Ben Chilwell - LB - Leicester - £70M
We were in need of another left-back, whether or not they were 1st choice or 2nd choice because we can not rely solely on Luke Shaw thanks to his injury problems. Chilwell is also only 21 years of age with huge potential and fits our home-grown status. Although we paid the £70M "ultimate" for this home-grown player, I hope we can justify his price tag as we deal with upcoming Brexit rule changes.
Enzo Millot - RW - AS Monaco - £800K
Enzo is a player who had not agreed to a professional contract at AS Monaco, so we decided to try and sign him with our limited budget and thankfully we could afford the measly compensation fee of £800K.
TRANSFERS OUT
James Garner - CM - Wycombe - Loan
I decided that a loan deal would be best for James and although we did not get many outstanding offers for him, Wycombe did give him a chance to play lots of games in the Sky Bet League One.
Arnau Puigmal - CM - Yeovil - Loan
Nishan Burkart - ST - Aldershot - Loan
Aliou Traore - CM - Bromley - Loan
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLIES
We started off our pre-season with a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa but we finally found a formation to settle on as we smashed AS Monaco 6-2. We then recorded a 3-0 and 4-0 win over Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, respectively. This was a great chance for our young players to show their worth which is exactly what the trio of Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong were doing. We followed up our great form with a 13-0 win but our winning streak ended following a 1-1 draw with Bayern. We made up for it with a 2-0 and 1-0 win over Spurs and Juve, respectively. Now that we were in August, we had two very tough friendlies and we have to make the most of them, which is exactly what we did as Barca were beaten 7-1 and we recorded a good enough 1-0 win over Real Madrid.
PRE-SEASON ODDS
Title Odds
We've been predicted to finish 4th with Chelsea in front of us, although I believe we can surpass them and hopefully finish 3rd.
Golden Boot Odds
Salah, Kane and Aguero are the 3 main favourites while Rashford is tipped to be our best chance of winning the award.
Top Player Odds
Salah is once again in the mix for an award as he is tipped to be the Top Player. Paul Pogba is understandably predicted to be our best chance of winning the award.
Top Young Player Odds
Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva are the two main favourites while Anthony Martial is predicted to be our best chance of winning the award and if I am being honest, I believe Anthony Martial is going to impress this season in our fluid attack.
Next Update: August & September 2018
Looch
We started off our Premier League campaign with a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace where Rashford got a hat-trick. Our first away game is against Newcastle, whom we beat 3-1 thanks to Greenwood, Chong and Herrera. Unfortunately, we ended off the month with a 0-0 draw against Burnley.
LEAGUE TABLE
After 3 matches, we sit 5th in the table with plenty of time to rise up.
SEPTEMBER 2018
We had a pretty good month here which started off with a 2-0 win over Spurs followed by a 4-3 loss to Arsenal. We then recorded a 2-2 draw against PSG followed by a 2-1 win over Everton. We then finished off the month with two away 4-1 wins which were against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup 3rd round and Leicester City in the league.
LEAGUE TABLE
We have now risen up to 3rd place and we are trailing 1st place by 3 points following a strong month.
Next Update: October & November 2018
Looch
We started off October with a clean sheet in our 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg. We had a big match against Chelsea away from home in which we lost by a goal. Next up, we beat Hoffenheim 2-0 and Bournemouth 2-1. Our clean sheet against Cardiff in our 3-0 win was a great way to sum up our defensive solidarity this month.
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit 4th after a solid month while Lukaku is 2nd in the highest average rating.
NOVEMBER 2018
We had a good month which mainly circulated about the rise of Tahith Chong who contributed important goals to our 3-1 wins over Cardiff and Huddersfield. In the Champions League, we beat Hoffenheim 4-0 but lost to PSG by a sole goal. Following the international break, we recorded a 4-0 win over Fulham where 3 different English players contributed to the 4 goals.
LEAGUE TABLE
We have risen up to 3rd and Chong is 3rd in most assists as he has already racked up 6 assists.
MANAGER OF MONTH
We won Manager of the month in November thanks to our great performances and 100% win ratio.
NEW CONTRACT
Following our solid form, my contract has been extended by 2 more years until June 2021.
Next Update: December & January 2018/19
Looch
We had a pretty rough and intense month which started off with two derby losses against Liverpool and Man City 2-1 and 2-3. We followed it up with a 1-0 win over Southampton while our strong Champions League campaign continued thanks to our 6-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg. Our rough schedule continued as we beat Wolves 1-0 but succumbed to a 3-2 loss against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Quarter Final. Our month ended off with 3 EPL games in a week where we drew with Palace 0-0, beat Watford 3-1 and got upset by Brighton 3-1.
