Just about to start season 3 with United, let the first season go through with Ten Hag (who was sacked) before taking over with the team having finished 7th in season 1
Season 2 saw a huge rebuild of a club in turmoil and a huge number of first team players wanting to leave for Champions League football.
Out the door went:
De Gea, Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly, Fred, Sancho, Fernandes, Wan- Bissaka, Varane, Williams plus some youth/fringe players for around £200m combined, most of it coming from Sancho at £88m
Van de Beek and Israel Reyes (purchased by Ten Hag) left on loan to buys for a combined £15m
Elanga, Alvaro Fernandez and McTominay left on loans with optional fees.
Ronaldo and Tuanzebe left at the end of their contracts.
We bought in:
Luiz Junior as goalkeeper, Tomori and Marc Guehi as CB replacements, Tyrick Mitchell also came in from a relegated Crystal Palace.
We spent big in midfield with Bruno Guimaraes and James Maddison arriving on deals that will cut into our transfer revenue for years to come. Noni Mudueke and Marcus Edwards arrived to boost our options out wide, Menino came in as a utility player and we added Nicolo Rovella on loan.
Upfront the big signing in was Ivan Toney who came in from Brentford who had also gone down season 1 and Mathys Tel on loan to add some depth.
We also promoted Ethan Laird, Alejandro Garnacho and Charlie McNeil to the first team squad.
Competitions wise it was not a great season with us exiting the Carabao Cup in the 4th round to City, the FA cup in the 1/4's to Brighton and the Europa conference league in the round of 16 to Rennes who tore us to pieces. A 3rd place premier League finish probably kept us in a job.
About to start season 3 with a £85m transfer budget that I've managed to rise to £91m by selling some clauses, Aston Villa have just bid £25m for Luiz Junior which will almost double our outlay on him and PSG are offering £31m for Marcus Edwards, we also have some fringe/youth players we are looking to move on.
This year we want to be a bit more targeted with our transfers, we need to replace out GK as I don't think Henderson is good enough to be a champions league starter, we are looking at Caprile from Bari, attributes look great for a 22 year old and £7m asking price is a steal. De Vrij is transfer listed for £8.75m and will add experience alongside our number 1 defensive target Nianzou who Sevilla will accept £13.25m for.
Further forward our big targets are Musiala who Bayern will allow to leave for £87m and either Jude Bellingham or Moises Caicedo depending on what their teams want.
Finally Endrick arrives at the start of this campaign to play as our back up striker to Toney.
