When it comes to the art of selling players at the right time, Manchester United still have a lot to master.
The Reds, who will get their pre-season schedule under way when they face Leeds United in Oslo this afternoon, have a poor record when it comes to the challenge of shifting players. United are not a selling club and that's been evident in the way they've failed to clear the decks at various junctures in recent years.
Under Erik ten Hag, however, there are nuggets of evidence to suggest that is beginning to change, albeit very slowly. United have already banked transfer fees for two players this summer, allowing both Ethan Laird and Zidane Iqbal to depart on permanent deals.