LEAGUE TABLE
We had a tough month but we are still doing well as we remain inside the top 4 while Anthony Martial has racked up 6 assists.
BIGGEST WIN
We've recorded the biggest win in Premier League history and are the first team to win by a double-digit scoreline.
FRENCH PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Anthony Martial has come runner-up in the French Footballer of the Year award.
BALON D'OR
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Balon d'or while Messi came runner-up as Griezmann rounded out the top 3.
WORLD TEAM X11 OF THE YEAR
Good to see one of our own at least make the bench.
JANUARY 2019
We had a pretty strong month but in particular, it was thanks to our 10-0 win over Newcastle in which Paul Pogba contributed to 5 of the goals. This is officially our biggest win in history and is a sign of the peak level our team can reach. Our goalscoring form continued in our 4-1 win over Lincoln and 3-3 draw against Burnley. We had two important games against the teams of London but although we lost against Spurs 1-0, we recovered to beat Arsenal in the Prem 4-0 while we made up for our draw against Burnley by knocking them out of the FA Cup.
LEAGUE TABLE
Even though we have fallen to 5th place, Chong has 9 assists while De Gea has kept 9 clean sheets.
Next Update: February & March 2019
Looch
Putting aside our 4-0 loss to Everton, we had a very strong month as we recovered to smash Leciester 5-0 while beating Spurs in the FA Cup, recording a draw vs Atletico while beating Chelsea and West Ham in the Premier League.
LEAGUE TABLE
A good month has led to us rising to the top 4 while Lukaku and Martial lead the way for highest average rating while Chong and De Gea have hit double digits for assists and clean sheets, respectively.
YOUTH INTAKE
We have had an amazing youth intake this year at Manchester United with Brian Docker looking to be the standout player. He is a hard-working midfielder with great leadership attributes while we have a very technical playmaker in Justin Lentell and a tough-tackling defender in Sutton while Morton appears to be a good winger for our younger sides.
MARCH 2019
We've had a solid month here in which Mason Greenwood scored 4 goals in the 3 matches he started. Our Premier League campaign is continuing to go strong as we beat Bournemouth 4-0, Cardiff 5-0 and Fulham 1-0 while we advanced in the Champions League in absolutely crazy scenes as Pogba converted a 95th-minute penalty to let us win otherwise we would've lost on away goals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to play the strongest team thanks to our effort that we put in against Atletico Madrid and therefore Liverpool ended our FA Cup campaign in a 2-1 loss against our bitter rivals.
LEAGUE TABLE
With 6 matches remaining, we are 3rd place ahead of Spurs by 5 points and Arsenal by 7 points so we should be safe in terms of making Champions League qualification. Chong is continuing to impress with 12 assists now while De Gea has racked up 14 clean sheets now.
Next Update: April & May 2019
Looch
We've had an amazing month as we advanced through to the Champions League semi-final thanks to Chong getting a hat-trick in both legs against Roma while we beat Huddersfield, Southampton, Liverpool and Wolves in the Premier League. Although we lost the Manchester Derby, we've managed to have a very promising and impressive month.
LEAGUE TABLE
We are confirmed to finish in 3rd place and we might even finish runner-up if we manage to leapfrog Liverpool. Chong is on 15 assists and Martial is on the highest average rating.
MANAGER OF THE MONTH
A very strong month resulted in us winning the Premier League Manager Of The Month despite playing Liverpool and Man City, who are making up the top 2 right now.
MAY 2019
It's hard to describe this month because Liverpool knocked us out of the Champions League after beating us 5-0 on aggregate but we also beat Brighton 7-0 and Watford 3-1 in the Premier League.
