Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United's good work in the transfer window has given Erik ten Hag a good foundation for success - but not just due to the quality of their new signings.
United have been active in the last few weeks of the window to take their spending to over £230million this summer, adding Casemiro and Antony to the earlier arrivals of Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez, as well as the free transfer of Christian Eriksen and the loan acquisition of Martin Dubravka.
Their ability to salvage some respectable deals after their long and failed pursuit of Frenkie de Jong has renewed optimism around Old Trafford, following back-to-back wins to finally kick-start the Ten Hag era. But most promising for ex-Red Devils defender Ferdinand, is that United have brought in the type of characters that can help the dressing room repair and thrive.
