GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL FANS
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Southampton at St Mary’s thanks to Mason Greenwood’s equaliser, which cancelled out Fred’s own-goal.
Tottenham beat Wolves 1-0 at Molineux with a goal by Dele Alli, who beat Jose Sa from the penalty spot.
This match marked the return of Harry Kane, who came off the bench amid rumours suggesting Manchester City want to sign him.
Chelsea won the London derby against Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates following goals by record-signing Romelu Lukaku, who made his debut, and Reece James.
Meanwhile, United have received a major boost in their bid to sign Borussia Dortmund superstar Erling Haaland.
That is because Haaland’s £64million release clause kicks in once the mid-season transfer window opens in January, according to Marca.
It had previously been thought that the star centre-forward’s cut-price clause would not come into effect until the summer of 2022.
The Norway international is currently being valued by Dortmund at a fee in the region of £130m but he could potentially be moving on for less than half that price.
Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo was dropped to the bench for Juventus’ Serie A opener against Udinese after reportedly asking not to start.
Ronaldo has been strongly linked with a move away from Juve this summer but is yet to find a suitor.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the star forward requested not to be included this time around as he hunts for a transfer in the next few days.
Romano reports that the Portugal international is hoping to ‘find a solution’ in the transfer market.
But the Italian giants have yet to receive a bid for the United legend.
