they were rewarded for sticking with boss Daniel Farke last season by romping back to the top flight at the first attempt.

It could be another season of struggle for the Canaries but they will hope lessons learned from previous survival attempts can see them secure safety.

Southampton endured a mixed campaign under Ralph Hasenhuttl after a promising start, with 15 defeats coming in their final 21 league outings.

The Saints have only made low-key additions so far this summer and must now learn to live without star striker Danny Ings, who has joined Villa. 

Transfer news

Grealish’s switch to City is expected to be completed imminently, marking arguably the biggest deal of the summer to date.

With less than four weeks until deadline day, teams are stepping up their efforts in the transfer market.
