Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag hasn't shied away from making transfer comments and aiming digs this week ahead of the meeting with Chelsea on Thursday. The two clubs have become intertwined with potential movements between the club and similar targets this summer and have some key similarities heading into the match.
Although United are all but confirmed as having secured a top four spot and Frank Lampard's side are condemned to a bottom half finish - with the chance of falling as low as 14th - the two clubs are both owned by Americans with anger from fans on each side.
Whereas the Glazers are seemingly on their way out, Todd Boehly and Co are still getting their feet under the table but haven't tiptoed around English football in their opening 12-months in charge. The new owners have had far from a perfect induction to the Premier League after being widely ridiculed, and Ten Hag has joined the crowd flocking to point out their mistakes.
