ERIK ten Hag has overseen two summers in charge of Manchester United but is already close to being able to field an entirely new XI of players he has signed.
United's £400million spend since appointing Ten Hag has refreshed almost every area of the squad, to what are proving to be decidedly mixed results.
New recruits could fill nine spaces in a Ten Hag-era side, with Andre Onana, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Casemiro, Eriksen, Mason Mount, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund all featuring.
That leaves right-back and left-wing as the areas untouched by Ten Hag's spending so far.
Marcus Rashford's return to form last season looked to have solved that dilemma on the left, while Alejandro Garnacho also offers competition.
At right-back, it has continued to be a see-sawing battle between Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Dalot was one of the stars of Ten Hag's first few months in charge before his form plummeted in the second half of last season and Wan-Bissaka resurrected his own Old Trafford career.