LEAGUE TABLE
The 2018/19 Premier League season has ended with us finishing 3rd with 84 points, 1 point behind Liverpool who finished runner-up. Man City set a high standard as they finished the campaign with 95 points and we are going to have to improve next season if we are to catch up to that level. The London trio of Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea were all fighting for the 4th Champions League spot and there was only a 3 point difference between all of them but it was Spurs who prevailed with 70 points while Arsenal and Chelsea finished with 69 and 68 points, respectively. Southampton's breakthrough showcased that they could potentially be a challenging team as they finished 5 points behind 4th and the point difference between them and West Ham, who finished 8th, is the exact same as the point difference between them and Liverpool, who finished runner-up. The 2015-16 Premier League champions, Leicester City, finished 9th while Crystal Palace rouned out the top 10. Brighton, Everton, Bournemouth, Wolves and Fulham made up 11-15th place while Newcastle and Huddersfield narrowly avoided relegation. The 3 teams that are dropping down to the Championship is an interesting bunch as no one would have predicted Watford to finish in last place while Burnley got relegated despite advancing to the Europa League knockout stage from a group that consisted of Rennes, Celtic and Villareal while Cardiff was most expected to get relegated.
Next Update: 2019 End Of Season Awards
Looch
Anthony Martial has deservedly won our Player Of The Season after getting more than half of the fans' vote in a season where he got 17 goals and 13 assists in the league. Chong was our runner-up after he got 10 goals and 15 assists in the league while he got 8 goals in the Champions League. Chilwell was our signing of the season as expected since we only made a few signings while Martial won Young Player Of The Season. Paul Pogba scored many goals and one of them got him the Goal Of The Season award.
SEASON REVIEW
We've had a great season that improved as it went on and we nearly finish 2nd in the EPL while we made the final 4 of the Champions League and got knocked out in the quarter-final of both the EFL Cup and FA Cup by Liverpool.
SQUAD DYNAMICS
The squad dynamics of our squad at the moment is good as we have an excellent dressing room atmosphere and very good managerial support. Our current team leaders are David De Gea, Antonio Valencia who is leaving on a free transfer and Paul Pogba, the main candidate to fill the captain void left by Valencia.
CONFIDENCE REVIEW
The board overall is very pleased with our leadership of the team and in specific with our tactics and dressing room atmosphere.

Next Update: Pre-Season 2019
Looch
Maximiliano Castillo - ST - Velez - £5M
A youthful striker with good attributes, ability and potential.
Jeremy Doku - LW - Anderlecht - £10M
This guy has impressive attributes for a 17-year-old and he has already played a senior match for Anderlecht.
Kostas Manolas - CB - Napoli - £32.5M
I couldn't resist the temptation to active his relatively cheap release. Hopefully, he can provide intense competition in defence and add his experience to the squad.
Peter Gulaci - GK - RB Leipzig - £17.5M
A home-grown goalkeeper who has got the ability to be the first choice at most Premier League clubs. He is only 29 and got a few more years on him as a goalkeeper and I believe it is shrewd business to add a home-grown player into our squad for £17.5M
Nabil Bentaleb - CM - Schalke 04 - £26M
A homegrown player for a great price who has many more years left on him. He will provide great depth for us.
Kevin Mbabu - RB - Young Boys - £7.5M
We needed a back-up for Dalot at right-back and Mbabu filt the slot perfectly. We got him for a great price and he is also home-grown.
James Ward-Prowse - CM - Southampton - £32.5M
An English player who is only 24 that has got good creativity and amazing ability at set-pieces who also filled our home-grown contingent. He proved himself in the Premier League last season as he scored 5 and racked up 10 assists.
Adrien Rabiot - CM - PSG - Free
Once I found that he was available on a free, it was a no-brainer to sign him. He's going to be valuable to us in midfield with his very well-rounded skills.
Enis Bardhi - CAM - Levante - £15M
World class free-kicks and also quality at corners, long shots and creating chances. 6 goals and 9 assists in La Liga last season for someone this cheap is good business and I am very excited to see how he develops.
Ian Sprudd - CM - Cardiff - £15M
A great high-quality young box to box who is 2nd division ability at the young age of 16. He is two-footed, has a high work-rate and his attributes are quality and well-balanced.
Kalidou Koulibaly - CB - Napoli - £75M
It was a massive transfer but I felt it was needed if we were to surpass Man City in the Premier League and also mount an even stronger challenge in the Champions League. Koulibaly is entering his peak at 28 years of age and his attributes are so amazing while he is still in amazing physical shape. Hopefully with him, conceding goals won't be a problem and less pressure will be put on our attackers to outscore our opponents.
TRANSFERS OUT
Juan Mata - CAM - Inter - £20M
Mata was great at creating chances but his age was getting the better of him and didn't suit our style of play but I am sure he will impress in more of a slowed-up league such as the Serie A.
Ander Herrera - CM - PSG - £20M
He had lost his spot to McTominay and once he fell down the pecking order, he immediately started to become surplus to requirements.
