Manchester United are embarking on a new project under Erik ten Hag, with plenty of new faces expected to arrive at Old Trafford this summer. However, if the club are to avoid the mistakes of the past decade, there needs to be a serious shift in how they operate in the market.
United have fallen into the trap of focusing on marquee signings rather than identifying players who would fit the profile they need. Paul Pogba is the shining example of that; an undoubtedly talented player signed for a record fee, however, it was clear that the club didn't know what role he was meant to fill.
Pogba is now set to leave on a free transfer having never fully realised his potential and there are plenty of other players in a similar position. So what should United do now?
