With the transfer window now open and a new manager at the helm, Manchester United are set to make big changes to their squad this summer.
It will be Erik ten Hag's first transfer window as United manager and, as always, some of Europe's top talents are being linked with a move to Old Trafford. New forwards, central defenders and central midfielders have been the topic of discussion for United, with the latter the priority after failing to strengthen that position last summer.

As well as incomings, United have waved goodbye to some long-serving players, with Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata all leaving the club.
