All indications were that this was a side ready for the top division.

The Red Devils are enduring their worst campaign since the Premier League came into existence in 1992.

On Monday, it was revealed that Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley would undergo surgery following a severe ankle injury suffered during the 2019 MLS Cup loss to the Seattle Sounders.
