Manchester United
EnglandLast season, Manchester Unitedhad a decent start to their 2021-2022 Champions League campaign, but after successfully qualifying for the playoffs, the Red Devils were knocked out of the competition by Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. In the Premier League, the team finished in 6th place in the table with a total of 58 points from 38 games.
Erik ten Hag became the new manager in the offseason. Other additions to the team include Lisandro Martinez from Ajax (57.37 million) and Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord (15 million).

Jurgen Klopp's men were impressive in all the domestic tournaments, too. The team won the League Cup and the FA Cup, and finished in 2nd place in the league, just one point behind Manchester City. Liverpool scored a total of 94 goals and conceded only 26 - less than one goal per game on average.
