Erik ten Hag wasted no time in putting his own stamp on the Manchester United squad.
The Dutchman was hired this time 12 months ago with the Red Devils about to conclude their worst ever Premier League campaign. Under the stewardship of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick, United had slumped to their lowest nadir in a generation.
Ten Hag inherited a broken and fractured dressing room, defined by underperformance and training ground leaks. There was no surprise then when he quickly revamped the playing squad in his own image.
