It’s almost a month since Manchester United’s record transfer window came to a close.
The scale of task facing new boss Erik ten Hag was clear, inheriting a dilapidated and divided squad coming off their worst Premier League season. The Dutchman was tasked with refreshing the playing staff - but needed to be backed by the Old Trafford hierarchy.
He received that backing in emphatic fashion, with United spending more than £200million, the most they have ever spent during a window. Antony (£85m) and Lisandro Martinez (£54m) were the marquee signings of a summer which will hopefully be looked back upon as a turning point in their recent fortunes.
