Erik ten Tag has spent his first few days as Manchester United manager drawing up recruitment plans.
The Dutchman has met with football director John Murtough, technical director Darren Fletcher and chief executive Richard Arnold. Ralf Rangnick has been involved in discussions - although the man who stepped in as interim boss when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer departed in November has also been passing on information about the squad Ten Hag will inherit.
It’s fair to say that every player already at the club will be playing for their future from the moment Ten Hag takes his first training session on June 27. The message from Rangnick is that United’s bloated squad is not fit for purpose.
