Goalkeeper James Trafford, having starred in the Championship for Burnley last season, returned to former club Manchester City recently and was given a start between the posts by Pep Guardiola for the Premier League opener at Wolves on Saturday.
Named in Thomas Tuchel's most recent squad, Trafford has seen speculation over the past week that Gianluigi Donnarumma is a transfer window target but, for the moment, he is the man in possession at present with doubts over the future of Ederson.
Marcus Rashford's registration as a Barcelona player for La Liga matches was confirmed on Saturday morning and the forward entered the fray as a second-half substitute in a 4-0 win away to Mallorca.
It was a goalscoring start to the season, and another trophy, for Harry Kane with the England captain netting in a 2-1 victory for Bayern Munich against Stuttgart to seal the German Super Cup following last season's Bundesliga triumph.
Capped 36 times by England but having not featured since the World Cup quarter-final defeat by France in December 2022, Mason Mount is well-known to Tuchel from their time at Chelsea and made a positive start to the season despite Manchester United's defeat by Arsenal.
Mount has survived the summer cull at Old Trafford and the 26-year-old's display against the Gunners was praised by pundits.
