Manchester United are set for an interesting summer as they look to take their first real steps forward under new partial owner Jim Ratcliffe. The Red Devils were not shy in spending last summer, splashing out more than £200million, and while Financial Fair Play will be a challenge again this summer, they are going to need to invest to improve the current squad.
United have already been linked with a number of players, and it is clear that a centre-back, midfielder, left-back and winger are required ahead of next season. With that in mind, we have put together a United XI for next season based on recent rumours. The team adds up to a whopping €561 (£479.8m) in value, according to Transfermarkt. Take a look below
