Manchester United are expected to be direct competitors with Chelsea next season and Ed Woodward has taken the first step in the right direction to match the Blues' transfer splurge. United finished level on points with Chelsea last season but their fans have had to sit back and watch while Frank Lampard's side brought in £200million worth of reinforcements. There will have been six new arrivals at Stamford Bridge by the time Kai Havertz completes his switch from Bayer Leverkusen this week. It was looking like this summer could turn out to be another disastrous window but United may be turning a corner. Havertz has been one of the leading lights in the Bundesliga registering 12 goals and six assists as his side finished fifth in the table.
