If there is one glowing endorsement of Erik ten Hag's eye for talent, it is that his transfer hit rate has been pretty much flawless at Manchester United.
The Dutchman probably doesn't get the credit he deserves for his squad overhaul this season, given that he was backed with a record-level of spending last summer, but it is still a challenge to spend that money effectively.
Perhaps more impressive, though, were the players he managed to get at short notice in the January window, as United were forced to react quickly to the injury setbacks that had depleted their options. Read next: Ten Hag has found his next captain Marcel Sabizter looks like a savvy addition until the end of the season at least, and Wout Weghorst has given them extra presence up front, even if he is not the deadly finisher many fans had wished for.
It was always going to be difficult to sign a clinical finisher midway through a season, not only because they cost a lot of money, but also because clubs are reluctant to part ways with key players before the end of the campaign.
