Man United have perfect Jamal Musiala transfer blueprint and secret weapon to help them

Manchester United have entered what Ineos have been marketing as a 'new era'.

With the Glazers still hovering around the club, fans have had to suspend disbelief to get behind the new regime but for the most part, there has been evidence that United are on a different track.
