The summer transfer window opened on Wednesday but Manchester United and Erik ten Hag had been laying the foundations long before.
United enjoyed a successful first campaign under the Dutchman, winning the Carabao Cup before securing a top-four finish and a place in next season's Champions League.
But rather than the summit, those achievements should merely be the beginning. Ten Hag will oversee a summer of major investment as he builds a squad fit to compete for both domestic and European honours - including a Premier League title push.
