BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.

Ben asked: It looks like Manchester United are addressing the goal scoring issues from last season. In my view, there is still strengthening to do at goalkeeper, wing-back and in strengthening a stodgy and distinctly uncreative midfield. I'm not sure that is possible in one window. Where do you see the priorities?

Phil answered: Where do you start, Ben? United's team has gone into decline as a result of poor management and poor recruitment. I think they are right to strengthen in the attacking areas, with Matheus Cunha in and Bryan Mbeumo likely. It will now be interesting to see if they go for a main central striker.

Andre Onana does not convince me as a top-class keeper, but you can't rebuild Manchester United in a day and they have clearly decided the top end of the team is a priority.

This is a huge job to get them even close to main title contenders.
