In a week's time, Manchester United will regroup for their first pre-season under new manager Erik ten Hag in what is shaping up to be another seismic summer at the club.
The Dutchman will welcome back a mixture of different players to Carrington, with senior stars who were involved in international duty being granted an extended holiday to offset their national team commitments earlier this month.
It might be a while yet before Ten Hag gets to work with the players he actually views as integral to his plans next season, but that can be no excuse for him not to look at strengthening his squad beforehand.
