It was a busy summer for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag in the transfer window.
Aiming to build on last year’s third-place Premier League finish and Carabao Cup triumph, seven new arrivals walked through the doors at Old Trafford. An unspectacular start to the campaign hardly has United fans dreaming about domestic and European domination but they will be hoping for improvement once the new faces settle in.

Few knew the Turk when he made the deadline-day switch to United for €5million. To put it simply, Ten Hag needed another goalkeeper on the books after letting David de Gea and Dean Henderson leave.
Another shot-stopper on this list has taken the reins as the undisputed first choice and will likely play the bulk of all fixtures this season. Bayindir was a necessary addition and could still play a part for United in the domestic cups and in the league should Andre Onana leave for the AFCON.
6 - Jonny Evans
A somewhat bizarre move considering Evans’ age and form for Leicester City last season. To spend so much money on transfers since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement and still have one of his academy products featuring in defence against Arsenal is questionable planning. However, what Evans does provide is experience and an in-depth knowledge of the club, attributes money cannot buy. Nobody expects