Fred - CM - Lokomotiv Moscow - £15M
Didn't impress for us in the fairly limited amount of chances he had and although we made a heavy loss on this one, it was time for him to move on as he was surplus to requirements.
Chris Smalling - CB - Everton - £14.25M
Struggled for game time like Jones and was never going to fit in with our new high-quality influx of centre-backs.
Matteo Darmian - RB - Celtic - £7.5M
Started off the campaign surprisingly well but it eventually died down and he became dead wood that eventually got moved on.
Marcos Rojo - CB - Fiorentina - £5M
Great to get him off the wage bill, was an injury-prone player that would have never broken into the team, even during those rare occasions that he was fit.
Matt Olosunde - RB - Portland - Free
Brenner - ST - Eibar - Loan
Scott McTominay - CM - Porto - Loan
Due to lots of midfield players being signed, I decided it was best for McTominay to leave on loan as I also want to give chances to the young midfield trio of Docker, Lentall and Sprudd.
Matej Kovar - GK - Pribram - Loan
Dylan Levitt - CAM - Exeter - Loan
James Garner - CM - Derby - Loan
Andreas Pereira - CAM - Celta - Loan
Jeremy Doku - LW - Barnsley - Loan
Aliou Traore - CM - Le Mans - Loan
Callum Gribbin - CAM - Forest Green - Loan
Timothy Fosu-Mensah - RB - TSG Hoffenheim - Loan
Lincoln - ST - Getafe - Loan
Ramires - CAM - TSG Hoffenheim - Loan
Joel Pereira - GK - Barnsley - Loan
Demetri Mitchell - LB - Hull - Loan
Dean Henderson - GK - Levante - Loan
Nishan Burkart - ST - Exeter - Loan
Arnau Puigmal - CM - Exeter - Loan
Maximiliano Castillo - ST - Maccabi Tel-Aviv - Loan
James Wilson - ST - Portsmouth - Loan
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson - Loan
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLIES
We've had an interesting pre-season but most importantly, we improved towards the end significantly and I feel very confident about the upcoming campaign.
PRE-SEASON ODDS
Title Odds
This is going to be a very competitive Premier League season and I would say we are thereabouts in terms of challenging with Liverpool and Man City for the title and while Chelsea are tipped to finish 4th, I wouldn't discount Spurs while Arsenal might even finish 4th but they are also facing pressure from Everton, West Ham, Leciester, Southampton and Wolves for the 6th spot.
Golden Boot
Defending champion Aubameyang is the favourite to win but Rashford and Lukaku are the two most likely from our club while Aguero, Vardy and Martial are also in the mix.
Top Player Odds
Salah and De Bruyne are the two players tipped to win this award and although Rashford is the most likely from our club, I believe most of our other players have potential to win it as well.
Top Young Player Odds
Dele Alli is the favourite but Martial is in the mix and I expect him to win it.
Next Update: August & September 2019
Looch
August was quite a solid month for us in my opinion. We got a respectable 2-2 draw with Tottenham away from home while we easily put away Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Wolves.
LEAGUE TABLE
We currently sit 2nd in the table following our strong start to the season. Greenwood and Ward-Prowse are leadings in average rating while Ward-Prowse is top 3 in most assists.
SEPTEMBER 2019
September wasn't a good month as we started off with a goalless draw against Everton. We picked ourselves up with a 2-0 win over Valencia and a 4-0 battering of Crystal Palace but we got knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Chelsea. We finished off the month with a 4-4 draw against Huddersfield where our defensive liabilities overshadowed our goalscoring abilities.
LEAGUE TABLE
We still sit top 3 despite a disappointing month. Greenwood and De Gea are 3rd for most goals and most clean sheets, respectively.
Next Update: October & November 2019
Looch
We started off the month with an enormous 8-1 win over RB Leipzig followed by a 3-1 win over Bristol City and a 3-2 victory over Chelsea. We then continued our strong Champions League campaign with a 4-0 win over CSKA Moscow and ended the month with a 1-1 draw against Man City.
LEAGUE TABLE
Our Premier League campaign is continuing to go positive as Greenwood is still within a shout of winning the Golden Boot, although he's going to have to keep up this consistency for the rest of the season.
NOVEMBER 2019
Our month started off with a disappointing 4-1 loss against Arsenal followed up by a 5-0 win over CSKA Moscow and Southampton. We then drew against Newcastle in the Premier League and Valencia in the Champions League before ending the month with a solid 3-0 win over Leicester.
