The decision to stick with Erik ten Hag means the process has started in shaping the squad.
New players will arrive at Old Trafford in the club's attempt to drastically improve on the eighth placed finish in the Premier League.
However, due to the well-documented limitations in the market due to the league's profit and sustainability rules (PSR), INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe face a summer of smart and careful recruitment.
A bid of £43million for Jarrad Brainthwate has already been made, and turned down, with Everton demanding close to £70m. It isn't yet known whether United will return with an improved offer but it does show that the hierarchy are prepared to spend what is necessary.
As well as a new central defender, United need another holding midfielder and striker.
There are also some doubts over the options out wide with Antony failing to discover any consistency and Jadon Sancho likely to leave.
Again, Ratcliffe and Ten Hag must be clever in their recruitment process and that's why the impressive Xavi Simons is a great option for United to consider. For many reasons.
