Manchester United's next manager faces a huge challenge.
After signing the likes of Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo in last summer's transfer window, an assault on the Premier League title was expected, but never materialised. They instead face missing out on the top four and a place in next season's Champions League altogether.
Being unable to boast about Champions League football would be a huge blow for the club, least of all in their attempts to bring in new signings who want to compete with the very best that Europe has to offer on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Nevertheless, the new manager will need to quickly the club moving in the right direction once again, regardless of whether they are in Europe's premier club competition or not.