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit 3rd in the league table after 14 matches and Jesse Lingard is playing extremely well.
Next Update: December & January 2019/20
Looch
December is a very long month and we started it off with a 3-3 draw with Brighton followed up by a 4-0 win over Leeds and a 3-0 win over RB Leipzig. A draw against West Ham followed before we smashed Spurs 5-1. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of a game that ended 5-1 which was against Liverpool, our bitter rivals, but we followed it up with a 4-0 win over Fulham where our 16-year-old new Welsh signing, Ian Sprudd, scored a hat-trick on his Man Utd debut. Our solid month ended with a 6-2 thrashing of Aston Villa away from home.
LEAGUE TABLE
We now sit 2nd after 21 games although Liverpool has 3 matches in hand. Jesse Lingard is having an amazing campaign as he tops the ladder for the highest amount of goals, player of the matches while he is the best performing player in the league.
EUROPEAN GOLDEN BOY
Mason Greenwood deservedly wins the European Golden Boy after 17 goals and 4 assists in 25 matches with an average rating of 7.41.
AFRICAN X11 OF THE YEAR
Kalidou Koulibaly has been included in the African X11 of the year.
MANAGER OF THE MONTH
After an impressive month, I have taken home the EPL Manager Of The Month for December.
BALLON D'OR
Neymar has ended the 11-year reign of Messi and Ronaldo winning the Ballon d'Or thanks to his impressive 30 goals and 10 assists in 50 matches. He also has an average rating of 7.74 which is considerably higher than Ronaldo had an average rating of 7.48 despite his 27 goals and 8 assists.
JANUARY 2020
We continued our great form by winning every single match of the month. Plymouth got defeat 2-0 and we beat Bournemouth and Wolves 4-1 and 3-0. We ended off our month with a 3-1 win over Charlton and a 4-3 win over Everton.
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit 3rd in the table as Jesse Lingard makes the top 3 for most goals, assists, POMs and highest average rating.
Next Update: February & March 2020
Looch
February was started off with a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace where we followed that up with a 3-0 win over Huddersfield and a 3-2 win over Chelsea. Unfortunately, we succumbed to a 5-2 defeat against Bayern in the first leg of the first knockout round in the UEFA Champions League. Since we rested a few important players, Bristol City managed to upset us 3-2 but with fully fit players, we smashed Chelsea 4-0 and beat Man City 1-0 thanks to a Pogba goal.
LEAGUE TABLE
We trail Man City by 4 points as Jesse Lingard is leading the race for the Golden Boot.
YOUTH INTAKE
We've had an okay youth intake, but not as good as last year's one since our only stand out player is English goalie, Dylan Baines.
100 MATCHES
We played our 100th match in management against Stoke City, which we ironically lost 4-1.
MARCH 2020
March was an amazing month, for the first two games. We easily put away Arsenal 3-0 before smashing Bayern 8-2 in the second leg to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Unfortunately, we rested lots of players and we lost to 2nd division side, Stoke City. After we came back from the international break, we drew 1-1 against Newcastle where Kaio Jorge scored a debut goal.
LEAGUE TABLE
We still sit 3rd, but this time we're trailing Liverpool by 4 points.
Next Update: April & May 2020
Looch
We've had an amazing month which started off with a 5-0 win against Southampton followed up by a 3-0 win over Leicester City, which was also away from home. We were up against Real Madrid and managed to convincingly beat them 3-0 before drawing to Brighton mid-week, but with our fit and strongest team, we managed to even beat them 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit 3rd in the league table with 2 games left. Lingard is leading the ladder for most assists as he has racked up 10 assists as well as 14 goals in the league.
BOARD TRANSFER BUDGET
Following our confirmation of a place in the Champions League next season, the board have set an initial transfer budget of over 200 million pounds.
EPL FINISH
A great end to the season as we beat our rivals, Liverpool 3-2. We finished 3rd in the league table and I reckon we can do even better next season.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL
An amazing match, it was very crazy and emotions ran very high throughout the match, but it's a very important one that will stay in history for a long time to come. Pogba missed a penalty within the first 20 minutes, courtesy of an Oblak save, who had been playing outstanding throughout the match stopping many key chances from our players. In the end, we were too good and Chong assisted an Eric Bailly winner.
MAY 2020
We had an amazing month as we defeated Fulham, Napoli and then beat Liverpool in the EPL and won the CL final against Atletico. A sign of top-quality things to come next season?
