It seems that Arsenal are close to agreeing a transfer for Youri Tielemans. The only thing remaining is for the clubs to agree on the price - Arsenal is offering 25 mil. pounds whereas Leicester wants 30.
This transfer makes a lot of sense to me, Tielemans is a player I like and I feel he'd be a perfect fit for a team like Arsenal. They need some creativity and goal threat from their central midfielders and he would bring both things.

I don't think, Manchester united can defeat Southampton in their next match because Southampton are using some strategies that will make other teams not to have access to their goalpost till they achieve victory from the match. Manchester united players really performed well in their last match that made them to defeated Liverpool 2-1, that surprised many people that predicted for Liverpool victory. Southampton has talented defenders that will cover the goalpost very well not to allow Manchester united strikers to achieve any goal from this match.
Manchester United are in high confidence in looking at the game against Southampton after winning against Liverpool in the third week. although the Southampton vs Manchester United match is predicted to be fierce when viewed from head to head. I think Manchester United will win again in that match. 
Defensive Manchester United area last match against with Liverpool look safety when Harry Maguire still on the bench, I believe for next match against with Southampton Erik Tan Hag keep priority used the same formation on defensive area with Lisandro Martínez and Raphaël Varane.
Congratulations to the Manchester United coach, their last game will definitely have an influence in their coming games, for the coach, he looked to have tried something different against Liverpool and it worked, If he can make the players follow same pattern and play against the next team they meet in same way, Manchester United will win.
The premiership league this season is full of potential this season. Although we know after about 5 league games per team, everyone would know their place. Players' legs are still warming up. If Ronaldo isn't going to play games for Manchester with the charisma he is known for, he should be allowed to leave. Nice one for the gunners over the weekend. I hope they finish among the top 3 on the league's table at the end of the season. As for Liverpool, the importance of Mane with his drive is glaring. Something needs to be done if Salah is to perform as well.
Liverpool's current look reminds me of the season Manchester City made a very bad start. They had serious problems for a long time but didn't give up and became the winner of the title by a significant point gap as well.
I don't know if Liverpool can do the same. Because this isn't an easy task for any team to do. They need to get lucky on this road as well. For example Manchester City can already be far ahead as you've mentioned and this would end the hopes of being the champions for Liverpool.
They can still bounce back because if you look at the current state of the league, it would be very funny if they gave up just because the results of the 3 matches they started were pretty bad.I don't know if Liverpool can do the same. Because this isn't an easy task for any team to do. They need to get lucky on this road as well.

I think it's too early to give up and this is not Liverpool. What they have to do is keep improving themselves because indeed they are already quite good in the game but their luck and their goal productivity are weak.
It was a very interesting night. Most of us must have waited for Liverpool to win against Manchester United again.
Not for me anyway, i was pretty sure Manchester United weren't going to lose this game tonight, not because they were in a good shape or form, of course they weren't, they came into this game on the back of two straight losses, but that exactly is the reason why i knew they would put up a performance today, and they did, i didn't know it would be this good, neither was i sure they would win, but my prediction for this game all week long was either Manchester United wins, or they draw, losing was out of it for me.Having said that, Liverpool were pretty bad for many parts of that game, they have quite a lot of injury concerns but that isn't an excuse, they have just 2 points from a possible 9, and that is the worst start Jurgen Klopp or any Liverpool fan could have dreamt of, they will bounce back, surely they will, but there is a tendency that before they do, City might have been miles ahead of them.

I highlight the duo between Varane and Martinez in defense which is indeed the key to Manchester United's victory in my opinion. As we can see, how solid their defense is, it seems that this will be a new duet in the Ten Hag era. With his promising performances I don't think Maguire will be the first choice now. But we'll see, whether the Ten Hag will maintain their duet or even trust Harry Maguire to guard the defensive area. If that's the case, it's probably true that he is a deposit player who should always be featured.
It is undeniable that Martinez contribution has indeed provided such a tight defense. He is a specialist in blocking attacks from all directions, that's the skill Manchester United needs. If Maguire existed I'm not sure the defense would be this tight. Besides that, I don't see Bruno showing his selfishness the way he does on the pitch. But here he is a leader and can control his friends very well. If this kind of formation continues to be improved, it is possible that we will see positive things.For today's appreciation, it may be appropriate that Manchester United is trying to get out of the pressure zone. Don't be too happy just yet because in front of a big storm awaits. What we are looking forward to is Casemiro jersey number which will certainly add strength to the midfield.
I think Ten Hag should know what to do, because there's no need to force Maguire to be in the line-up if he's not ready.

Southampton is the next opponent for Manchester United. After they surprised them by winning the game against Liverpool, a lot of praise was given to them, especially in defense as Varane and Martinez did their job to keep out Liverpool's attacks. I wouldn't say they will win this game, but if they play like they did against Liverpool, maybe the win will come to them.

