The start of the 2025-26 campaign is closing in with both Manchester clubs hoping for improvement on their respective 2024-25 seasons.
After four years, Manchester City were finally dethroned as Premier League champions with their record-breaking run coming to an end. Pep Guardiola has made several changes to his squad this summer as he bids to take back the domestic crown he has won six times since moving to England.
For Manchester United, a deal for Benjamin Sesko adds serious threat to the club’s forward line. Ruben Amorim’s side finished 15th last term and dramatic improvement is expected ahead of the new season. They will be given a good marker of their progress this summer as they start the campaign at home to Arsenal.
For City, they kick off with a trip to Wolves.
