Premier League clubs approve changes to associated party transaction rules
The proposed changes came into play after an independent tribunal found some aspects of the APT rules to be unlawful following Manchester City’s lawsuit.
Stricken Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is said to be nearing a return to action and the Frenchman uploaded a video on Twitter in which he is seen working on his fitness in a gym session.

Pogba, United’s record-signing, pulled his hamstring in the Red Devils’ UEFA Champions League tie with FC Basel on September 12 and has been out of action since then.
Jose Mourinho stated that Pogba was a long-term injury casualty like Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (both suffered knee injuries last season) to spark fears that the flashy Frenchman would not be available before November.

In Pogba’s absence, United haven’t done too shabbily as they have maintained their unbeaten start to the 2017-18 season. They did, however, drop points at arch-rivals Liverpool on Saturday.
Their display at Anfield saw many fans criticise Jose Mourinho’s overtly-defensive approach as the hyped clash turned out to be a damp squib with United parking the bus from the off and settling for a 0-0 draw.

United are yet to state when Pogba will return but unconfirmed reports are suggesting the Frenchman is making a faster recovery than initially expected.
The Red Devils travel to Benfica for a UEFA Champions League tie in midweek before visiting Premier League newcomers Huddersfield Town on Saturday but Pogba is expected to miss both the fixtures at the very least.
The 24-year-old is said to be targeting an return for United’s home clash on October 28 against third-placed Tottenham Hotspur but it remains to be seen whether he can feature.
