Erik ten Hag is about to complete the first part of the Manchester United rebuild

Two down and one to go. That one is a No.9. Once Erik ten Hag has a new centre forward, he will have a Manchester United XI he is completely content with.

Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Mason Mount and Antony are Ten Hag's signings, Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford have signed renewals on Ten Hag's watch, Bruno Fernandes is about to be officially recognised as captain and Ten Hag has rhapsodized about Raphael Varane more than most United players.

It is not a coincidence the last United manager who assembled a team in his own image after only two transfer windows was also Dutch.

Louis van Gaal was backed with 13 signings in his first three windows and still fatefully ended it short of a striker. That cost Van Gaal after a season where United finished back in the Premier League top four and supporters sensed a title challenge.
