Iraola's admitting Liverpool can't play like this every week, which is either refreshing honesty or a manager already making excuses in August. • Dortmund beat Arsenal in a friendly and immediately went back for another player—that's the kind of efficiency United couldn't dream of right now. • Mourinho claiming he bottled the United job in 2013 because of an emotional phone call with Ferguson is the kind of revisionism only he could deliver with a straight face. • Lukaku helping Chelsea sign Scott is either a clever power move or proof that the striker's lost his way and is now moonlighting as a recruitment consultant. • United's scouting report on ten years of missed targets is the most expensive therapy session in football—they could've had Haaland and Caicedo for pocket change.
