Of all the things Erik ten Hag will bring to Manchester United, a level-headed analysis of the first-team squad might well be the most important.
It's easy to be doom and gloom after a disappointing campaign and dismiss the talents of every player on the team. However, sometimes you need to take a step back and realise what solid foundations United still have in place.
Ten Hag's arrival should bring with it the fresh energy and ideas to inspire a disenchanted side, and if he can sort the attitude issues out at Old Trafford, then the task at hand is not nearly as enormous as some are suggesting. Much of the talk is about the players Ten Hag could bring to the club, but just as important will be those already at his disposal who will form the core of his squad next season.
