After a disappointing 2022/23 campaign which saw Liverpool slip into fifth place, Jürgen Klopp’s men have started the new campaign well and will be eager to maintain this momentum.
Four points against Chelsea and Bournemouth marks a strong return but a tough clash against Eddie Howe’s Champions League operators Newcastle United now looms, as the Reds travel to St James’ Park on Sunday.
With strong investment from most clubs in the top flight of English football, the league is arguably at the strongest it has ever been. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United will all be looking to challenge last seasons treble winners Manchester City for the title.
While the likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brighton and Hove Albion now pose a real threat to the usual contenders, after all breaking into European places last season.
Here, Liverpool.com takes a scan around the other big sides in the Premier League and around Europe to take a look at the news going on at the other clubs. Today, Manchester United looks to be busy with a couple of players having been linked with Liverpool in the past on the agenda.
Erik ten Hag’s side has already recruited heavily across the summer transfer window, with Mason Mount, André Onana and Rasmus Højlund all arriving at Old Trafford for more than $200m.
Despite their heavy investment, the Red Devils are seemingly ready to target their next signing following a poor start to the season as they scraped past Wolverhampton Wanderers with a 1-0 win and lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness, United are in the hunt for another striker with new signing Højlund currently out injured. Ten Hag is supposedly set to offer just over $27m (£22m/€25m) for Santos striker Marcos Leonardo, who is also being monitored by AS Roma as they look to replace injured striker Tammy Abraham.
