It promises to be a busy summer for Manchester United and while they may not have the riches Champions League football brings to add to their kitty, a whole host of expected outgoings this summer means there should be money to spend.
The club are likely to complete the singing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £62.5m deal. United need to address their goalscoring problems and so changes to the frontline will be key, but midfield is also a department in need of attention.
We've taken a look at how United's dream midfield could look after a dream transfer window. For the purposes of this exercise, we have classed wing-backs as part of the midfield set-up.
