After ending United’s three-year grip on the trophy in May, Chelsea has only made one addition to an aging squad and offloaded several players ahead of Saturday’s opener against West Bromwich Albion.

United’s squad strengthening has only amounted to signing a trio of youngsters, who may not start on Monday against Newcastle.

Such lack of investment could backfire if Manchester City’s big spending — almost $500 million in two years — finally turns the underachievers into a force.

Man City’s campaign begins Saturday at Tottenham, which edged it to fourth place in May.
