The size of the challenge awaiting Manchester United and Erik ten Hag this forthcoming summer is enormous.
Now that a forgettable 2021/22 campaign is close to reaching its conclusion, United are already putting plans in place for what promises to be one of the most active transfer windows the club has faced in recent years. Big changes need to be made to the first-team squad and the importance of getting it right cannot be underestimated.
Last week, following a forgettable 4-0 defeat to Liverpool, United interim manager Ralf Rangnick admitted that the club could sign up to ten new players this summer to try and put themselves back on the avenue towards success. Several areas of the squad, not least in midfield, need upgrading and it promises to be interesting summer for everyone connected with the club.
