Mason Greenwood sale and three key arrivals - what Man United must achieve and avoid in transfer window

Premier League clubs can officially begin trading in the summer transfer window.

This summer's window will run between June 14 and August 30 and Manchester United will look to strengthen their squad after a disappointing 2023/24 campaign.

United finished eighth in the league and recorded a minus goal difference, but Erik ten Hag will remain in charge and get the opportunity to build on his first two years.

Ten Hag has spent over £400million in two summer windows and the early suggestion is United will have £50m to spend in this window. There will have to be sales to offset other arrivals but, fortunately, there are sellable assets in the squad that can be disposed of.

Rasmus Hojlund scored 16 goals in 43 appearances, which represented a respectable return in his first season in England, but there were times when he struggled and that was to be expected
