Manchester United have acted decisively ever since Erik ten Hag stepped into the dugout and they will have to be even more cutthroat when continuing their rebuild in the forthcoming summer window.
Sanctioning nine signings in his maiden season, albeit some on loan, the main priority for United was to solve long-standing concerns in the engine room. However, with that and the impending search for a prolific striker, there are lingering issues that Ten Hag must step in to address.
Casemiro and his impact on United following a move from Real Madrid has been astounding. England captain Harry Kane would no doubt contribute similarly in attacking quarters should Ten Hag and key figures up in the boardroom do the unthinkable and tempt Daniel Levy into selling up.