If I wanted to choose a game that would end in a draw, the match I would choose would be between Manchester United and Southampton.
I don't know if Southampton can win this game, but I think they will score.
Although Manchester United won in their last match, we can say that they were lucky. I think they are still playing very badly and need a lot of time to get better. It's not right to talk as if everything went well just because they were able to win in one match

They should put extra effort in the game against Southampton in addition to how they played against Liverpool. Now, it is impossible to underrate any Premier League side. Southampton now leads the league with 4 points, therefore the squad will probably work harder and win more games to gain an advantage before the season is through. Because of their poor start to this current season, some people may want to underestimate Manchester United, but they could already be back to winning ways and reclaiming their former glory.
when Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire were on the bench it actually made the MU players play better. they like playing comfortably different from usual. And in yesterday's match we saw Casemiro who was present at Old Trafford to watch the Manchester United game. it looks like Casemiro will join Manchester United. This player from Real Madrid is considered to have a positive impact on MU players. because the players greeted Casemiro with a smile more precisely by Raphael Varane who of course we know that they used to play a long time together at Real madrid. so whether from here MU will find a turning point to become a better team. What makes me curious is what's going on with Liverpool. they were seeded before the start of the season. but until now Liverpool have not looked optimal in every game.
Was this a coincidence or part of a tactic that Ten Hag planned. 
As we can see, last season Ronaldo was the club's top scorer, but at the start of this season, Ronaldo magic was nowhere to be seen. In the first game Ronaldo started the game from the bench, he came on for Fred in the 53rd minute, while on the field Ronaldo can not do anything. In the second match when they were defeated by Brentford, Ronaldo was assigned as a striker who could make the difference to Manchester United's game, but the result was nothing, Manchester United had to accept a humiliating defeat.
When facing Liverpool, Ten Hag believed more in Marcus Rashford ability to fill the spearhead. Ronaldo had to settle for sitting on the bench because in the previous two games he had failed to score, and as a result Manchester United could pack their first win over Liverpool.
I think ten haq will field Martinez and varene again to face Southampton. Maybe this will be the second test for Varane and Martinez to show that they can be counted on. because we can't just rely on one game to judge them playing well or not. but I hope this will be Manchester United's mainstay to continue to perform well.
Manchester United won Liverpool,and it looked as if they had a tactic forgetting that their was no tactics their,it was pure luck that was on their side.In the second half of the game, Liverpool dominated in all aspects of the game that they almost scored a goal,but because they are not really good this season,they had to loose again.Lets wait to see from now whether Manchester United have just kick started their winning run,but I still think they still have errors and problems,and untill they sought it out,they won't be able to win games.
Liverpool dominated this match, they had 70% of the ball possession. Still trailed 2-0 until 80 minutes. Liverpool also attacked more than Manchester United. This clearly shows that Liverpool's attack is very weak. We are not getting the good gameplay expected from Liverpool's attack. If Nunez was with the squad, maybe Liverpool's attack would have been stronger.
Liverpool is now 5 points behind Manchester City. Every point is very important in Premier League. If he can't get back on track in the next match, it will be more difficult for Liverpool to win the title.

Don't forget Tyrell Malacia always keep Salah in the left corner, this make Salah not comfortable and have a space to shots. I think Malacia deserve to be in starter line to replace Shaw, he's not good in the left back position. The other back position also good since they're do many tackles and blocked many shots from Liverpool, very good performance without Maguire lol. If Casemiro will replace Bruno and Ronaldo play as the center forward, Manchester United might have better result.

This what they started on friendly match before when beat Liverpool 4-0 that playing without those players i was watching Manchester United can comfortable playing the ball and enjoyed the game and regarding Casemiro effect the rumours said if he really arrived to Manchester United then Ronaldo will decided to stayed because he has good relationship with Casemiro while in Madrid so he glad this player be a part of this team but some players such as Fred or McTominay probably with be on the bench because possibly Casemiro will taking over their position

Defensive Manchester United area last match against with Liverpool look safety when Harry Maguire still on the bench, I believe for next match against with Southampton Erik Tan Hag keep priority used the same formation on defensive area with Lisandro Martínez and Raphaël Varane. I think against with Southampton exactly Casemiro will make debut with Manchester United and he will help defensive area because his style as holding midfielder. But what happen with Manchester United after first winning last match against with Liverpool, could make consistent performance on winning record or back drop performance again for next weeks faced with Southampton. 
Well at least Manchester United got their first win this win can help boost their morale for the next match
I agree with you that this win doesn't mean Manchester United are back on track maybe they are lucky
Moments like this often happen in the Premier League so it's not a new surprise.

To be frank, they play like what every other team ought to have played, despite when Liverpool was giving them hell attacks, they slip through. If they could survive such heat from one of the best in the English league, they can survive the rest of the minor teams on the table.
If what Erik said is true and his strategy actually worked after the match against Liverpool, I don't mind him benching Ronaldo for more matches and then use him for smaller matches to gain more points, this will quickly boost their position on the table without conceding any defeats.
But against Liverpool, by launching the ball forwards, they not only negated one of Liverpool's greatest strengths, the press, they also turned those long passes into possession high up the field through the endeavour of Marcus Rashford and his midfield colleagues.
