David Moyes and Ed Woodward were facing the unknown at Manchester United in the summer of 2013.
Moyes had replaced Sir Alex Ferguson and Woodward had replaced David Gill, becoming the club's executive vice-chairman. It was a summer of transition. Those at the club were conscious of the importance of those months ahead of the new season, but that didn't translate into action in the transfer market as supporters were hoping for. United spent just under £30m that summer.
With transfer deadline day approaching that year, Guillermo Varela was the only player that United had signed.
