Liverpool got off to a stuttering start against Fulham, Arsenal and Chelsea secured wins, while Tottenham and Manchester City kicked off their seasons with imperious victories.

Manchester United, on the other hand, had a weekend to forget as the debut of ‘Ten Hag ball’ fell woefully flat at Old Trafford.

However, there is still time for the Dutchman to work and, if he is given the backing he needs, he is more than capable of restoring former glories at the Theatre of Dreams.

In fact, he has it his disposal some of the more exciting talents in the Premier League according to the data over on TransferMarkt.

Of the 20 most valuable under 21 players in the Premier League right now, three are on the books at United.

Not even close. Saka is absolutely miles ahead of the competition and with good reason.

Considering what he has already been through in his career, it can be so easy to forget that the youngster, who is quickly becoming the beating heart of Arsenal, is just 20 years old at the time of writing.
