Managing Man United - Bryan Mbeumo and Ollie Watkins sign and £200m transfer deals completed

July 1 marks yet another important milestone as we prepare for the new Premier League season as Manchester United can firmly see the start of pre-season in sight.

Soon, the current squad will be arriving at Carrington to undergo their medical tests and then start their first pre-season with Ruben Amorim at the helm. In just 18 days, United will take on their first pre-season fixture in Stockholm against Leeds and that will be our first chance to cast our eyes over the squad.

Currently, first-team additions have been in short supply. Diego Leon, who was signed in January, shall arrive but it is unclear if he will be involved immediately with the senior team or be embedded into the youth set-up. Matheus Cunha is the only fully fledged senior signing this summer but plenty more deals, both in and out, are expected before the season kicks off in earnest.

Ahead of the new campaign, MEN Sport has taken a stab at managing United and this is what we would do.

It was refreshing to hear a player state they would be happy to stay at their current club if their dream move cannot be ratified this summer. Just a shame for United that it happened to be Bryan Mbeumo who has taken this noble stance.

While this does strengthen the hand of Brentford, MEN Sport understands United remain firmly in talks and the hope remains that a deal shall be agreed. At the moment, the confidence remains that Mbeumo will be a Red at the start of this season and hopefully the transfer can be agreed sooner rather than later.

If last season taught us anything, Amorim is not going to alter his formation even when times are hard. Therefore, it seems there is little to be gained with keeping four wingers who are clearly better off plying their trade elsewhere.
