A look at how Manchester United’s starting XI could look for the coming season after significant spending at Old Trafford.

Manchester United fans will already be looking forward to the new season after significant improvements last term.

Erik ten Hag managed to guide the Red Devils to a big step forward, securing the return of Champions League football, but amid significant spending this summer, expectations will only rise. With Mason Mount in the bag and Andre Onana all-but secured, United will now be concentrating on signing a striker ahead of potentially adding depth, depending on outgoings.

With all that in mind, we have put together a potential United starting XI for the new season based on new signings and the possible striker signing, and it’s an XI worth a whopping £453.3million, according to Transfermarkt valuations.

Onana will be David De Gea’s replacement for the new season.
