It was a summer of renewal at Old Trafford, a window when five internationals with years of experience left Manchester United for nothing, leaving room in the squad for a refresh and wiping millions off the wage bill.
The departures of Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani haven't proved particularly problematic for the club.
They were either peripheral last season or have been replaced and it feels like this squad under Erik ten Hag is better and more united for the changes.
