MAN UNITED CONFIDENTIAL: The 25-year-old Dutchman made just five starts in all competitions last season and was an unused substitute at the MKM Stadium on Saturday. Zirkzee is eager to get regular first-team minutes‚ and the sense around the player is that a compromise is required on all sides to facilitate a move.

MATT BARLOW AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Amid so much change‚ some things remain the same. And there is still nothing quite like a trip to Brentford in the Premier League to bring the lofty expectations of the self-appointed elite crashing back to earth. Tottenham‚ having escaped the ignominy of relegation‚ settled upon a head coach to their liking and spent a couple of hundred million in the transfer market‚ took a hiding at the hands of the Bees and were flattered by the scoreline. Roberto De Zerbi saw his team outplayed in every department. Unable to cope with the intensity and physicality in midfield. Unable to handle Brentford's aerial presence up at the back. Unable to get a hold of the ball and offer any threat in attack

NATHAN SALT AT THE MKM STADIUM: Manchester United's new season optimism was extinguished across a bruising 90 minutes in which newly-promoted Hull City ran out deserved 2-0 winners. Hull City have been widely predicted to go straight back down to the Championship‚ but they did a job on Michael Carrick's United side here‚ who never looked at it from the first minute. Goals from centre backs Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy separated the sides but by the final whistle there was no dispute on who the better team was.

CHRIS WHEELER AT THE MKM STADIUM: Well‚ Michael Carrick did say it was ridiculous to suggest Manchester United had been given an easy start to the season away at Hull City. Even in his worst nightmares‚ however‚ Carrick couldn't have foreseen this: an opening-day humiliation at the hands of a team that sneaked through the Championship play-offs in May.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been the victim of Premier League rule-changes - as he has been named a vice-captain but is likely to never wear the armband. Rules that came into play last season stipulate only the team captain is permitted to approach the referee to discuss major decisions or flashpoints in the game. As it would not make sense for Reds shot-stopper Alisson to run the length of the pitch to debate‚ for example‚ a penalty shout‚ he is likely to never wear the armband.

BOOK EXTRACT: On the final day of the season‚ Martin Odegaard was one of the last players to make his way off the Selhurst Park turf with the Premier League trophy in his hands. Photographers commissioned by the league had already snapped the rest of the team individually and were waiting for the captain. As Odegaard spoke to photographers about getting his picture taken‚ an Arsenal staff member pulled the trophy off him‚ telling the Norwegian that 'the boss wants it (the trophy)' before quickly carrying it over to Mikel Arteta. Even in success‚ there was one man who superseded it all. The power a manager wields at a football club is complex. It's not linear. It grows over time and shows itself in differing ways. In the Premier League‚ the power Arteta holds at Arsenal is of a rarer kind.

CHRIS WHEELER: Michael Carrick says it's 'ridiculous' to suggest Manchester United have been handed an easy start to the season - and admits it's asking a lot for his team to be considered title challengers. United kick off the campaign at Hull City on Saturday lunchtime followed by a first home game against another of the newly-promoted teams‚ Ipswich Town‚ at Old Trafford the following week. But Carrick has rejected claims that United have been given an easy ride‚ saying: 'There are no favourable starts. It's an easy thing to throw out there but pretty ridiculous.

The midfielder had just scored to make it 3-1 to his side in the 81st minute‚ but appeared dazed and confused just two minutes later before he was caught by new team-mate Ismael Saibari. After the Morocco star lowered him to the ground‚ medical staff rushed onto the field as Bayern players surrounded the 23-year-old. Amid a hush from the crowd‚ the medical staff eventually game a thumbs up‚ with reports in Germany suggesting that Musiala had struggled with the 33 degrees Celsius heat.
