Erik ten Hag's primary objective after arriving at Manchester United this summer was clear: overhaul a beleaguered playing squad that was responsible for the club recording their worst-ever finish in the Premier League era last term.
The Dutchman quickly identified that the club was in need of attacking reinforcements - even before Cristiano Ronaldo expressed a desire to quit the club just 12 months after his return.
Ajax forward Antony emerged as United's primary target, however, PSV Eindhoven's coveted winger Cody Gakpo also featured prominently on the Red Devils' transfer wishlist. A deal for the former was finally struck near the end of the summer transfer window, but a move for the latter failed to materialise.
