Erik ten Hag arrived at Manchester tasked with a rebuild following a poor season that saw them finish sixth in the Premier League.
But, four weeks after being unveiled, no new signings have arrived, which is less than ideal. Couple that with several notable departures and suddenly United's squad looks even more underpowered with pre-season creeping up upon the Dutch manager.
As it stands he will be working purely with players he has inherited - many of whom have been subjected to major criticism with some suggesting they aren't up to scratch. Ten Hag certainly has his targets, in fact he's told club chiefs he wants five signings this summer, but securing them has been the bigger problem as the club's history of being less than stellar in the market continues to bear fruit.
