We simulated how long it took Erik ten Hag to win the Premier League with Manchester United

Erik ten Hag faces a huge task to rebuild Manchester United, starting with a crucial summer transfer window ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

Ten Hag witnessed the end of United's worst Premier League season in years after the Reds collected just 58 points from 38 games with a goal difference of zero. And there's set to be a huge overhaul in terms of the playing squad with several players set to leave this summer including Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba.

The absence of Champions League football will hamper United's transfer plans slightly and so a return to challenging for the Premier League title may have to wait a few years as Ten Hag rebuilds the club. The players that remain at United will need to adapt quickly to the 52-year-old's tactical system and playing style, something that the squad showed they were incapable of doing under Ralf Rangnick.
