Erik ten Hag is looking to complete the next stage of his rebuild at the end of the season with fresh reinforcements, but his plans for the team are somewhat hindered by the fact he has already had more financial backing than the club had initially planned for.

The Dutchman has certainly justified last summer's record-breaking level of spending through the success of his new arrivals, though there can be no ignoring quite how much they spent.