Next Update: 2020 End Of Season Awards

Looch
We finished 3rd in the Premier League again and our job was in scrutiny until we won the Champions League. It's definitely going to be a hard task defending the Champions League, but we must improve on our Premier League position. The next important trophy we want to win is undoubtedly the Premier League, and we would also like to go on to win the domestic cups. Hopefully, we improve our Premier League position in our 3rd season.
Looch
I am also expecting big things too, hopefully we can come much closer to winning the Champions League, although with how strong Liverpool and Man City are, we are going to need lots of consistency without tiring our players.
Looch
Pogba has taken away the Player Of The Season award following another strong season in the league. Sprudd took away the Goal Of The Season following his amazing breakthrough. Martial has won the Young Player Of The Season following a strong end to a solid season. The Signing Of The Season has gone to Nabil Bentaleb, our homegrown player following a great season.
SEASON REVIEW
We've had a decent season as we finished 3rd place in the Premier League for the 2nd season in a row, but we have definitely shown how good we are at our best, especially throughout the Champions League, where our amazing performances have occurred. Unfortunately, we got knocked out in the third round of the Carabao Cup and the sixth round of the FA Cup.
SQUAD DYNAMICS
Our squad dynamics are strong as our leaders continue to be Rashford, de Gea and Pogba.
CONFIDENCE REVIEW
Our job is stable, but our performance in the Premier League was disappointing and thankfully, our Champions League win saved us.
COMMERCIAL SUMMARY
Our club captain, Paul Pogba, sold the most shirts this season as his French compatriot came runner-up while Lukaku, Rashford and Chong rounded out the rest of the top 5.
EPL REVIEW
Man City have won the Premier League for the 3rd consecutive season in a row. Anthony Martial got the most assists and had the highest average rating while Aubameyang took out the Golden Boot with a tally of 20 goals throughout the campaign. Leicester have surprisingly got relegated alongside Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

We ended off our month strongly as we won all our matches in May and won the manager of the month award.
JOB FUTURE
We've had to make a promise to the board that we will get 11 points in our next 5 league matches.
Next Update: Pre-Season 2020
Looch
Miguel Iglesias - ST - Newell's Old Boys - £5M
Pablo Faggioli - ST - Velez - £200K
Keylor Navas - GK - Real Madrid - £10M
I couldn't resist signing a cut-price Keylor Navas. He's going to get a fair few matches in the other competitions. He is still in his peak at the age of 33 and his attributes are still quite solid and he will have a good impact on our dressing room as well as providing adequate back-up for De Gea.
Antoine Griezmann - ST - Atletico Madrid - £110M
Unfortunately, our attempts to resign Cristiano Ronaldo has fallen through this season since we cannot afford his £1M p/week wages but we were able to manage Antoine's wages and following 2 amazing league seasons where he got 30 goals and assists in 34 league matches, we decided to sign him up to provide that extra world-class edge we needed to help us win the Premier League.
Giorgi Chakvetadze - CAM - Gent - £20M
We've been scouting Giorgi basically since I've started my reign as manager and following an even better league season in Belgium where he got 14 goals and won 10 player of the match awards, I decided to snap him up for £20M.
Daniel Thomas - CB - Southampton - £50M
Following the sale of Kostas Manolas to Arsenal for £45M, we needed a replacement centre-back and I've been following Daniel for quite some time and although the Saints asked for quite a bit of money, I felt it was worth it as this man had amazing potential and already has solid ability at the young age of 16. He is homegrown and will develop into a fantastic legendary player.
TRANSFERS OUT
Matthew Sutton - CB - Sunderland - Loan
I felt it was best for Matthew Sutton to get a bit of Championship experience at Sunderland since it was quite hard for him to get a good breakthrough in.
Lee O'Connor - CB - Sunderland - Loan
Despite a breakthrough in the first season, Lee could not build on that in the 2nd season and it made sense for him to get quite a bit of first-team football in the 2nd division. Hopefully, this will help mature his transition to Premier League football and maybe one day have a role at our club.
Morgan Rogers - ST - Sheffield United - Loan
Alexis Sanchez - LW - Arsenal - Free
I was so desperate to get Alexis off our wage bill that I was willing to sell him for nothing. We also have a £100K wage contribution but I decided it would be much better to not have to pay £400K per week for an ageing player who barely featured throughout the season.
