What They're Saying
Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal (via Daily Mail): "You can expect things from Ashley Young. He had a fantastic season, but he is not a Neymar and we have to compete with that kind of class."
Chicharito Says No to $10 Million Offer from MLS
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via Standard): "[Hugo Lloris] played 35 minutes [against AC Milan in the Audi Cup] and it was fantastic to see. Maybe in the next weeks he will be OK. It was very positive today to assess him, but maybe he is not ready for 90 minutes. But it's very important he is ready to come back."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Young is no Neymar, but Memphis Depay is projected to become the next generation's Cristiano Ronaldo. In 30 league appearances with PSV last season, the 21-year-old finished with a staggering 22 goals and five assists.
