Manchester United's summer transfer window was often fraught and frustrating but ultimately fruitful as a host of new arrivals joined.
Erik ten Hag acted quickly to bring in Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund in tackling the three key areas of his squad. Further additions followed with back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir joining late in the window along with Jonny Evans, and Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Regulion signing on loan on deadline day.
The squad has a more rounded look - even if injuries exposed the defensive depth in the weekend defeat to Arsenal - and the Reds will hope they have the balance and talent to compete on four fronts when the season resumes after the international break. Ten Hag cannot add to his ranks now until January, free agents aside, and over the next seven days must submit his squad to the Premier League.

All top flight clubs must submit their 25-man list by Wednesday, September 13. The Champions League squad was submitted this week and the major omission was Donny van de Beek, who could yet leave Old Trafford in the coming days.
In the Champions League, under-21 players need to registered, which is not the case in the Premier League, and gives greater flexibility to United. The likes of Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho would not need to be included but can still feature as they are under-21. For the 2023/2024 season, the age cut off is to all players born on or after January 1, 2002.
Under the current guidelines, clubs are allowed to name up to 25 players in their Premier League squad but teams cannot include more than 17 non-homegrown players on their respective lists, while the remaining players must be homegrown.
