The excitement of a new era at Manchester United was almost palpable, according to one observer. The part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox were full of optimism. What owner isn't energised by making a coaching appointment, especially their first? It was a chance for Ratcliffe to put his imprint on United after years of drift under the Glazers.

Following a third consecutive trophyless season and the added disappointment of dropping out of the Champions League places, there has been something of a summer reset at Manchester City. Andree Jeglertz, the former Denmark coach, has made the move to England to become Manchester City's head coach and is tasked with changing their fortunes of a team that has, by their high standards, underdelivered in recent years.

"This is a club with a proud history and a passionate fanbase, and I believe strongly in the project taking shape here," said Weiler.
