It's been a summer of second chances at Manchester United. Of rejuvenation. Of comebacks.
Erik ten Hag has only been in charge for a couple of months and we're yet to see his side in competitive action, but the early signs have certainly been promising. The uncoordinated rabble that shambled to the finish line with a dismal points total last season now actually resembles a structured, drilled outfit that knows what it's doing.
Though just friendlies, United have looked much more comfortable in possession, easy on the eye, decisive in attack and aggressive in the press. Individually, several players who look dejected last season now look to have renewed self-belief.
