Manchester United will already have one eye on the January transfer window after adding seven players to their ever-evolving squad under Erik ten Hag this summer.
Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund were the marquee permanent signings, costing £180million-plus combined, as four others followed them through the door on deadline day. United swooped late on to sign Jonny Evans, Sergio Reguilon, Sofyan Amrabat and Altay Bayindir.
Reguilon and Amrabat were signed on loan deals. Back-up goalkeeper Bayindir cost €5million from Fenerbahce to offset goalkeeper Dean Henderson leaving.
Due to constraints within the budget, further additions will be dependent on outgoings as United work to recoup vital funds to put straight back into the kitty. But which particular areas will Ten Hag need to strengthen when the market reopens and top clubs across Europe can, once again, get down to business?

Having allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to depart last season controversial circumstances, how United chose to replace the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was particularly important this summer. Hojlund was signed in that respect - but it was Mount who grabbed the club's iconic No.7 shirt.
Hojlund opted for No.11, while Bayindir (No.1), Amrabat (No.4), Reguilon (No.15), Onana (No.24) and Evans (No.35) all picked jerseys which were previously unassigned or left behind by outgoings. Emergency left-back recruit Reguilon overlooked the No.3 he wears for parent club Tottenham.
