The action on the pitch starts on Friday night, with Burnley facing Manchester City, but the Reds have a longer wait than most to get the top-flight term under way, with our game against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford not scheduled until Monday at 20:00 BST.

There was dramatic news emerging from our opponents on Tuesday evening, as it was announced head coach Julen Lopetegui had departed after nine months at the helm.

Former Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neil has been unveiled as his replacement and will take charge for the first time in Manchester.

Monday’s match will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK and the broadcaster was present, along with club media, to cover the opening drills of Wednesday’s morning session.
