Manchester United are entering what they hope will be a bright new era at Old Trafford following the completion of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's takeover. The Ineos owner saw his purchase approved this week and after being unable to make an impact in the January transfer window, he'll be keen to make his mark in summer and improve Erik ten Hag's starting XI.
Of course, United must adhere to the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability rules, but Ratcliffe is expected to have room to spend this summer with a number of signings expected. The full extend of Ratcliffe's recruitment plan remains to be seen, but a host of players have already been linked with moves to Old Trafford before the start of the next Premier League campaign.
With that in mind, Manchester World takes a look at how ten Hag's starting XI could look next season if the current rumoured names arrive at United in the summer.

Kimmich is reportedly in line for a summer exit from Bayern Munich with United one of the clubs being linked. The Germany international is just about as experienced as they come and he'd be able to offer plenty to United's midfield. | Getty Images
