The transfer window has been something of a rollercoaster for Manchester United to date. We all knew Casemiro was leaving but it’s been tougher for the Red Devils than first imagined when it has come to replacing the great Brazilian. Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes were their top targets but they have joined Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur instead. Subsequently, Michael Carrick and Co have had to get a bit creative.

Rather than adding him after one of the biggest victories of his career, DAZN is betting that the former two-division world champion can rebuild his position after losing to Shakur Stevenson last January. DAZN believes it bought low on one of boxing’s biggest names. Teofimo remains one of the sport’s most recognizable personalities and one of its best self-promoters.