Jeremy Doku - ST - Barnsley - Loan
He had a good loan spell at Barnsley last season as he got 11 league goals and hopefully, he improves on that and maybe we can then transition him into Premier League football.
Axel Tuanzebe - CB - Norwich - Loan
Aston Villa have been relegated and Norwich are the only Premier League interested in taking Axel on loan so this deal was a no-brainer.
Enzo Millot - RW - Barnsley - Loan
Timothy Fosu-Mensah - RB - West Ham - Loan
A very versatile player who is going to get quality experience at West Ham who finished 4th last season which means he'll also get a taste of UEFA Champions League group stage football.
Regan Poole - CB - Exeter - Loan
Justin Lentell - CM - Barnsley - Loan
There wasn't any improvement in his average rating, in fact it went from 7.26 to 6.86 and hopefully some 2nd division football will serve him a good experience. We also have plenty of midfielders and it would be quite hard for him to get a chance.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson - LB - Hull - Loan
Adrien Rabiot - CM - Tottenham - £38.5M
We signed him on a free, he didn't impress in his first season and to make an approximate £40M profit was a no-brainer for someone who would struggle to make our team with our long-list of midfielders.
Ramires - CM - Barnsley - Loan
Scott McTominay - CM - Brighton - Loan
Miguel Iglesias - ST - PSV - Loan
Sergio Romero - GK - Fenerbahce - £7.5M
Pablo Faggioli - ST - Exeter - Loan
Kostas Manolas - CB - Arsenal - £45M
He had a great season for us and we made a £12.5M profit on him despite only having this peaking player for a season.
Maximiliano Castillo - ST - Hertha BSC - Loan
He had a great loan spell for Maccabi Tel-Aviv and hopefully, he can take the Bundesliga by storm.
Matej Kovar - GK - Fleetwood - Loan
Giorgi Chakvetadze - CAM - Lyon - Loan
Following an even stronger season in Belgium, we have loaned out Giorgi to Lyon where he will hopefully impress.
Nishan Burkart - ST - Exeter - Loan
Dylan Levitt - CAM - Exeter - Loan
Aaron Morton - LW - Blackpool - Loan
Arnau Puigmal - CM - Middlesbrough - Loan
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLIES
We have had a strong pre-season that was filled with only wins. One player who really lit up some of our matches, especially the latter ones in which he played more, was Enis Bardhi and I am really excited to working with him again this season as he is technically gifted while also being the best at set-pieces in the world which gives us a whole different dimension which we can use to beat any type of team.
PRE-SEASON ODDS
Title Odds
Liverpool have been made the Bookies' favourite while we are tipped to improve on 3rd place and finish runner-up. Surprisingly, 3 time defending champions, Man City, are expected to finish 3rd.
Golden Boot Odds
Aubameyang has been made favourites to defend his Golden Boot while Harry Kane is some to not count out as well as our Lukaku and Martial who I believe will have an amazing season.
Top Player Odds
Harry Kane, De Bruyne, Salah and Hazard are all in the mix to win the Top Player award while Pogba and De Gea are the top 2 most tipped from our club.
Top Young Player Odds
Rashford is tipped to win the award in a top 5 predicted list that features all Englishmen.
Next Update: August & September 2020

Well done on winning the Champions League. Now bring the PL Trophy back to Old Trafford!
Looch
Our Premier League campaign started with a 4-0 win over Bristol City at home. We then played our bitter rivals, Liverpool, in the Super Cup but narrowly lost by a goal. After that, we beat Chelsea 5-3 where Martial scored his 6th goal in only just 3 games. We ended off the month with a 3-2 win over West Ham and a 4-0 and 5-0 win over West Brom and Norwich, respectively.
LEAGUE TABLE
We are currently on top of the table after 5 wins our first 5 matches. Lukaku is leading the Golden Boot race with 7 goals while Anthony Martial is closely tracing him with a tally of 6. Chong leads in average rating and assists while Enis Bardhi has the 2nd most amount of assists with 3 to his name so far.
EURO SUPER CUP
Unfortunately, we could not win this piece of silverware against our bitter rivals, but hopefully, we will get another opportunity within a few years time.
MANAGER OF THE MONTH
Despite an easy amount of fixtures except for the Chelsea match, we performed to a good standard and didn't mess up like we sometimes have in the past. We've also scored 21 goals in 5 matches which is pleasing to know.
SEPTEMBER 2019
Our month started off with a 0-0 draw against Arsenal, which was followed up by an impressive 3-0 win against Real Madrid. We continued our domestic form by beating Leeds, Walsall and Bournemouth.
