If there has been one unanimous success of Erik ten Hag's reign so far, it is his signings. The Manchester United manager fought hard for significant backing in his first transfer window and got what he wanted with a record level of investment.
United had never exceeded the £150million mark on permanent signings across a single window before Ten Hag arrived. This past summer they spent a staggering £225.4million on five players across one window, though that was offset significantly by the amount of big earners who left for free at the end of last season.
Given that United view themselves further ahead in their rebuilding plans than they had envisaged at this stage, Ten Hag has already been warned that he won't have as much to spend in the transfer market next year.
