And the Red Devils are not the only one in favor of reinstating the old timetable.

Despite the opposition against seeing the transfer window continue through August and the first few rounds, not every Premier League side was for moving the deadline day up the calendar. One of those teams was Man United and the Old Trafford side is pushing to have things returned back to the way they were, according to the Sun.

Many clubs did not appreciate the uncertainty of having players push for exits even after the season had begun and thus called for business to be halted before Matchday 1. This plan came into action over the summer but it caused a number of issues for English top-flight clubs.

Firstly, due to the World Cup, teams had an even shorter window to make new additions. Secondly, Europe's other top leagues did not follow suit, which left Premier League sides vulnerable to their continental rivals.

The likes of Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba were linked with transfers away from England even after business came to a halt, as the transfer window remained open in Spain. Neither of those players ended up leaving, but that wasn't enough to calm the fear.

Man United, who were against this plan from the getgo, is keen on getting the window extended. The topic was brought up last week in a meeting between Premier League clubs and could become a top agenda for the next gathering in November.

Ed Woodward's side is not alone. Man City is also against the early deadline day while Tottenham and Chelsea are tipped as two heavyweights that could join the cause. If Man United wish to succeed, they will need 13 other clubs to vote in their favor.