LEAGUE TABLE
We still sit top after 8 matches. Enis Bardhi now has 5 assists.
Next Update: October & November 2020
Looch
Haha, wow! Thank you and I believe we can bring that Premier League trophy. Once we get the Premier League we'll be looking for the treble, a domestic treble, other tropies such as Club World Cup and European Super Cup and maybe even a quadruple or quintuple.

Looking good this new season, keep it up.
Looch
October started off strongly as Martial was prominent in our 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool and our 1-0 win over Man City. We had a few tired players from the international break and it finally caught up with us when we played a considerably weaker line-up in our 2-0 loss to Celtic. We recovered by beating Fulham 4-0 before defeating Liverpool on penalties in the Carabao Cup. Our month ended off with an away win over Wolves in the Premier League.
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit 7 points clear at the top of the table while Martial has already hit 12 league goals this season.
MANAGER OF THE MONTH
Our 2nd individual accolade this season and I doubt this will be the last Manager Of The Month award we receive this season.
NEW CONTRACT
The board have been very pleased with our league form and have increased our wage by around £100K per week and our deal now expires in 2025.
NOVEMBER 2020
We made up for our previous loss to Celtic by smashing them 5-1 courtesy of a Jesse Lingard hat-trick before beating Crystal Palace 3-0. Following the international break, Mason Greenwood's form has finally returned after he dropped off mid-season last season. He was on 8 league goals in around 14 games and ended the campaign with 8 goals in 27 matches. Unfortunately, his heroics weren't enough to get us that needed goal in our 2-2 draw. We ended off the month strongly with a 1-0 win over Real Madrid and a 5-1 smashing over Tottenham.
LEAGUE TABLE
It has been another great month as we now sit 9 points ahead in the table while Lukaku is our 2nd player to reach double digits in their goal tally. De Gea is tied 1st for most clean sheets while Chong has already racked up 9 assists.

About time 😂
Looch
Thank you! I've decided to hand Rom a few more league matches this season as he only competed in 20 last season and 18 the season before. His goal tallies are amazing though as he got 14 goals and 4 assists in 18 league matches during the 1st season and although he only got 10 league goals and 1 assist in 20 matches in the 2nd season, he scored 2 in 2 in the cup and 9 in 11 (with 8 starts) which brings his total to 21 goals in 25 competitive starts and if you include off the bench appearances it is 21 in 33 which is still an impressive total.
Looch
We had a great month which started off with a win over Huddersfield followed up by a 6-0 smashing of Lazio before getting knocked out by West Brom in the Carabao Cup in a massive goal-fest. Tigres and Flamengo were defeated on our way to the FIFA Club World Championship title, which we haven't held since 2008. Our month ended off with wins over Brighton, Stoke and Everton.
LEAGUE TABLE
We are on 53 points as Martial has hit 16 goals while Chong has 9 assists so far.
WORLD GOLDEN BALL
Ronaldo has won the Balon d'Or this year and we were so close to signing him in the summer instead of Griezmann but we couldn't afford his million-dollar wages.
WORLD TEAM X11 OF THE YEAR
Pogba, Chong and Martial have been inducted into the FIFA World X11
CLUB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Another one for the trophy cabinet
FRENCH PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Deservedly wins after 25 goals and 17 assists in 37 matches. He even finished higher than Mbappe which is impressive.
BELGIAN YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR
An award for Giorgi.
WORLD U21 FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR
Impressive award for our star right-winger.
AFRICAN X11 OF THE YEAR
Once again, Koulibaly is included in the African X11 Of The Year.
PRO LEAGUE A AWARD WINNERS
3rd place for Giorgi.
MANAGER OF THE MONTH
I believe we are on track to win the Manager Of The Year.
AFRICAN AWARD WINNERS
2nd place for Kalidou.
JANUARY 2021
Two big wins against Spurs and Chelsea helped kick-start our month where we beat West Brom, West Ham and Bristol all 3-0. Our month ended with a disappointing 2-2 draw against Bristol before we defeated Arsenal thanks to a late Romelu Lukaku winner.
LEAGUE TABLE
Martial has been crucial to our 66 points in 24 games. 19 goals and 7 assists, as well as 7 player of the match awards, is Balon d'Or quality while Chong has already got 11 assists and hopefully, Lukaku can get to 20 league goals.
Next Update: February & March 2021
